Secularist Revolt

The Secularist Revolt, also known colloquially as "The Insurrection," the "Civil War," and in Teutonic as "Der Albtraum Sommer" (Anglic: "The Nightmare Summer"), was a nationwide revolution against the Republic of Lestykhol. The conflict lasted from June 6th to November 14th, 1966. It began over civil resistance against perceived corruption, increasing influence of the Svogda Patriarchate and human rights concerns. Contrary to popular belief, the term "Secularist" was never officially used by rebels, but is instead a colloquialism coined many years later. The conflict did not begin violently, but as student protests. Failure to raise awareness through peaceful means and the overall leaderless nature would spur more violent actions such as riots and eventually full scale rebellion.
