The '''Volkian Civil War''' was a {{wp|civil war}} in [[Volkia]] fought from 1885 to 1888. Supporters of the country's parliament and those supportive of implementing a republic fought against supporters of [[Yuri IV]], the Volkian monarchy, and units from [[Blaskog]]. Economic stagnation and social unrest, combined with a devastating food shortage and famine sparked nationwide protests and food riots, especially in the country's west. Things began escalating when the [[Volkgoroda]] garrison abandoned their posts and joined in with rioters, causing parliament to demand Yuri IV's abdication or face removal by force. Yuri IV fled the city on June 1, 1885 and went east, recruiting royalist units from the Volkian Royal Army (Royalists) on his way to Novostolitsa.
The '''Volkian Civil War''' was a {{wp|civil war}} fought in [[Volkia]] between Volkian government forces and several monarchist militias from 1925 to 1926. The fighting resulted in the defeat and disarmament of the militias by the [[Volkian Army]]. It marked the end of major monarchist unrest in Volkia.
 
The Volkgoroda garrison declared their support for parliament and took control of the city, taking control of government buildings and arresting royalists. With Yuri IV out of the city and in an unknown location, parliament voted 348-0 to remove Yuri IV as king with no replacement; a second vote declared parliament's intention to create a republic with a democratically elected head of state. The 152 royalist MPs representing the kingdom's east walked out of the vote in protest and the eastern provinces refused to acknowledge the results. Yuri IV appeared in Moskvol calling for all volunteers to help crush the "parliamentary coup," parliament found increased support from pro-parliament elements of the Royal Army (Parliamentians) as well as republican and pro-parliament militias (Republicans).
Volkia's monarchy came to an end in 1887 and was replaced with a federal republic in 1888. While the majority of voters elected to abolish Volkia's monarchy, there were still many ardent supporters of the Kamenevs. While these supporters hailed from all parts of Volkia, there were many concentrated in [[Yekartovsk Oblast]]. The province was the epicenter of multiple monarchist uprisings by monarchist militias since the failed Purple Rebellion in 1890, but the civil war was by far the largest and longest lasting monarchist conflict.
 
Fighting broke out in Karatal on June 24, 1885 when Parliamentians engaged a unit of Royalists who were scouting ahead of the main army. With the commencement of armed conflict, scattered units from both sides raced to capture key cities and towns. By 1886 a rather clear demarcation line had been drawn with some exceptions: the west supported parliament and a republic while the east supported Yuri IV and the monarchy. After two and a half years of brutal fighting, Yuri IV would be assassinated during a coup that saw the east declare independence and create the Vozhdom of the Tolpas in the kingdom's east; this new government would go on to make peace with parliament and be recognized as an independent state by Volkia. On April 17, 1888, the [[Volkia|Volkian Federative Republic]] was founded following the adoption of the country's new constitution.
The war began when a group of Kamenevists, led by Anisim Dmitriev, attacked the federal armory in [[Kursavka]] on March 9, 1925 in order to secure more weapons and ammunition. Seven government soldiers and four monarchists were killed in the skirmish, with four monarchists captured by the government troops. The next day [[President of Volkia|President]] [[Stefan Gurkovsky]] announced in a speech in Kursavka that the government was declaring war on the monarchist militias.
