The **Second Peninsula War** (Spanish: **Segunda Guerra Peninsular**, Portuguese: **Segunda Guerra Peninsular**, Catalan: **Segona Guerra Peninsular**), also known as the **Iberian War** or the **LDI War** was a European conflict that lasted from late 2022 to the first day of 2023. It involved six parties: Mxgentaland, the Democratic Republic of South America (DRSA), the United Middle East (UME) and surprisingly the Lokinskos all fighting against Libertadores de Iberia (LDI) as LDI Catalonia, with the World Peace Organisation (WPO) also sending peacekeeping troops there, although their only purpose was to help civilians and create a humanitarian corridor to Aragon (Mxgentaland), France and Eurono to escape in the midst of the war.

## Causes

The cause of the Second Peninsula War is usually traced back to Mxgentaland gaining Spain and Portugal in a referendum. The Mxgentian government did not want to cause a civil war in the country, and so decided to try to include the Iberian populations into the country as much as possible, even to go as far as making Madrid a second capital of the country.

## Course of the war

### Beginning (7th November 2022 – 5th December 2022)

However, whilst in the process of properly integrating the region into the country, LDI formed, aiming to reunite the former Spanish and Portuguese empires. The terrorist organisation then proceeded to detonate 17 bombs across the crowded centres of Madrid, Barcelona and Lisbon, killing 178 people. This left Mxgentaland to dispatched 50,000 soldiers whilst them and the DRSA negotiating the Treaty of Barcelona, a treaty to end the war. Reluctantly, the LDI representatives decided to sign, bringing what most thought was the end of the war.

### Lokinskos aid announcement (9th December 2022)

On 9th December 2022, the Lokinskos, a terrorist organisation formed in Incognitan South America, now based in the DRSA, announced that it would be sending aid to LDI. This shocked the world as now, the two biggest terrorist groups were allied with each other. Because of this, the DRSA promptly signed a military pact with Mxgentaland. However, no fighting came for a few more days.

### Post-treaty war (12th December 2022 – 21st December 2022)

Only a week later, LDI broke the treaty and declared LDI Catalonia as an independent state. This new, unrecognised state decided to declare war on the Mxgentian government, bringing the two, once again into war. This new state took up the whole province of Catalonia, with Barcelona being proclaimed as the capital. The new state mobilised an army of 25,000 soldiers (most by force) to fight against an additional 100,000 troops jointly sent by Mxgentaland and the DRSA (leaving the allies with 150,000 soldiers in the peninsula).

### Death of Uzair and the Lokinskos (21st December 2022 – 29th December 2022)

On 21st December 2022, Sultan Uzair of the UME was found dead near Amman, UME, with no cause being found for days. This lead to the collapse of the country and the rise of the Middle Eastern Union (UMESR). Five days later on the 26th, CCTV footage proved that two days earlier, on midnight of the 19th, it was proved that an LDI member, possibly the leader, assassinated the Sultan.

Meanwhile, Mxgentian police in Iberia spotted an unidentified person sneaking into LDI Catalonia. After interrogation, the person reveals that they are part of the Lokinskos, and that the two terrorist organisations were against each other. In the hours following, more were spotted trying to enter the breakaway state, with an estimated amount of 750 members entering the country. The Lokinskos only puts this figure at 300.

On the 29th of that month, French authorities in Corsica detained a ship of 16, incoming from the Middle East. The police hopes to find the LDI leader on board, however he was never on board. The 16 admitted to being part of the organisation, and so were arrested.

### End of the war and the broadcast (29th December – 1st January 2023)

On the first day of 2023 (1st January), LDI interrupted all TV signals to broadcast a message. During this message, a figure, later confirmed to be the long-lost-twin of Muhammad Khoorsheed Uzair, came up and assassinated the newly-revealed leader of the organisation, Felipe Mendoza with a sword. The figure reveals himself to be Omar Aza Uzair. In the broadcast, the new Uzair pulls out Mendoza's AK-47 and shoots the entire LDI leadership, ending the LDI, along with the war. Afterwards, he burns the entire building down.
