The War of National Liberation, better-known as the [[Volonian Revolt]], was a theater of the Second Great War that began in 1939 with the secession of the Truřov Province from Caphiria, formally establishing the Republic of Volonia. It was also around this time that Delepasian involvement in the cause of Volonian independence had reached its peak, with many Delepasian operatives getting highly involved in the area. One of the most prominent of these Delepasians was an then-amateur-anthropologist-turned-ON-operative by the name of [[G. C. Lorenzo]], better-known as Lorenzo of Volonia, who had already joined the rebels at the start of the Second Great War in 1934 and spent the half-decade leading up to the Revolt training and uniting the rebels, soon establishing the [[United Volonian Movement]] (MVU) on 20 July 1938. | |||
The MVU was at the time a {{wp|big-tent}} Volonian nationalist organization with members from all across the political spectrum from fervent {{wp|monarchism|monarchists}} on the {{wp|far-right politics|far-right}} to die-hard {{wp|communism|communists}} on the {{wp|far-left politics|far-left}} as well as members of more moderate ideologies in between. Lorenzo was the first leader of the MVU, having been chosen due to his status as a neutral figure. With the formation of the MVU in place, work soon began to covertly supply the movement. Through the ingenuity of Lorenzo's then-superior, Colonel Jorge Videla, this was accomplished through smuggling weapons, ammo, and other needed supplies inside of food delivery trucks which, so as to not arouse suspicion from Caphiric authorities, were hidden amongst canisters that genuinely contained food. It would take just over a year before the rebels have managed to gather enough supplies for the upcoming Revolt. | |||
Shortly after the Volonian Revolt began in 1939, the rebels were quickly able to [[Capture of Caradej|capture]] the city of [[Caradej]] within a few months. Throughout the revolt, the rebels were able to capture more and more of the Truřov Province from Caphiria, soon occupying the entirety of the province by the end of 1942. The Volonian Revolt proved to be an immense success, and the independence of the nascent Volonian nation was soon formally recognized by the international community in the [[Treaty of Kartika]] which came into effect in mid-1943, putting an end to just over one thousand years of Caphiric rule over Volonia. | |||
