Second Kalupan Revolution

The Second Kalupan Revolution (Kalupan: Kalupi Favali Nami) is an ongoing conflict being fought between the fascist West Kalupa and the democratic East Kalupa since 1961 over control of the Kalupan archipelago. While no other countries have directly participated in the conflict, Blostia, Reuland, Rosstria, and Hebreland have all shown support for East Kalupa, and have funded the country's military efforts. The conflict has stalled due to a stalemate on all fronts, bar some naval skirmishes.
Kalupa was once a colony of Lyvena. After their departure in the late nineteenth century, Kalupa enjoyed a brief period of unity under a restored Kalupan tribal monarchy, before it was invaded by Blostia during the Great War after joining the Allied Powers. Following the war, fascist rebels overthrew and executed the monarchy, believing them to be the root of the Kalupan loss. The "Greater Kalupan Empire" was formed in 1949. In 1961, Polish and Jonathian-backed democratic rebels revolted in the eastern islands, starting the nation of East Kalupa and starting the Second Kalupan Revolution. Jonathia and Poland participated early on in the war, though Jonathia pulled out in 1966 to focus on the Corvish Civil War, and Poland pulled out in 1983 after public opinion on Polish participation went sour.
Early developments of the war were in favour of East Kalupa, due to Jonathian-Polish support. By November of 1961, East Kalupa managed to take majority control of four of the five islands, and were beginning to lay siege to the Western capital of Framboise. In early 1962, West Kalupa managed to intercept a Jonathian ship bringing weapons and supplies to East Kalupan troops. Using these supplies, West Kalupa managed to claim back some of the islands, and ended up reversing the situation one year later. Jonathia and Poland later intervened by sending in ground troops, managing to push West Kalupa away from the Eastern capital of Quallage, and creating the modern borders of both countries. After Jonathia's withdrawal, the war went into a stalemate, with the only battles being fought from then being naval skirmishes. Aerial warfare remained at a low point due to Polish and East Kalupan air dominance.
The Second Kalupan Revolution is among the most destructive conflicts of the modern era, with approximately 11.6 million war fatalities and a larger proportional civilian death toll than the Great War, the Resource War, or the Corvish Civil War. It incurred the destruction of virtually all major cities in both Kalupas, thousands of massacres by both sides, including the mass killing of tens of thousands of suspected fascists by the East Kalupan government, and the torture and starvation of prisoners of war by the West Kalupans. Additionally, several million Kalupans are estimated to have fled the country over the course of the war, creating a humanitarian crisis in many Eurapolian nations.
