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.

=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.
The '''Sudmoll Island Conflicts''' is a collective name for numerous border clashes between the [[Stenza|Stenzan People's Collective]] and [[Burgundie]] over the island of [[Sudmoll]], which lies just off Stenza's coast. Although the conflicts never escalated to a full-scale war, tensions have been frequent and high around Sudmoll throughout recent history, with naval forces of both sides coming close to armed or even engaging in confrontation multiple times.


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.
==Fishery disputes (1922-1934)==
===Republicanism and Socialism, Fourth Kin War and Industrial Reform===
One of the first issues the '''Stenzan People's Collective''' faced after its independence from [[Corumm]] during the [[Stenzan Civil War]] was defending its borders from possible foreign intervention. The new country's opinion was that Sudmoll was occupied Stenzan land, and as such should end up under Stenzan control eventually. These claims were officially declared in 1924, after which Stenzan fishermen started to disregard any claim of Burgundian territorial waters around Sudmoll. Although diplomatic complaints soon arrived from Burgundie, it was not until 1928 that the Burgundians from Sudmoll replied with any sort of force. This was when Stenzan and Burgundian fishermen started fighting over fishing spots around Sudmoll. The situation remained relatively peaceful bar a handful of incidents between fishermen over the coming years, with both sides frequently objecting the presence of each other's fishermen in 'their' territorial waters.
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.
==First clashes (1934-1951)==
Tensions rose in 1934. While the [[Great War]] was kicking off and devastating other parts of the world, Stenza was neutral and had finally accumulated enough naval power to take a stance on the Sudmoll affair. After being sufficiently pressured by the fishing industry, the Stenzan Navy's '''2nd Squadron''', which at the time consisted of four destroyers and a light cruiser, set out to Sudmoll with a marine division in tow on December 13th, 1934. This force, which intended to take Sudmoll and absorb it into the collective, was initially successful in its mission. Only token Burgundian resistance was met, with only a [[List of aviso classes of the Navy of Burgundie|Chiondi class Aviso]] standing in the way of the Stenzan naval force. The Aviso was sunk during a brief naval battle, after which the Stenzan fleet steamed ahead with the intention of landing the marines.


The invasion would have meant Stenza's entry into the Great War if it were not for the alarming warning from within the Party that taking Sudmoll might mean facing the wrath of not just Burgundie, but also its allies. Stenzan military leadership was promptly ordered to cancel the assault, and the fleet returned home with Sudmoll in sight. This brief state of conflict set the stage for future clashes to follow.


=1906 Bombing=
Stenzan forces laid low for the rest of the Great War out of fear for LOTA retaliation, with the closest calls being Stenzan aircraft buzzing Burgundian and other LOTA naval vessels while the Stenzan Navy protected Stenzan fishermen in international waters. Stenzan forces became slightly more aggressive again after the Great War, with Stenzan Navy ships poking territorial waters around Sudmoll and sometimes trying to protect fishermen fishing in Burgundian waters. Most of these attempts did not return in violence however, seeing the arrival of Burgundian forces would mean a retreat of the Stenzans during these confrontations. This situation would persist until the early 1950s.

''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.''


''Despite this, Royalist forces fought against the Republicans, but increasingly lost ground, losing the western Vandarch Basin entirely by mid-March, 1907. 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 availability of Stenzan commodities lowered the cost of living in Sudmoll, which no longer had to rely on nations further away for trade.
