Ancient Besplatvlok Isolationist Uprisings

## Introduction

The **Ancient Besplatvlok Isolationist uprisings**, also called the **Grand Isolationist Uprisings** was initiated in **438 BDE** by **multiple uprisings against a governing power in different Besplatvlok states**. At first the **riots** and **uprisings did not trigger any aggressive response from the different government**. However, as the uprisings continued, the **violence gradually escalated**. The uprisings would later **end with the application of government reforms in a few ancient Besplatvlok states**.

## Background

The **introduction of trading and merchandising** in the region in **450 BDE** **created a contradictory feeling among the people of the time**. The combination of a **culture centered on strong isolation**, which had been followed and became a common way of thinking over the centuries, and the **strengthening of a national identity** caused many people to distrust their government and adhere to their more traditional and cultural ways. The first signs of this new movement were **riots in cities** and **rallies on the subject**, which drew large crowds at the time. Many states were dealing with the issue. However, in some states, **the case was far less serious**. Many factors influence this, the most important of which is the **abrupt change in tradition and way of life**. As many states **used their armies to quell uprisings or slowed the transition to trade reliability**, few would act or would be too afraid to, causing the movements to grow slowly and gradually.

Although the initial movement began in **441 BDE**, the first armed resistance soldiers appeared in **338 BDE**. In certain cases, such as the Myakian one, they would occupy many undefended cities **in a few months**. Taking place on several fronts and against multiple enemies, **two structured "groups" would be formed**, with no ties recognizably formed to one another. The first group was the southern one, meaning the rebellion occurred in **Netvi**, **Ariwo** and **Nopsik**; the other would likewise join the rebelling armed forces but this time in the north, in **Myaka** and **Agriom**. The three southern nations, Netvi, Ariwo, and Nopsik, **formed an alliance**, but the two northern nations, Myaka and Agriom, did not. The matter would shortly be deemed significant in the included countries, and **trade and relations** with them would be temporarily halted as other states feared the rebellious principles would spread.

## History

### 438 - 427 BDE

The rebels in Agriom would be gradually but steadily eliminated as the generals of the period adopted a counter-initiative approach to dealing with the insurgents. The Agriom territories where the uprisings took place would thereafter be **protected by army patrols in the coming years**, as Agriom would be regarded out of the battle. Myaka possessed significant rebel troops in **the Skihk annexed areas**, which had witnessed few revolts against Myakian control, necessitating the regular deployment of forces in the region to maintain security. This was important because the primary rebelling troops were in Skihk, where the **armed forces were able to put an end to the revolts.**

Eventually, the **anti-Myakian rebels would join the isolationist forces** in the hope of finally winning and gaining something. The Myakian forces would be ordered to take **defensive positions in the Skihk region**, allowing the rest of the army to deal with the other rebellious forces and focus on this front later. Meanwhile, the southern coalition would try to quickly put down the revolts, **but had seen little success**, with more people siding with the isolationists. This would instill great terror in other states where the beliefs were popular, and they would thus **join the southern coalition to put an end to the isolationist movements**.

### 427 - 412 BDE

With larger forces, the revolting forces on the frontiers were now **flanked by the new approaching army**, resulting in the **uprising's defeat on those fronts**. In the ensuing years, the now-outnumbering army would **expel the dispersed insurgents**. **Isolationist militias would continue to weaken the major forces**, disorganizing and gradually weakening them, causing operations on the resisting pockets to **go slowly but eventually result in the nation's victory**.

In the north, Myakia would **launch a spearhead attack on one of the pocketed rebel troops**, pressing hard from all sides on the two newly formed enclaves. The northern front would later move slowly, with **only a few big battles resulting in significant advances**. After a few more years, the **rebels would capitulate after suffering heavy losses in the Battle of Meqe**.

### 412 - 397 BDE

After the devastating isolationist uprisings **ended in 412 BDE**, the ancient isolationism seen by the rebels of the Grand Isolationist Uprisings would now be considered extreme isolationism, as small reforms to calm down the remaining citizens believing in these ideals would be carried out in only a few states. The upheavals, however, would not stop and would continue a time of persistent instability for most nations, with minor uprisings and rebel armies springing up in towns, culminating in **civilian killings** and **large wars that destroyed several citie**s. The entire event would damage most nations, namely those implied in the Grand Isolationist Uprisings, and lead to a less isolationist attitude of the region itself.
