The Waldflachen Revolution
The great questions of the day will not be settled by means of speeches and majority decisions but by iron and blood.~Otto Von Bismark
It was 1926 when War broke out between the Kingdom of Waldflachen and the Republic of Azindhal. Azindhal, being only a quarter of the size of Waldflachen was expected to break under the sheer weight of the Kings Armies. Initially this was the case and the Azindhalians were forced the whole way to the Tana Mountain Range that sat almost halfway into the country. It was in the Tana Mountain Range that the tides of the war turned against the Waldflachens,
where the armor corps were destroyed or immobilized by thick slurs of mud or crushing avalanches set of with explosive charges. The Airforce couldn't keep the Infantry supplied and eventually the order to retreat was given, signaling the first tragedy of many in a long war.
For 4 years the Republic and Kingdom beat each other senseless. Hundreds of thousands of lives were lost to gain only a few miles of territory and a stalemate had long since been established. Azindhal was in ruins, it's dollars value collapsed to almost nothing and the nation was falling apart at the seams. Waldflachen faired little better and was still unable to gain an edge in the war, so came the White Peace of 1930. The Period from 1930-1940 would come to be known as the "Dark Years" among the lower classes.
The economy was in shambles and bare essentials became more scarce as the years dragged on. Farmers and factory workers were unable to get ahead as roving bands of thugs built huge extortion rings that the Police weren't strong enough to stamp out. The Value of the Waldflachen Mark had inflated drastically, where a loaf of bread could cost between 200,000 and 600,000 Marks. Hundreds of thousands were homeless, without adequate clothing for the freezing winters. Disease ran rampant due to the rising cost and relative scarcity of medicine. Communist and Liberal Party Memberships spiked drastically as people demanded change with an ever more audible voice.
In the city of Koch, 1940 a simple protest over a reduction in bread rations turned into a riot. Simultaneously other riots broke out across all of the Northern cities and for a brief period of two months chaos reigned. The government was overwhelmed and the lower classes were in control of huge swaths of territory. The King and his family had been captured just outside the Capital. Unanimously a government was formed with an election taking place only a month later. A Liberal and a Communist ran together under the slogan Unity Against Tyranny and won the Presidency and Vice Presidency. In the Southern cities the only free member of the immediate Royal Family was organizing the Governments forces against the rebellion. Prince Ivan having realized the danger of the Revolutionaries, has reached out to the governments of the world to intervene and restore the Monarchy to power and stabilize the country.
