## History

### Sentopolis Militias

Before 1904, Johninian Socialism was the mainstream socialist ideology in Helinska. However, after the Cataclysm and the collapse of the Socialist Republic of John, socialism began to diversify in eastern Helinska. The establishment of the Lespian Supremacist Principality of Novo Gavia led to resistance against it by native Kokinans, with the works and speeches of Spiro Floros greatly influencing Kokinan resistance. The largest resistance group was the Sentopolis Militias, consisting of mostly working class Kokinans of Sentopolis. They were led by Markos Siantos, Iakovos Siantos, Aris Mantakas and Stefanos Svolos, who were veterans of resistance movements against the Ionian dictatorship and HMOFS-Polmarian occupation, and were experienced in guerilla warfare. Siantos, who had been to the Treaty of Tradition, envisioned a socialist state based on the success of the Johninian system, yet at the same time without the near hive-mind society of the SRJ. The Airolian Quirin Luitger Bach, who had accompanied the Sentopolis Militias since 1915, stated the following in 1925: "Kokinan socialism was formed from a mix of Johninian Socialism, the Ionian revolutionary spirit, and Kokinan self-determination"

### Retgard

By 1917, the Sentopolis Militias had began on a "long march" from their original areas of activity along the Lakonia River to the western savannas west of the Iordanou River. After arriving in Retgard, local anti-Novo Gavian guerillas joined their ranks, which included Andreas Vafiadis and Manolis Tzimas from Retgard, and Alexandros Sarafis from Limni. These 7 men would become the Old Guard leaders of the KSWP. In the west, the Sentopolis Militias continued waging guerilla warfare against Novo Gavia, gaining popularity among the locals. As more than half of the guerillas were no longer from Sentopolis, the organization was renamed into the "People's Liberation Army of Kokinos" (PLAR) in 1923. At the same time, the KSWP was officially established in Johanopolis, with Markos Siantos as the first General Secretary.

### Novo Gavian Bush War

At the outbreak of the Novo Gavian Bush War, the KSWP, like the rest of the war, was largely unheard of by the outside world. Iakovos Siantos was killed in combat while leading an assault on a Novo Gavian convoy outside of Enotilopolis, but that did not stop the advance of the PLAR. Things changed in 1926, during the Great Eastern Expedition where the PLAR, under the command of Aris Mantakas, swiftly captured large swaths of Novo Gavian territory, including the capital New Granfel, and proclaimed the establishment of the Socialist Republic of Kokinos. The turning point brought international attention to the Bush War, and immediately, concerns over human rights in the SRK. International condemnation of the SRK's retaliation towards Lespian settlers in Kokinan territory, which the KSWP believes is justified, ultimately led to the The Interventions
