Dogeish Revolution

The Dogeish Revolutionary War (May 7, 1769 - May 7, 1773), also known as the Dogger Rebellion or Dogeish War of Independence, was the military conflict of the Dogeish Revolution in which Dogger and Caninian rebel forces under Dogeth and Dogespierre's command defeated both, the British and the Dutch, establishing and securing the independence of Dogeland. 
== Background ==
Fighting began on May 7, 1769, at the Battles of Green Hill and Cheemstown. The war was formalized and intensified following the Free Dogeandicate Movement on March 18, 1742, which asserted that all Dogeandicate's countries would ally to "...fight Europe's forces." The Declaration of Independence, drafted by the Committee of Nine Colonies on April 29, 1768, written primarily by Dogespierre which would land his arrest in 1768. 
During the early stages of the war, Dogger and Caninian rebel forces, whom were called Littorians - deriven from Dogeland's older names: Dogger Littoral; were supported by the Dutch Empire, Irish volunteers and the Free Dogeandicate Movement, which allied Dogeland with rebels from Catland, the Kingdom of Felinia, and Shiberland. The British were supported by Yosheek soldiers from Catland, and Loyalists. The conflict was fought in Dogeland, present-day Dogestan, the Gromboners Sea, and the North Mammalian Ocean.
During the later stages of the war, a weakened British army would prompt the Dutch Empire to take advantage of Littorians and other rebels, attempting to take Dogeland for their own. Therefore, the Dutch Empire basically declared war on Dogeish soldiers, inevitably betraying them. By the end of the war, a weakened Britain, now facing issues in other colonies such as those in North America, surrenders to the Littorians, signing the declaration of independence from British rule. British colonies in Dogeland disintegrate, forming early stages of present-day eastern Dogeish states. The Dutch Empire facing uprisings in their own colonies in the Dogeandicate (such as Catland) also surrender to the Littorian forces, Dutch colonies disband, forming early stages of present-day western Dogeish states. Irish mercenaries and other European rebels who sided with Doggers and Caninians kept fighting alongside the cause to free Dogeland from European oppression and control. Native Yosheek people faced discrimination by their British peers and began their own revolts against them during and after the Dogeish War of Independence. 
== Aftermath ==
Dogespierre expressed astonishment that the Dogeish had won a war against two imperial world powers. The conflict between British subjects with the Crown and the Dutch Empire against those with the Littorians and other freedom-fighters had lasted over four years from 1769 to 1773. The last uniformed British and Dutch troops departed from their last North Coast port cities in Settler's Cove, Caninstad (not to be confused with Caniniastad) , and Kalensvale, by November 11, 1773.
That marked the end of British and Dutch occupation in Dogeland.
== Casualties ==
The total loss of life throughout the conflict is largely unknown. As was typical wars of the era, diseases such as smallpox claimed more lives than battle for humans, killing an estimated 85,300 among all its population during the conflict. 
Up to 40,000 Littorians and 23,000 other Dogeish rebels died during active military service. Of these, approximately 18,000 were killed in battle, while at least 22,000 died from various diseases. The majority of the latter died while prisoners of war of the British and Dutch, mostly in the prison ships in Kalensvale Harbour and Settler's Cove. The number of seriously wounded or disabled by the war has been estimated from 12,000 to 30,000.
The Dutch suffered 7,400 killed in combat in Dogeland. Kattish loyalists to the Dutch lost a total of 600 killed and 1200 wounded in present-day Quenchtown.
The British suffered approximately 10,000 Army deaths. 6,500 were taken prisoners of war by rebels, 3,000 were killed/executed. 500-900 Yosheek soldiers died in British service in addition to 200-300 deserters; of the former, it is estimated 700 died in combat.
