Eventually, as the war raged on, and the surprise involvement of [[Arcerion]] in the war in 1967, domestic popularity decreased for Tierradorians. The Tierrador Army advanced quite far into the Istrenyan homeland, taking around sixty-five percent of the nation. However, the [[Benta Offensive]], which took place during the Qabóri month of [[Qabóri Calendar|Benta]] in 1969 and began reducing the Tierradorian stranglehold on Istrenyan territory. This led to mass casualties on the Tierradorian side and caused domestic support for the war to dwindle. Over time, anti-war movements gained traction within Tierrador. These movements, led by the [[Tierrador Peace Alliance|TPA]], a group led by many concerned citizens, war veterans, and intellectuals, argued that the war caused ridiculously high amounts of unnecessary suffering, and that a peaceful resolution needed to be sought immediately, which were enforced by threats of violence from the TPA. The prolonged conflict also imposed a significant economic burden on Tierrador. The costs of financing the war, including funding the military, procuring weaponry, and maintaining infrastructure, began to strain the nation's economy. This led to tax hikes and reduced public spending on essential services. | Eventually, as the war raged on, and the surprise involvement of [[Arcerion]] in the war in 1967, domestic popularity decreased for Tierradorians.
