The **Second Chinese Civil War** was a huge armed conflict between the ruling **PRC** **Chinese Communist Party** and the revolutionaries of the **Kuomintang**-led **Greater Republic of China**. The War began in 2042 when riots started in Beijing which were violently suppressed by the authorities, followed by gunfire from both sides, which later spread throughout the country, leading to a massive civil war and the establishment of the Kuomintang-led Greater Republic of China, which lasted until 2046, ending with the Second Battle of Beijing, the Beijing Accords and the Ceasefire.

## Background

### Before the war

Before the civil war, China's once booming and developing economy collapsed, crippling it completely, the country went into decline, with almost no industrial jobs and lost its international influence in the market. Thanks to huge amounts of waste and fossil fuels emitting pollutants, an environmental collapse began in the country and the air became much more polluted throughout the country. This was compounded by Communist totalitarian oppression and dictatorship, and opinion was terror and censorship, anyone who disagreed with the ideals and government of the Chinese Communist Party was declared disappeared while they were executed or taken to concentration camps. This led to a massive civil disobedience throughout China, which was replaced by constant rioting and looting in the streets, and the Chinese regime resorted to increasingly radical measures and the authorities took more violent action against the unruly masses, but proved weak and miserable and could do less and less. Secretly, anti-communist Nationalist sentiment and Kuomintang ideals were gaining strength in the country. Soon an uprising broke out in central China, demanding the establishment of a new Republic of China, supported by the Kuomingtang, which promised to liberate China from Communist dictatorship, reunify it nationally and restore the economy of Taiwan. This uprising the government tried to prevent by force of arms but failed, and the plan to invade Taiwan soon failed because of the fighting against the growing insurgency. Later, Chinese government concerns were raised after new flags were seen flying over major military and industrial cities, replacing the national flags. The most iconic new flag was that of the newly proclaimed Greater Republic of China, which prompted a military response. The military response, however, was quickly thwarted after Chinese Nationalist separatists opened fire on the Chinese president, killing more than 10 officials and 22 military guards and wounding the premier who had officially launched the war.

### The war begins

After an unsuccessful assassination attempt on the president, China began sending its military forces deep into central China, where separatists proclaimed their new state, the Greater Republic of China, led by the Kuomintang and other anti-communist anti-CCP Chinese separatist leaders. PLA ground troops expected a swift victory over the separatists, which they called "extermination" in reference to the slaughter of the rebels. However, they came under heavy fire and were immediately repelled. The government forces and troops were massacred when the Greater Republic of China's military outposts and snipers overwhelmed the government forces and immediately won their first victory. Their next attempt also failed as PLA air forces attempted to bombard Chinese breakaway state territories, but the Chinese separatists SAM Turrets pushed them back under Greater China's control and prevented bombing of major cities important to the Republic. The government forces won very few victories, the CCP party government began to collapse, and the PLA forces were greatly weakened in the war against the Greater Republic of China and the National Resistance Army, which dragged on until the peace talks and ceasefire of March 2046.
