Białemorze Conflict
As the Kingdom of Gradinska, a monarchy bordering Rovsnoska's west, fell into an economic depression in 1934 multiple communist groups began gaining a large following. These groups would find massive support from the United Provinces of Rovsnoska and Zaporizhia, with many MSSC agents providing training and monetary funds to communist. On June 20, 1942 the Kingdom of Gradinska territory of Carașovia was annexed by the UPRZ. The Kingdom of Gradinska declared war, but quickly collapsed at the hands of communist revolutionaries. King Grzegorz Pawloski and much of his followers fled to the Republic of Gradinska to the west. The Gradinsk Communist Republic was declared. The fearing that they would be slowly picked off individually by communists forces, the Republic of Gradinska and Kingdom of St. Vilmos formed a federation, which also forcedly included the exiled Kingdom of Gradinska. The newly formed Federation of Gradinska would be able to withstand the communist attacks, but still had an extremely difficult time at organising and raising their armies. By early 1943 the communist forces had been gaining massive traction, until November of 1943 when the popular political figure Andre Marchotov was assassinated, leading to riots and the declaration of martial law. Massive military failures and domestic anarchy brought the UPRZ out of the Białemorze Conflict, leaving the Communist Republic to collapse.

Gradinskan War (1996-2001)
The Gradinskan War was a military conflict in which the Federation of Gradinska attempted to annex the white sea panhandle of Samotkhe, an area with a large Gradinskan minority. In Febuary 1996, the Gradinskan leader invaded the Tsivi Maghalmtianebi province of Samotkhe. Initially, the invasion was successful, with most of the panhandle under Gradinskan occupation. However, when they reached the Tovlis Mountains, the transport of supplies and mechanized troops became exceedingly difficult.
