Jungle Republic (World War Two Dark Axis Ending.).

The **Jungle Republic** or **Jungle Nation** is a Democratic Authoritarian state located in central South America. It's story began in 1899, when Colonel Emilio Vizcarra proclaimed the Republic. In actual history, this revolt was crushed in 1900 with the Colonel's death in Moyobamba, yet, in the World War Two Dark Axis Ending, the revolt persists until 1913, when the Peruvian Army finally begins the Siege of Moyobamba, a bloody, costly engagement in which the Peruvian forces were eventually forced to retreat, giving up their gains against the Republicans of the Jungle. Following this, the Peruvian Government refused to continue any activities against the Jungle Republic, and ignored them completely. In 1917, the Peruvians resumed their advances after restoring their military's power, when World War One broke out in the Americas. The Jungle Republic was eventually forced out of its Capital, Moyobamba, and began a full-scale guerrilla war in the harsh terrain around the Peruvian-occupied cities. The Insurgency of the Amazon spilled deep into Brazilian territory, forcing a joint Peruvian-Brazilian Campaign in 1922.

The people, instead of disapproving the Colonel's harsh leadership (Via his militia's transgressions; The reason for his assassination.), as they did in actuality, instead throw in their support for him, and fought ferociously for their new leader, as they view his leadership as both necessary and vital for the preservation of the "*Amazi State*", a totally fictitious idea spawned by the Colonel-Dictator which posits a Hispanic-ruled Amazonian Empire, enforced by a temporary wartime emergency dictatorship, like that of Rome or others. The idea of the Amazi State also thinks of war against Peru to be absolutely vital for its own "State Survival", the concept of the Nation's preservation as an independent entity. As per the historic state, conscription introduces the concept of the Army to boys and men ages 14 to 20, this Conscription Act, however, as per the idea of "State Survival", applies only in times of war, emergency, or preparation for either one of the two or both.

## Peruvian Actions Against the Jungle Republic in Response to the Independence Proclamation and Early History.

The Jungle Republic's history does not deviate from actual history until the beginning of the Peruvian Campaign against the Loretans, with the only exception being the widespread acceptance of Colonel Emilio Vizcarra and his propaganda, gradually radicalizing the population against Peru and Brazil at large.

When the Peruvian's did invade following the outbreak of hostilities with the Proclamation of Independence, they, instead of sending the small force they did i our timeline, threw 10 Regiments of Infantry and 2 Cavalry Battalions complete with artillery in close support, headed by the historical commander of the expedition, Colonel Teobaldo Gutiérrez. This over-the-top reaction only reinvigorated Loretan resistance to the perceived "Tyranny of Lime".

This campaign would only continue to go poorly for the Peruvians, with Columbia and Venezuela secretly supporting the Rebels of the Amazon, as they knew them. This campaign quickly devolved into raids and insurgent-like fighting, demoralizing the Peruvian forces and gradually weakening them. By August the 22nf, 1913, Peruvian forces had finally cut through enough of the Loretan's positions to begin Operation Velvet Veil, the attack on the Loretan Capital of Moyobamba. This offensive ended in a bloody and costly disaster for Peru, with 26,415 men killed for their side, and a mere 12,616 Loretans dead.

In 1910, the Loretans invaded part of Western Brazil, forcing a Brazilian response that pushed them back over the border, but did not pursue the invaders.

Following their defeat in 1913, the Peruvian Government simply avoided interacting with the Loretans, and only returned to the area in 1917, as they focused on other matters, including increasing the Army's effectiveness and size, to say nothing of the newly introduced Armored Cars and modern Howitzers, now accompanied by Dreadnaught Warships and Airplanes. The "New Campaign in the Jungle", as this expedition was called (A.K.A., "Operation Jericho-Warship", began on August 1rst, 1917, with a Biplane bombing of Loretan positions. The bombings were soon accompanied by artillery fire shelling the Loretans on the 6th, and then stopping at around midday on the 13th, when Cavalry and Infantry began a General Offensive into Loretan territory.

The Loretans, desperate to halt the enemy's advance, deployed. all sorts of guerrilla warfare tactics, including ambushes and night raids, which gradually turned the tide of battle in favor of the Loretans, and, along with Columbian and Venezuelan assistance, the Loretan counterattack successfully stopped the enemy advance, just outside of Moyobamba.
