### Background

The Grand Republic of Waritania had oppressed the Laupan people from the death of Waritania's first President, Vibenot Sauv. It continued like this until the Waritan President Nel Travibron, promised the Laupans equality under his leadership. He got elected in 1919 but only 2 months into his term, he got assassinated by the Yuran nationalist Vas Augusto, saying '*Nel was a threat to Waritan security, why would you train a barbarian how to rebel?*' he was quickly put on trial, was found guilty on assassination charges and was sentenced to death. Nel's successor was the nationalistic Erani Orant, when he was asked if he was going to keep Nel's promise of giving the Laupan people equal rights, he said '*this is an insult to all of us hardworking Yurani people, why should I grant the lazy, rebellious and greedy the same rights as a pure Yurani?*' this was seen as a betrayal by the Laupan people, who looked for outside helpers for funds and weapons. They first asked the Fracians for help, which was quickly denied, but then they asked the Moyoni King for money and supplies, which he accepted, sending a bunch of Moyoni weapons to help the Laupan struggle against the Yurani regime. But as much help as they got, they weren't able to launch a rebellion as Erani ordered 5,000 troops to be stationed in most towns and cities of eastern Waritania. And so most rebels hid in the mountains of south-eastern Waritania, where they would easily get supplies from the Moyoni government. The war itself begun when 6 Moyoni soldiers were abducted by the Waritan government for alleged connection to '*Laupan Terrorism*'. When negotiations broke down between the 2 nations, Moyonas severed all diplomatic relations with Waritania and declared war, beginning what we know as the Waritan-Moyonasi war.

### War

The first battle between Moyoni and Waritan forces was at the Warifim Mountains where, on February 15, General Palom Lione managed to defeat the Waritan troops with the help of the Laupan Resistance Movement. From there he continued advancing into the barely-defended mountains and capturing much of southeastern Waritania. Meanwhile General Berdole Janv also defeated the Waritans in the plains of Bastedol. They were both ordered by Louje II to advance a bit and start connecting the captured territories to each other as to encircle the central Waritan troops. On May 1920, the Laupan rebellion begun, with the Laupan Resistance Movement and the Laupan National Militia merging into one group called the Laupan Resistance Army. By August of 1920, Palom and Berdole managed to encircle the central army of Waritania and to capture almost all of the Warifim Mountains. On January 26 1921, General Palom managed to yet again defeat the Waritanians and captured the rest of the Waritan-controlled Warifim Mountains and some plains in the south. At this point, the Waritan morale was low, Erani was very unpopular, and the Laupan rebellion managed to push the Waritans out of Laupa's major city of Repoli. Soon after the defeat in Repoli, the soldiers at the Waritan army were simply refusing to fight, which led to the rebels and Moyoni soldiers to continute to push and liberate Laupan territories. On April 24 1921, Erani was deposed in a coup by the popular Adon Russo, Adon Russo was very popular among the Yurani people as he promised to end the war, and so he did. On May 23 1921, the treaty of Repoli was signed, ending the war and dissolving the Grand Republic of Waritania.
