Oriental Wars

The term "**Oriental Wars**" refers to a series of wars in East and Southeast Asia after World War II, the majority (but not all) of which were fought between communist and anti-communist forces. They are:

* Japan, Quelpart, and Jinhyung
	+ The Rebellion of the Three Banners (1950-1952), where the Atsu Leagues, the Daitan Revolutionary Corps, and the Shunreng Peoples' Movement, and later Fusan, rebelled against the State of Chosun (a short lived successor to the United States Military Government of Chosun, which was immediately dissolved when the rebellion started). The revolutionary groups succeeded
	+ The Jinyhung Conflict (1953-1970), low-level border clashes and military incidents between Atsu, Daitan, Shunreng, and Fusan (primarily the latter three).
	+ The Japanese Civil War (1951-1954) between the Japanese Communist Party and the Republic of Japan, which resulted in a communist victory
	+ The Donghai War (1972) between Quelpart and the Republic of Japan, which resulted in a Quelpartian victory
* Vietnam
	+ The Vietnam War (1955) between North Vietnam and South Vietnam, which ended in a Northern Vietnamese victory following a US withdrawal due to the Malayan-Indonesian War
* Indonesia and Malaya
	+ The First Indonesian Rebellions (1955-1965) between the communist-aligned Republic of Indonesia and the US-backed (but not necessarily anti-communist) Revolutionary Government of the Republic of Indonesia (PRRI; the precursor to the Republic of Sumatra), South Maluku, and Permesta (the precursor to Minahasa); all three rebellions would not be resolved by the time of the outbreak of the Indonesian Civil War
	+ The Malayan-Indonesian War (1963-1965) between the Federation of Malaya and the Republic of Indonesia, which ended inconclusively due to the outbreak of the civil war
	+ The Indonesian Civil War (1965-1975) between the People's Republic of Indonesia (that had seized power in the 1965 Indonesian coup d'etat) and the Front to Restore Order in Indonesia (DMKI), which ended in the Treaty of Brisbane that partitioned the country
		- The Second Indonesian Rebellions (1965-1975) between the aforementioned PRRI (which had become Sumatra), South Maluku, and Permesta (which had become Minahasa), as well as Aceh;
		- The First Kalimantan War (1966-1969) between the Federation of Malaya and the People's Republic of Indonesia, which ended in a communist Indonesian victory due to the outbreak of the Malayan Civil War (see below)
		- The Malayan Civil War (1968-1969) between the Federation of Malaya and the Malaysian Communist Party, which ended in a communist victory and the establishment of the People's Republic of Malaya
		- The Second Kalimantan War (1970-1975) between the People's Republic of Indonesia and Brunei, which ended in a Bruneian victory
* Malaysia
	+ The Malaysian Civil War (1953?-1970?) between the Republic of Malaysia and the Pan-Philippine People's Army (PPPA), a communist rebel group.
	+ The Mindanaoan Civil War (1953?-1970?) between the Republic of Mindanao, the PPPA, and Tahrir (an Islamist and nationalist group). Both the PPPA and Tahrir briefly controlled nearly the entirety of the island
	+ The Sulu War (1953?-1970?) between the Sultanate of Sulu, the Republic of Mindanao, and the People's Republic of Indonesia. Sometimes folded into the Second Kalimantan War above, as Sulu allied with Brunei and divided Kalimantan between themselves. Ended with a Suluan victory.
