Second Texas Revolution

The Second Texas Revolution was a rebellion of the citizens of Texas in armed resistance to the United States. The war took place shortly after the 2024 election, with the state government of Texas declaring independence from the United States on November 7, 2024. The war was the first involving the United States on its own land since the Battle of Wounded Knee in 1890. The war resulted in intense fighting in the eastern and northern portions of the state, with major losses for both sides. After a long war, the U.S. surrendered at the Battle of Hemphill on December 23, 2026. As a result, the Treaty of Lafayette allowed Texas to become an independent nation, fully recognized by the UN and all NATO members.

===Texan Declaration of Independence===
Following the results of the 2024 U.S. election, the state government of Texas decided that it would be best for the state to become independent. As a result of a previous case taken to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1869, it was ruled that states could not secede from the United States. Thus, following planning since 2023 for an illegal independence referendum which took place that year, the Texas state government chose to write a declaration of independence. This document was written similarly to the U.S. Declaration of Independence, listing grievances on the U.S. including issues regarding the 2020 U.S. election, the Texas v. Pennsylvania case of 2020, influence of California, and restrictions on oil and gas production. This document was released to the public and U.S. government at midnight (CDT) on November 7, 2024. As a result, these grievances listed were followed by a declaration of war by the Texas militia, which had 780,000 total personnel at the time, much of which had enlisted in the weeks and months prior to the revolution. 
===2024 U.S. invasion of Texas===
Within minutes of the Texas Declaration of Independence on November 7, 2024, U.S. military units began a full-scale invasion. A large amount of tanks and armed vehicles were seen crossing the border into Texas near Texarkana at roughly 1:30 a.m. local time.
