Shibe-Doge Wars

The Shibe-Doge War, also known as the Second Isle of Dogeic War of Independence, was a protracted conflict that occurred in the late 1970s and continued for over 17 years in the Eastern Dogeandicate region of East Shiberland, Dogeikkan republic, and Dogestan. The war initially began with a rebellion in the Isle of Dogeic Republic against the Soviet Shiberland government. In response, Shiberland declared a statewide emergency, mobilizing Shibish soldiers and conscripting civilians to suppress the uprising. 
The first major battle of the war took place when Shibish naval forces arrived at the ports of Dogeikk-Scoobscell. This marked the beginning of a series of battles that engulfed the region, involving Shiberland, Dogestan, and the Isle of Doges. The conflict intensified in 1984 when Shiberland launched an assault into Dogestan. The primary objective of the Shiberland forces was to prevent Dogestanian soldiers from supporting the Isle of Dogeic revolutionaries. Moreover, Shiberland had also strived to enlarge its borders and spread communism throughout the Dogeandicate. Hence, adding another objective in invading Dogestan.
The situation led to Dogeland's involvement in the war, as Dogestan requested assistance in defending against the Shiberland aggression. Initially, Dogeland was hesitant to intervene due to the risk of nuclear escalation, as Shiberland had threatened to employ nuclear weapons if Dogeland intervened militarily. However, as the capital of Dogestan was nearing Shibish annexation in 1987, Dogeland decided to ignore the nuclear threat and provide aid to Dogestan.
Throughout the mid-1980s, the Shibe-Doge War had devastating consequences for both soldiers and civilians caught in the conflict. The collapse of the Soviet Union and the decline of Soviet Shiberland in the early 1990s significantly impacted the morale of the federal forces in the Dogestanian portal. As a result, Shibish soldiers retreated from Dogestan in 1991, seemingly bringing an end to the war and prompting Dogestan and Dogeland to withdraw from the conflict.
However, the war for the Isle of Doge's independence continued even after the withdrawal of Shibish forces. A stalemate between the Isle of Dogeic rebels and the remaining Shibish troops was reached in 1996, with an agreement to halt the hostilities. Unfortunately, little progress was made in implementing the agreement, and the situation remained unresolved.
Recognizing the futility of the war, the Defence Minister of Shiberland acknowledged the need for a peaceful resolution. In a statement, he emphasized the loss of lives and the devastation inflicted upon the region, expressing the desire to pursue a treaty in the Isle of Doges to find a peaceful solution to the conflict.
Despite its prolonged duration and the immense human suffering it caused, the Shibe-Doge War remains a chapter in the history of the region, highlighting the complex dynamics of independence struggles and geopolitical conflicts. Efforts to achieve a lasting peace and address the grievances of the Dogeikkan people have continued beyond the formal end of the war, as stakeholders strive to find a mutually acceptable resolution.
== Casualties and Outcomes ==
=== Casualties ===
All Combatants
The official figure for Shibish military deaths is reported to be 251,875, although most estimates put the number between 300,000 and 400,000. While accurate figures for the number of Dogeikkan forces killed are not available, various estimates suggest a figure of around 93,000 casualties (from both opposing sides in the Isle of Doges). In terms of Dogeland and Dogestan, the recorded figures for military deaths in both nations are as follows: Dogestan lost 121,234 military personnel, while Dogeland recorded 23,513 military deaths.
Civilian casualties are difficult to ascertain precisely, but various estimates suggest a range of 37,000+ to 100,000+ killed and over 93,000+ injured. The conflict also resulted in the displacement of more than 500,000 people, leaving cities and villages across the republic in ruins. Additionally, the aggressive rise in violence and nationalism during the war led to a significant decrease in the non-Dogeikkan population, specifically in Krolikistan and Scoobscell.
Desertions and POWs/Executions - All Combatants
The official figures for Prisoners of War (POWs) in all belligerents exceed 400,000 individuals. Notably, there were no reported "Death Camps" as there was no intent to exterminate POWs of all nationalities. Executions were carried out only in cases of rebellion, murder within the camps, or conflicts between prisoners themselves or with guards.
Most deaths within POW camps were caused by disease, while suicide was a rare occurrence.
Concentration Camp Causes of Death
The causes of death in concentration camps included diseases such as tuberculosis, yeetititus, pneumonia, and AIDS/HIV. Executions were carried out through hanging or firing squads. Other causes of death included starvation and suicide.
==Civilian Outcomes==
Dogestanian Civilian Outcome
As a result of the conflict, approximately 700,000 Dogestanian civilians, mainly women and children, became refugees in Dogeland, while over 450,000 have since returned to their homes. More than 500,000 men of conscription age (18 to 60) were forced to remain in Dogestan to defend against aggressors.
Over 100,000 women actively contributed to the war effort, with many joining the Dogestanian Women's Legion, which had members from 43 different regions. Children under the age of 12 were evacuated to safer towns in Dogestan or Dogeland, while pre-teens and teenagers (12-17) either participated in illegal fighting or assisted in loading ammunition boxes and crates.
Isle of Dogeic Civilian Outcome
Most civilians of the Isle of Doges who remained neutral evacuated to nearby countries such as Dogeland and Dogestan. Some even migrated to Australia and New Zealand. Both pro-Shiberland and Free Isle of Doges civilians/activists felt demoralized by the end of the war.
Over 200,000 men and women volunteered in the Free Isle of Doges movement, which eventually became the Isle of Dogeic army opposing the Isle of Dogeic Loyalists (the army loyal to Shiberland). In the Winter of 1980, a clash between Pro-Shibish and Anti-Shibish protesters occurred during the Scoobscell Rebellion, which took place on the southern coastline of the Isle of Doges.
The Isle of Doges experienced a severe economic depression after its defeat to the Shibish Federation. The state remained under Shibish annexation until 2022.
Shibish Civilian Outcome
The fall of the Soviet Union tore the Socialist Alliance apart, causing significant economic downfall in the Socialist Unification of Shiberland and the Isle of Doges (SUSI). The demoralization of Shibish civilians grew as a result of the collapse of the USSR and the SUSI. Anti-war protests emerged in Shiberland's capital during the post-Socialist Shiberland battles from 1991 to 1996.
In 1992, anti-war protests were suppressed by the authorities, resulting in 990 injuries and 2 deaths. It is estimated that around 500,000 Shibish civilians volunteered or were conscripted to fight in the Isle of Doges and Dogestan. After the fall of Soviet Shiberland, more than 100,000 conscripted or volunteered men in the Shibish army deserted or feigned injuries to extricate themselves from the war.
The war had a profound and lasting impact on the civilian populations of all the involved regions. The loss of lives, displacement, economic devastation, and psychological trauma endured by both combatants and non-combatants continue to shape the social, political, and cultural landscape of the affected areas to this day.
Dogestanian Civilian Outcome
As a result of the conflict, approximately 700,000 Dogestanian civilians, mainly women and children, became refugees in Dogeland, while over 450,000 have since returned to their homes. More than 500,000 men of conscription age (18 to 60) were forced to remain in Dogestan to defend against aggressors.
Over 100,000 women actively contributed to the war effort, with many joining the Dogestanian Women's Legion, which had members from 43 different regions. Children under the age of 12 were evacuated to safer towns in Dogestan or Dogeland, while pre-teens and teenagers (12-17) either participated in illegal fighting or assisted in loading ammunition boxes and crates.
Isle of Dogeic Civilian Outcome
Most civilians of the Isle of Doges who remained neutral evacuated to nearby countries such as Dogeland and Dogestan. Some even migrated to Australia and New Zealand. Both pro-Shiberland and Free Isle of Doges civilians felt demoralized by the end of the war.
Over 200,000 men and women volunteered in the Free Isle of Doges movement, which eventually became the Isle of Dogeic army opposing the Isle of Dogeic Loyalists (the army loyal to Shiberland). In the Winter of 1980, a clash between Pro-Shibish and Anti-Shibish protesters occurred during the Scoobscell Rebellion, which took place on the southern coastline of the Isle of Doges.
The Isle of Doges experienced a severe economic depression after its defeat to the Shibish Federation. The civilians remained under Shibish annexation until 2022.
== Aftermath ==
The Shibe-Doge War left a lasting impact on the region, with significant consequences for the economies and relations between the involved nations. 
==== The Great Dogeandicate Recession ====
Following the war, the Eastern Dogeandicate experienced a severe economic downturn known as the Great Dogeandicate Recession, which lasted for a decade. Shiberland was particularly hard-hit by the recession. The withdrawal of Russian support in 1991 resulted in a shortage of essential resources, further exacerbating the economic crisis.
Shibe-Doge relations deteriorated significantly in the aftermath of the war. Dogesh companies, such as Quench, withdrew from Shibish markets, further straining economic ties between the two nations. Additionally, Dogestan implemented harsh border restrictions on Shibish citizens, further isolating the two countries and hampering trade and diplomatic relations.
==== Crisis in Shiberland ====
Shiberland faced its own internal crisis as a result of the Great Dogeandicate Recession. The economic downturn, coupled with political instability and the loss of the war, led to widespread discontent among the population. The government struggled to address the growing social and economic challenges, resulting in further unrest and political turmoil.
==== Third Isle of Dogeic War of Independence ====
The unresolved status of the Isle of Doges, which remained under Shibish control, continued to be a contentious issue. The deep-seated desire for independence among the Isle of Dogeic population persisted, ultimately leading to the outbreak of the Third Isle of Dogeic War of Independence in the late-2010s.
The Third Isle of Dogeic War was fuelled by the grievances and frustrations that remained unresolved after the previous conflict. The Isle of Doges remained a Shibish territory, sparking renewed resistance and calls for self-determination.
The consequences of the Shibe-Doge War and its aftermath continued to shape the political and social landscape of the region, leading to further conflicts and challenges as the struggle for independence in the Isle of Doges persisted.
