As the violence escalated, the leaders of the National League deposed the three state governments in 1820 and formed an emergency government to handle the civil war that had engulfed the countryside. This action set aside the political structure which had divided future Paulastra for nearly three centuries. Instead, the Provisional Republic of the Songun was formed, merging the political apparatus of the National League with the administrative apparatus of the provisional state governments. The Provisional Republic prosecuted the war to its conclusion. During the war, it took the step of establishing its formal legal independence from [[Kiravia]], which readily recognized it. The 1821 Unilateral Acceptance of Independence has been noted by historians to be the only colonial independence document ever conceived that accepted, rather than declared, its own independence. | As the violence escalated, the leaders of the National League deposed the three state governments in 1820 and formed an emergency government to handle the civil war that had engulfed the countryside.
