Timbia: Difference between revisions

The next three decades were not per se bad for the Timbian population, who enjoyed all the technological and social developments the Daxian brought to them while their land was still being exploited. Regardless of this progress, the native population was still treated as a second rate class to the Daxian colonizers, who enjoyed considerable wealth based on the labor of the Timbians.

===Independence and Civil War===

Things changed rapidly for the Daxian puppet state in 1919, when a young Timbian officer in the colonial army named [[Li Xhipong]] shot his Daxian commanding Colonel and revolted with his mostly native company. Other Timbian units within the colonial army followed suit, and soon the Daxian and government loyal Timbian forces were facing a well organized army of ~10,000 Timbian soldiers who had defected from the colonial army. (The Colonial army at the time was made up of segregated Corrumese and Timbian forces, with Daxian senior officers leading the Timbian units at the field level.) This military force, called the [[Timbian War of Independence|Free Timbian Army]], retreated into the hills and fought the Daxian forces through asymmetric warfare, raiding military caches and arming willing civilians as they went. By the time the first regular Daxian reinforcements arrived, the Free Timbian Army counted nearly 30,000.
