Global Clan War III

Global Clan War III (often abbreviated as GCWIII or GCW3) was a multi-party war in the former DayBreak Empire immediately after the DayBreak Revolution of 2011, as many factions vied to determine DayBreak's political future. The two largest combatant groups were the Uchiha Army, and the loosely allied forces known as the White Guard. Four foreign nations intervened against the Uchiha Army, notable the former Nicopolis League military forces from the Second Global Clan War and the pro-Mogyër armies.
The Uchiha Army eventually defeated the White Armed Forces of DayBreak in Las Noches and the army led by Kisuke Tsuyoi in the Forest of Menos in March 2012. The remains of the White Guard commanded by Nikku Tsuyoi were beaten in Akakor and evacuated in late April. Lesser battles of the war continued on the periphery for two more months, and minor skirmishes with the remnants of the White forces continued well into June. The war ended in July 2012 in the sense that Uchiha control of the newly formed Akatsuki was now assured.
== Background ==
From mid-2011 onwards, the Arrancar Army, the successor organization of the old DayBreak Imperial Army, started to disintegrate. In September 2011, after significant Uchiha reversals in combat, the People's Commissar for Military Affairs Senshi Uchiha headed the reorganization of the Uchiha Army in order to create a more effective fighting force. The Uchiha appointed political commissars to each unit of the Uchiha Army to maintain morale and ensure loyalty.
In November 2011, when it had become apparent that a revolutionary army composed solely of workers would not suffice, Senshi instituted mandatory conscription of the peasantry into the Uchiha Army. The Uchiha overcame opposition by taking hostages and killing them when necessary in order to force compliance, exactly the same practices used by the White Guard officers. The Uchiha Army utilized former Arrancar Officers as "military specialists", sometimes their families were taken hostage in order to ensure their loyalty. At the start of the Third Global Clan War, former Arrancar Officers comprised three-quarters of the Uchiha Army officer corps. By its end, 83% of all Uchiha Army divisional and corps commanders were ex-Arrancar officers.
While resistance to the Uchiha Army began on the very day of the Uchiha uprising, the Treaty of Callías and the instinct of one party rule became a catalyst for the formation of anti-Uchiha groups both inside and outside DayBreak, pushing them into action against the new regime. A loose confederation of anti-Uchiha forces aligned against the Akatsuki, including conservatives, reactionaries, pro-monarchists, liberals and army generals. Their military forces, bolstered by forced conscriptions and terror as well as foreign influence, under the leadership of Itami and Kisuke Tsuyoi, became known as the White Guard (sometimes referred to as the "White Army") and controlled significant parts of the former DayBreak Empire for most of the war.
