Over the next two decades, riots, protests, and military demonstrations would see the Republican military deployed around Calinthia. The most famous of these incidents is the [[Christmas Civil War]] of 1931. While only lasting a single week, this conflict saw Republican military units assaulting positions of the Loyalist [[138th Calinthian Guard Division]] in the city of Milanopolis on the 21st of December. The result of the battle was 6,264 Republican soldiers killed, and 4,069 Loyalist soldiers killed, as well as the surrender of the 138th Calinthian Guard Division. This sparked public outrage at the Republican guard for having gone straight to violence against Loyalists, and refusing to negotiate. It wasn't until 1936 that the Republican military would face a much larger split in forces when Republican General [[Juna Ricola]] would take half of the military and a majority of the Navy and join the Loyalist cause. For two years the [[Calinthian Civil War]] would rage, resulting in the dissolution of the [[Republic of Calinthia]], and it's military. | Over the next two decades, riots, protests, and military demonstrations would see the Republican military deployed around Calinthia.

Furthering the issues of the Republic was the Communist uprisings on the Western territories of Calinthia by mainly Gothic Calinthians. At first the Communist Calinthians and Loyalist Calinthians would openly fight one another in many minor skirmishes in the North. However, by late 1937 the Communist Calinthians under Goering would ally themselves with the Loyalists against the Republican Guard Forces. With Communist forces in the West and Loyalists in the East, the Republican Guard quickly found themselves on the back-foot. By early 1938, Republican Guard Forces prepared a hastily built defense around Aurelia and struggled to maintain their supply lines from the port of Napolis. Constant air attacks by the superior Loyalist air force rendered many of the railroads inoperable. In addition, the mechanized Communist assaults using a tactic called "Schwerpunkt" penetrated deep into Republican Guard lines, cutting supply lines. The tactic was an adaptation of the [[Urcean]] "lightning war" tactic developed by [[Benno de Caryale]]. It was adapted and implemented by the Calinthian People's Army under the command of General Friedrich Guderian, a graduate of the [[Urcean Imperial War College]]. | |||

With the Loyalists now once more in control of the military, the Loyalist government set about large military reformations. Any Republican sentiment was outlawed, and any still loyal to the Republican government were exiled or imprisoned. This included Republican General [[Licoa Miduci]] who was exiled to [[Ardmore]] in 1941 after being imprisoned since 1938. Radical indoctrination programs were also implemented in the military and even education system. These programs would teach the value of Catholicism, as well as strength of Absolute Monarchy. Pictures of the Constatine monarch Randolph III were commonplace in both military and education installations. In addition, military hardware and technology were improved upon post [[Second Great War]]. A new uniform known as the [[M-41 Kit]] was handed out to represent the renewed loyalty to the Constatine family. The M-41 Kit also known as the Montuoso-41 Kit was the first step in standardizing Loyalist military forces. | The Calinthian Civil War resulted in the dissolution of the [[Republic of Calinthia]], and it's military.
