====Rose Revolution and Lean Years==== | |||
In response to the 1942 [[Rose Revolution]], numerous groups of GaelWind members and associates within the military and police forces escalated anti-war protests into violent clashes with the intention of supressing anti-war sentiment at home. For the first four months of protest, this method worked, but in the fifth month, a clash in [[Leighlinbridge]] escalated into the shooting of several young adults and women by counterrevolutionaries, leading to their being lynched with the tacit permission of the city's garrison. This broke the 'wall of nonviolence' shown so far by protesters, who, realizing there would be no budging from the military leadership running the government to peaceful protest, seized the government's buildings in several cities, leading to military units refusing to fire on what in many cases were their own families and forcing the abdication of the governing Director, ___________. | |||
The actions of GaelWind in fighting the Rose Revolution permanently annihilated their previously good reputation in Fhainnin politics. During the following years, the organization stoked resentment of foreign powers and used the continuing [[Culriocha Continuation War|war]] in [[Culriocha]], but its policies were seen as a direct cause of the economic downturn of postwar Faneria. As a result, the group slipped into increasing political irrelevance, becoming smaller and more radicalized throughout the late 40's and early '50s. | |||

GaelWind came into public focus in | GaelWind came into public focus in 1956 when the Hotel Bonn, a foreign-themed and run hotel in [[Sethsport]], Faneria, was targeted by a terror cell operating under the GaelWind banner. A smuggled explosive device was used to destroy a wing of the building, followed by eleven armed militiamen assaulting the hotel and firing indiscriminately. The situation was resolved with [[GERB|a counterterrorism unit]] engaging with the terrorists in a gunfight, killing eight and capturing the remaining three. Seventy-three civilians were killed in the attack, with another one hundred and twenty injured; the attack marked the lowest point in the [[Lean Years]] in Faneria and resulted in a wave of counterterrorism actions resulting in over a dozen death sentences and the banning of the group. Two minor politicians who held office under the auspices of the GaelWind Party at the time were forced to give up their public careers. | ||
