The Fhainnin Civil War was a conflict which took place within Fhainnlannachaeran from 1906-1914 (some sources contest the end year as being as late as 1916 at the beginning of the Eight Years' Terrors, while others include the Terrors as part of the war, placing its end date in 1924). The war started over the issue of granting voting rights to male landowners to elect candidates for their ruling Vicariate along with large-scale anti-monarchy uprisings which had increased in intensity since the 1880s.
The Fhainnin Civil War was a multi-party civil conflict which took place within the [[Kingdom of the Fhainn|Kingdom of Fhainnlannachaeran]] from 1906-1909 mainly between the Republicans, lead by [[Callac Cananach|Callac Cananach's]] [[Cananachan Republicanism|faction]], and the monarchy of Fhainnlannachaeran, largely under the umbrella of the [[Volunteer Armies for the Restoration of the Throne]] and the Royal Army of the Fhainn. It was sparked by a series of poor rulers, a disastrous defeat in the 1987-88 [[Fourth Kin War]], which was expected to be an easy victory, subsequent crackdowns on speech and association, and the refusal of the monarchy to extend the voting franchise for Vicars - local governors - to all landed men rather than only nobility.

=Causes=
===Constitutional Crisis===
As stated above, the war is primarily considered to have started over the issue of granting voting rights to male landowners to elect candidates for their ruling [[Royal Vicariates of Fhainnlannachaeran|Vicariate]], which was intended to add a popular voice to the appointment of local governors and ensure that local Vicars were relatively sympathetic and knowledgeable about the regions they ruled. In addition, there was an undercurrent of belief that elections for Vicarial candidates would create a republican tradition within the government and lead to further reforms.
The initial issue stemmed from the shift of Fhainnlannachaeran from an absolute to a constitutional monarchy in 1830, when Rih Luthais Suthar-Màrtainn chose to put a clause in the new constitution which would force the Throne to address the issue of allowing the suffrage of landed male voters for Vicarial seats in 1900. In the immediate term, the document allowed local officials to be elected, but Vicars remained an appointed rank rather than elected. In 1900, the reigning Rih Ruaridh Suthar-Màrtainn attempted to ignore the clause entirely, and when clamor for it by the popular movements of the time grew to a fever pitch, he unilaterally amended the constitution to simply remove the provision from the document. This kicked off a major constitutional crisis until he yielded on the issue in the winter of 1905.
However, he did little to initiate the creation of a voting system or registry, and immediately began appointing new, loyal Vicars to those seats which had most fervently clamored for reform. In response, the majority of the remaining Vicars who had pushed the reform through demanded a further concession that their seats in particular be not only exempt from the reform, but that they be tied directly to their bloodlines again to ensure their families did not lose their own seats due to the large wave of anti-monarchy sentiment welling up into the landed middle class by that point.
===Republicanism and Socialism, Fourth Kin War and Industrial Reform===
In addition, numerous other issues such as the loss of the [[Royal Vicariates of Fhainnlannachaeran|New Aenglia Vicariate]] to [[Fiannria]] in the [[Fhainn-Fiann Kin Wars|Fourth Kin War]] in 1887, along with a general disinterest by the Throne in regards to regulating business practices or labor safety standards, created a great deal of unrest across large parts of the country, in particular the lower class. These tied in heavily with the exponential growth of populist political movements, namely the [[Political Parties of Faneria#Central Republican Party|Fhainnin New Century Republicans]] under [[Callac Cananach]], and the smaller but more militant [[Political Parties of Faneria#Popular Party|Fhainnin Popular Party]], the largest Socialist/Communist party within Fhainnlannachaeran at the time.
At the same time as the Vicariates were demanding alterations to the constitutional reform of 1905, the New Century Republicans and Fhainnin Popular Party jointly began to set up electoral processes independent of the government's auspices, technically committing treason. The justification being that the government refused to actually set up an electoral system, the Republicans additionally formally demanded the creation of a popularly-elected senate with the sovereign power to levy taxes and control spending, which outraged the Royal Court and lead directly to the [[Throneswatch]] being ordered to kill Socialist and Republican ringleaders.

''By December of 1906, numerous elements of the Army had defected from the Royalists, and an attempt to take Teindún by the Throneswatch and loyalist troops was rebuffed by armed veterans and mutineers. The Vicar of Vrael was killed by Royalist toops for treason, but the Vicar of Connsmonann declared open support for the Republicans, followed shortly by the newly elected Vicar of Srathlann, who campaigned as a Republican and barely avoided assassination, which he blamed on the Throneswatch. Further compounding the situation was the new King's refusal to rule; Wynnys-Màrtainn, seeing the situation and perhaps having had republican leanings himself, fled his palace and met with the general of the 6th Army, another Màrtainn descendant named [[Jonah Lohr-Màrtainn]]. Lohr-Màrtainn agreed to defect to the National Republicans, bringing most of his army with him and contributing to a significant collapse in Royalist morale as nearly the entire Màrtainn tree was either too distant to clearly distinguish inheritance, dead, or, in the case of its most prominent members, had simply defected to the Republicans out of fear for their lives or actual support.''

The Navy, which had largely sided with the Royalists, was forced to split between defecting to other nations or, more commonly, surrendering themselves. At this point the war was effectively decided barring a major change in the balance of power, but fighting continued in the eastern Basin for well over a year, as well as in the north, where a joint Royalist-Nationalist effort put down a secession attempt by the Vicar of [[Lyukquar]]. [[Rihsport]] fell to the NRP in May 1907, effectively ending Royalist resistance in western Faneria as the 3rd Veterans Corps rolled those who did not surrender up to New [[Kurikila]], forcing a surrender after a short siege. Immigrant communities and Republican partisans in [[Srathlann]] prevented the remaining Royalists from receiving foreign support, and by October, the only considerable Royalist forces remaining were retreating for the Fiannrian border, holding out in the northeastern reaches, or pocketed and slowly being strangled within the Deamhainn mountains.''- sides organize

The Fhainnin Civil War was a multi-party civil conflict which took place within the Kingdom of Fhainnlannachaeran from 1906-1909 mainly between the Republicans, lead by Callac Cananach's faction, and the monarchy of Fhainnlannachaeran, largely under the umbrella of the Volunteer Armies for the Restoration of the Throne and the Royal Army of the Fhainn. It was sparked by a series of poor rulers, a disastrous defeat in the 1987-88 Fourth Kin War, which was expected to be an easy victory, subsequent crackdowns on speech and association, and the refusal of the monarchy to extend the voting franchise for Vicars - local governors - to all landed men rather than only nobility.
