Texas Insurgency

The Texas Insurgency, also known as the Second Texas Revolution, was an insurgent movement in the State of Texas within the United States of America (USA). It was led by the Hispanic Marxist Movement (HMM), a Marxist-Leninist movement in Texas that wanted to create a socialist state. The insurgency began on 7 January 2024 with the Battle of Webb and ended on 9 February 2025 with a United States surrender. Following the end of the war, the People's Republic of Texas was recognized as independent by the majority of countries in the world, but not by the US.

=== American Socialist Opposition Movement ===
Main article: American Socialist Opposition Movement
The American Socialist Opposition Movement began in late 2022 following the murder of fifteen Black people in the United States by police officers in one week. The Communist Party of the United States (CPUSA), Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL), Black Lives Matter (BLM), Green Party of the United States, and other groups united under this opposition protest movement. This led to the Hispanic communities of Texas (Tejanos) founding the Hispanic Marxist Movement. Meanwhile, the Communist Party of Texas (CPT), the CPUSA's Texas wing, began stepping up activities and gaining many more members among both Tejanos and non-Hispanic Texans.
=== Rise of socialism in Texas ===
With the HMM and CPT both stepping up and increasing their activities, more and more socialist protests began to appear across Texas. The CPUSA and PSL began new presidential campaigns in 2023 for the 2024 election and rallied support in the areas of Texas along the Mexican border. Due to this, the Texan state government began arresting socialists just for being socialist and arrested them for 'sedition' and 'treason'. With this, a riot occured on 23 December 2023 in which twenty thousand Texan socialist rallied in Houston. An hour later, US police forces in the area attacked and arrested the rioters. The HMM, CPT, CPUSA, PSL, GPUSA, BLM, and even Bernie Sanders supporters declared the arrests unlawful and a violation of human rights. On 2 January 2022, the HMM and CPT announced the Coalition for Texan Socialism. However, the coalition leaders were assassinated on 5 January 2022 and the coalition was dissolved. On 6 January 2022, five hundred Marxist-Leninists were arrested. With this, another huge protest errupted in Houston late in the day. The majority of the protesters were killed by police officers and the rest arrested. HMM announced that they would take a stand the next day.
== Timeline ==
=== January 2024 ===
* Battle of Webb: On 7 January 2024, HMM forces ambushed and attacked armed US police forces in Webb County, Texas. The HMM members overwhelmed the police officers and 'arrested' them for their crimes against minorities. Webb County became the new base for operations of the HMM.
* On 8 January 2024, the HMM declared a guerrilla insurgency against the United States.
* On 9 January 2024, the US FBI declared all HMM and CPT members "traitors worth of execution", sending a million United States military forces and deploying the Texas Army National Guard all across Texas.
* On 10 January 2024, the CPT announced they were going to be supporting the HMM insurgency.
* Battle of Dimmit: On 11 January 2024, HMM and CPT members entered Dimmit County and ambushed the US military forces in the county. The United States swiftly withdrew from the county and formed a line of thousands of soldiers to the north of Dimmit.
* El Paso Uprising: On 12 January 2024, several thousand members of the HMM and CPT successfully revolted and took control of El Paso County in Texas. They successfully captured a few hundred American soldiers.
* On 13 January 2024, the United Nations (UN) declared the United States' reponse to the rebellion was 'inadequate, uncalled for, and only escalating the situation', then asking for the US to seek diplomatic talks and withdraw military forces from Texas. The United States ignored the UN's statements and withdrew diplomats from Cuba.
* On 14 January 2024, Cuba responded to the US's diplomatic withdrawal by attempting to negotiate with the US and act as a mediator between the US and Texan communists. The US blamed Cuba of legitimizing the Texan insurgents, threatening to assassinate the Cuban President. Following this, Cuba began secretly supplying the HMM and CPT.
* On 15 January 2024, the US signed a public statement declaring all HMM and CPT members to be terrorists.
== Aftermath ==
=== Treaty of Atlanta ===
On 3 March 2025, delegates from the People's Republic of Texas and the United States of America met in the city of Atlanta and drew up a treaty. The Treaty of Atlanta was signed and ratified on 7 April 2025. The United States agreed to withdraw all forces from Texas. Meanwhile, the People's Republic of Texas agreed not to interfere in future political or internal conflicts in the US. The US also agreed to recognize the People's Republic of Texas an independent and sovereign state, however the United States did not follow through on this and instead called the area the 'temporarily non-governored territory of Texas'.
=== Texan-American Border Conflict ===
Main article: Texan-American Border Conflict
Following the Treaty of Atlanta, the US and People's Republic of Texas continued to clash along the border of the former State of Texas. They clashed over the border regions as the two countries disagreed on where the post-insurgency borders belonged. With this, the US attempted several invasions on northeastern Texas and launched several military attacks on Texan military outposts.
