The '''Vandarch Canal Crisis''' was a political crisis and, depending on the source, civil war which stemmed from a revolutionary separatist movement in [[Faneria]] from late December, 1991 through January, 1992. Centered around the Transisthmus region of Faneria, the conflict primarily occurred in the provinces of [[Culriocha]] and [[Ereglas]], the latter of which bordered the International Zone surrounding the [[Grand Vandarch Canal]]. The Ereglasian Isthmus had been the subject of major territorial changes following the end of the [[Second Great War]], leading to local resentment against the Fanerian government and the League of nations in general. In addition, Culriocha's distinct, [[Culture of Faneria#Culriocha|non-Fhainnin]] culture, regional language, and historic independence from Faneria prior to the [[West Vandarch War]] had been a long-term source of seditious movements and occasional attempts at secession, the most recent of which had occurred during the [[Rose Revolution]] in 1942. The Crisis involved an armed uprising of Culriochans and aligned Ereglasians seeking a range of goals from regional autonomy like that held by bordering [[Namhe|Namhe Province]] to outright independence; this uprising and the subsequent massive retaliation by the [[Office of the National Army (Faneria)|Fhainnin Army]] caused a three-week international panic, as it was believed by many political leaders at the time that the uprising may have been deliberately provoked as a prelude to a military seizure of the Canal by the Fhainnin government under the nationalist [[Gwyn Feawyr]].

After the launching of an armed rebellion, revolutionary forces assaulted the Canal Zone, prompting an international scare and massive retaliation by both the Fanerian and other governments with interests in the Vandarch.
