Calinthian People's Army: Difference between revisions

The '''Calinthian People's Army''' '''(KVA)''' was the military of the [[Communist Republic of Calinthia|People's Republic of Calinthia]] also known as [[Calinthia]]. '''Gothic:''' "''Volksrepublik Kalinthische''"  

The Communist uprisings on the Western territories of Calinthia by mainly Gothic Calinthians resulted in Republican Guard Forces being stretched thin. At first the Communist Calinthians and Loyalist Calinthians would openly fight one another in many minor skirmishes in the North. However, by late 1937 the Communist Calinthians under General Secretary of the Communist Party [[Siegmund Goering]] (1901 - 1991) would ally themselves with the Loyalists against the Republican Guard Forces. With Communist forces in the West and Loyalists in the East, the Republican Guard quickly found themselves on the back-foot. By early 1940, Republican Guard Forces prepared a hastily built defense around Aurelia and struggled to maintain their supply lines from the port of Napolis. Constant air attacks by the superior Loyalist air force rendered many of the railroads inoperable. In addition, Communist forces under the command of [[Karl Vorkas]] would launch guerilla warfare assaults on Republican garrisons stealing millions worth of military equipment. By the end of the Calinthian Civil War in 1942, the Communist forces would create the Calinthian People's Army (KVA) using the equipment they had stolen from the Republic of Calinthia as well as the equipment donated to them from the foreign supplier Yonderre.
