The 2003 Austro-Calderan revolt, also known as the Siege of Little Caldera, was a military struggle between the Volkspartei and anti-Volkspartei organizations. The revolt began after years of oppression against the [[Indigeno-Calderan|Volin]] people in the [[Austro-Caldera|Austro-Calderan]] government.  
The '''Siege of Little Caldera''', was a military struggle between the [[Volkspartei]] and anti-Volkspartei organizations. The revolt began after years of oppression against the [[Indigeno-Calderan|Volin]] people in the [[Austro-Caldera|Austro-Calderan]] government.  
   
   
Before the 2003 Revolt, only citizens of Gothic descent could vote for their province representatives, which was originally accepted as many Volins saw the Gothic citizens as simply being more proficient in government, but the continued lack of representation led to rioting and protesting in the capital, [[Little Caldera]], which eventually broke out into combat.

The [[Bavogia|Bavogian]] Province of Austro-Caldera is mostly populated with Volins. Despite this, like in every province, only citizens of Gothic descent could vote for representation. Due to having such a high number of Volins, the province's guard was made up entirely of Volins, and these soldiers saw it as unfit that they could fight for their province but not elect leaders to represent themselves.

When Big Eagle contacted the BPG (Bavogian Provincial Guard) and asked for support for their struggle, Bavogian leader Walter was ecstatic and pledged a brigade in case fighting broke out. These were among the first soldiers to arrive in Little Caldera after the SEP Guard arrived to stop protesters.

Little Caldera designated the 4th of December as "renovation day", and the 5th of December as "province day", and parades are held on both days to celebrate the outcome of the 2003 Revolt. Pictures and videos of the revolt are still shown online and often appear in parades to occasionally pay homage to the soldiers who gave their lives that day, whether in the militia or Volkspartei. Memorials also appear for the civilians wounded, killed, or missing throughout the conflict.
