### Battles

Capture of Kartonia

The Sapphirian civil war (the name of which is still disputed, and called the "Yukrovian war" in other countries) was a catastrophic war that happened after the Second Coalition War. The war would see the long bitter Yukrovian/Lodonian communists and partisans rise up against the Sapphirian federation, later overthrowing the Ministry, and later the Provisional Government.

## Prelude

After the Treaty of Caras Sirion, the two clashing sides of the Second Coalition War were finally put at peace with one another, although eternal exhaustion in the populations of both nations would soon cause instability and uprisings in both countries.

Soon after the war, with the government no longer needing supplies for Prismarine armor and other materials for their war industry, they had unintentionally laid off hundreds of workers leading to a coal miners strike soon after the war. with high tensions between the state and it's people, a man simply known as Kim Il-Sponge had came to power in the Sapphirian Communist Secret Society, telling tales of a strange red world and technology no other man has ever spoken about. A now confident rebellion had been sparked in the Southern and Eastern districts of Kartonia.

## The War

### Battle of Kartonia

With the Sapphirian military industries being put on a backfoot after the war due to restrictions in the Treaty of Caras Sirion, the guards of the Sapphirian capital Kartonia could simply not stop the oncoming forces of the now called "Red Army'. After a short battle, a military and military withdrawal of the capital had commenced, with dozens of ships being pulled out of the city carrying hundreds of soldiers who defended the capital from the Red Army.

### White army retreat to the eastern territories

After being pushed back from the capital, the now called White army had pulled back to the territories of Fort Zulu and Sigvaldur. The outpost of Fort Zulu would switch hands numbers of times, with no side being able to push the other out.

### Military Innovations

During the war, there had been multiple military and civilian innovations made by both parties, which include but not limited to: Tanks, Heavier then air fighters, and many others.

## End of the war

### Capture of the White army

After many failed and successful offensives into Fort Zulu and the eastern territories, multiple high ranking officials of the East Sapphirian army would be captured, executed, or exiled. The white army would soon collapse after this, although resistance would continue.

### Ohelia invades the Eastern Territories

After the decisive victory on the eastern front, seeing the side they had supported since the beginning of the war go into chaos, the Empire of Ohelia would invade and occupy the eastern territories. The occupation although not well received by the international community, would go mainly unnoticed by global powers due to the ongoing international recession.

### Treaty of the Plank

The war would come to an end, with both parties signing the "Treaty of the Plank" dividing the former federation into 2 main zones, with a demilitarized zone in-between the two. This would conclude the Sapphirian Civil War.
