Salovian Civil War: Difference between revisions

There is no singular catalyst for the civil war, considering the wide range of sociopolitical and geopolitical variables that preceded the war by centuries. However, the events often used as the prelude to the civil war are a series of events known as the [[Novugdidi Crisis]], which culminated with the assassination of Chancellor [[Ivan Strovani]] on 18 June 1985. His assassination marks the beginning of the war proper, resulting in a string of uprisings focused around the [[Shagonar]] metropolitan region and the cities straddling the [[Khermali River]]. Though most of the riots were anti-Salovian in nature, there were a few pro-Salovian protests that had begun in cities like [[Chita]], Neril'stkeli, and Volutsku. By 1990, most loyalist militants had been quashed by Volovan and Lovelian forces, and in that same year a second wave of uprisings and riots began in the northern Salovian strongholds of Salovia, Chita and Irkula. By 1992, these revolutionary forces had captured the majority of strategic Salovian locations, and in 21 September of that year, Salovia officially collapsed with the exodus of its major governmental officials to the surviving military forces. By 2001, the new political landscape had reached its modern arrangement, and in 2003 all infighting ended with the MBE-EPTO Ceasefire. Two years later, the Treaty of Astravili was signed, officially declaring the end of the war and the formation of [[Baykalia]], [[Kostromastan]], and [[Tuvaltastan]].
