Veikan Civil War

The Veikan Civil War was a multifaceted Civil War in the former Veikan Kingdom between government forces, the Ignatovist Communist People's Red Front (PRF) and the Democratic Democratic Action Movement (DAM) with later involvement of the League of Free Nations. Several minor factions sprung through the war but never managed to reach a major position in the conflict and were eventually defeated by the Red Front and Democratic Movement. The war began in 1972 after a series of pro-democratic riots and revolts threw the country into chaos and the Army's state of disarray allowed for the Red Front militias to take several key positions along the country's highlands. By 197X a multinational force composed of several League of Free Nations-member nations officially intervened in the war in favor of the DAM forces struggling to secure their hold over Southern Veikaia and facing a serious threat of invasion from the PRF.

The exiled Veikan Kingdom has not officially signed a peace treaty with either side, turning the Veikan Civil War into one of the longest military conflicts in history lasting over 30 years.

Background
Through the 20th century the Kingdom had suffered large amounts of dissent and an exponentially growing communist movement led by the Ignatovists with several large scale revolts rocking the country and slowly destabilizing it further. The power of the state had been already waning for at least a century and the newly ascended Oroket Bronislav II's liberal attitudes fueled the pro-democratic movement's strength and greatly increased discontent among the Veikan Old Guard; A group of high ranking military officers and important political figures that had great power in the Veikan Political System and were decidedly conservative.

In the other hand, the communist movement in Veikaia had been steadily growing since the 1940s, sometimes unhindered by an archaic military force and inefficient bureaucracy but remained somewhat contained only engaging in sporadic combat with government forces across the northern Veikan Highlands. Irakliy Petrov was chairman of the illegal Communist Party of Veikaia and the Voika Council; The head of the revolution. The man had led several Communist insurrections since his election as head in 1965.
