The '''Hendalarskara Civil War''' was a six-year-long multipartite armed conflict in [[Hendalarsk]] between 1919 and 1925. Preceded by years of social and economic stagnation and rising political tensions, the war began on 3rd July 1919 with the [[Midnight Rising]], a fascist coup d'état in the capital, [[Frehmenwerth]], that was accompanied by other fascist-aligned risings across the country. The coup was not, however, a total success - the reigning Archking, [[Lothar III]] Dietrich, escaped with his son Magnus to the eastern port of [[Groß-Maximilianshafen]], where they were able to form a secure rump state far from the power centres of the west and gained the support of the [[Pentapolis|Pentapolitan cities]] through the Grand Bargain. | |||
Opting to crown the Archking's younger brother Kaspar in his place, the fascists, led by the Brotherhood of the Soil, also had to contend with Communist risings across the country. After weeks of rapid campaigning in an effort to secure cohesive territorial bases, the fascists and communists became bogged down in brutal attritional warfare in the valleys and plains between the [[Fröse]] and the [[Zalgis]] north of Frehmenwerth. This stalemate persisted until the spring of 1923, when the Communists launched the April Offensive in a bid to take Frehmenwerth but were instead decisively defeated by the Brotherhood, while Federal troops, having crushed the [[Empire of the Mother Mountains]] in late 1922, exploited the battle in the south to capture Hernemünde and Zalgisbeck. This was followed up by a rapid advance on Frehmenwerth from the east, across mountain terrain previously considered impassable, which achieved total strategic surprise and trapped the Brotherhood army advancing on Zalgisbeck in a pincer movement. Although the strategic initiative lay with Federal armies for the remainder of the war, it still took another two years of bitter fighting in the south and west for the war to conclude. Marked by sustained atrocities on all sides, the war was ruinous economically and socially for Hendalarsk and remains the deadliest conflict in the nation's history. It was also notable for extensive foreign involvement - troops from [[Yonderre]] and further afield served in a wide array of volunteer units. | Opting to crown the Archking's younger brother Kaspar in his place, the fascists, led by the Brotherhood of the Soil, also had to contend with Communist risings across the country.
