Cabañeras Moreno's death was a major blow to Romerist morale and brought the Papal War to a temporary stalemate.

However, Sombra Negra, in retaliation for Cabañeras Moreno's death, massacred over 25,000 civilians, mostly [[Deltinians]], in what became known as the infamous [[Denshire Massacre]].

Adolfo Alfonso Cabañeras y Moreno, 6th Duke of Cabañeras (20 October 1890 – 9 May 1944) was a Creeperian military officer who served as the Minister of Defense of Creeperopolis from 1931 to 1944. and the Minister of Intelligence of Creeperopolis from 1933 to 1944. He held the rank of Supreme Caudillo of the Creeperian Army and was one of the most important and prominent military leaders of the Catholic Imperial Restoration Council during the Creeperian Civil War.

Cabañeras Moreno was assassinated along with Field Marshal Luís Sánchez Cerro on 9 May 1944 by the Atheist Red Army.

Early and personal life

Adolfo Alfonso Cabañeras y Moreno was born to Jaime Cabañeras Zapata and María Moreno Ortega on October 10, 1890 in Nuevo Xichútepa, Xichútepa. He is the eldest of two children with is younger brother being Alfonso Cabañeras Moreno. He and his family were practicing Creeperian Catholics. He was absolutely abstemious, a habit that was strictly instilled in him by his father.

Military career

Cabañeras Moreno entered the military in 1908 when he was 18 and studied to become the next Minister of Defense like his father at the San Salvador Imperial Military Academy. In 1912, he graduated as a Colonel in the Creeperian Army. He gradually rose through the ranks and became a Field Marshal in 1930.

His father died on December 2, 1931, leaving Cabañeras Moreno to succeed his father as Minister of Defense of Creeperopolis, the most powerful position in Creeperopolis third only to the Prime Minister and the Emperor.

During his military tenure before the civil war, Cabañeras Moreno was a supporter and member of the far-right Creeperian Pro-Fatherland Front and an outspoken anti-communist.

Creeperian Civil War

Main article: Creeperian Civil War

1933–1935

Main article: Operation Desert Valley
Main article: Salvadoran Civil War

Emperor Adolfo IV died on January 2, 1933. His two sons, Romero I and Miguel VII each declared themselves as the rightful Emperor, with Romero I receiving the support of the right and Miguel VII receiving support from the left. Cabañeras Moreno sided with Romero I as he fell in line with his political beliefs.

Emperor Romero I assigned Cabañeras Moreno as the most senior officer in the Romerist Army and gave him control of the entire Army.

During the 1933, Cabañeras Moreno was tasked with driving out the Miguelists from the client state of El Salvador. His brothers were tasked with driving out the Miguelists from the north and the south, respectively.

Operation Desert Valley was the codename for the Romerist battle plan to drive out the Miguelists from El Salvador and to force the Miguelist puppet, the State of Granada, to capitulate. Cabañeras Moreno led his army along the Granada River on their way to the Salvadoran, now Miguelist, capital of Ciutat dels Àngels. The operation lasted from 1933 until the fall of Ciutat dels Àngels to Cabañeras Moreno's forces in 1935, bringing an end to the Salvadoran Civil War. Following the end of the war, the Salvadoran Provisional Government of National Accord was established as a military junta lead and headed by Carlos Castillo Armas.

1935–1939

Main article: Papal War
Main article: Third Senvarian Insurgency

With the fall of the Miguelist power in El Salvador and the capture of Ciutat dels Àngels, Cabañeras Moreno was reassigned to fight the newly formed Senvarian Liberation Front in Senvar and Sonsatepan. His armies were ordered to give no quarter to the Senvarian and Sonsatepanian fighters as the Creeperian government sees them as "lesser races." As a result, many massacres of prisoners of war occurred under Cabañeras Moreno's command and orders from 1935-1937.

In 1936, Cabañeras Moreno suggested that the Creeperian government should establish a maximum facility prison for any prisoners deemed to be fit enough to work. As a result, Tuxtla Martínez–Panachor Concentration Camp opened its doors in 1936 and continues to operate to this day.

In 1936, he was again reassigned to lead the army in the Papal War. Cabañeras Moreno himself ordered his soldiers to kill any captured SLF or Miguelist soldiers. He told his men: “These animals have attacked the Church of God and has desecrated God's land, and they must suffer for their crimes against God.”

1939–1944

Main article: The Dark Years (Creeperopolis)

Cabañeras Moreno was a major figure during the Dark Years of Creeperian history.

During the Dark Years, massacres, genocide, ethnocide, and crimes against humanity were widespread. Cabañeras Moreno himself personally ordered the killings of Senvarian and Sonsatepanian soldiers during the Papal War from 1939-1944. The Huizúcar Massacre was the first massacre which openly targeted Senvarian civilians which occurred on the Senvar-Zapatista border in 1940. The massacre claimed 2,300 civilian lives.

The Huizúcar Massacre was responded to by the Talnique Massacre where the Senvarian Liberation Front executed 729 Creeperian prisoners of war and 211 civilians.

Each side committed massacres back and forth claiming to “retaliate” and “take revenge” for the previous massacre. Almost all of the massacres committed by both sides were ordered to be committed directly from commanding authorities. Cabañeras Moreno himself is responsible for and ordered at least 100 massacres and, at the maximum, up to over 400 massacres, by far the most of any commanding general of either side and even more than Adolfo Rivera López, the commander of the death squad Sombra Negra.

Despite the massacres he committed, Cabañeras Moreno has continued to be seen by the Creeperian population as a war hero for the Romerist cause during the Creeperian Civil War.

Assassination

Main article: Assassination of Adolfo Cabañeras Moreno

On May 9, 1944, Cabañeras Moreno was on his way to a generals' meeting in La'Libertad when he was assassinated by members of the Atheist Red Army disguised as photographers who threw and anti-tank grenade at his car. The grenade killed Cabañeras Moreno, the driver, and Castillianan Field Marshal Luís Sánchez Cerro instantly. The two assassins were injured and knocked over by the grenade. Both were killed on site by the military escort.

Cabañeras' car which was struck by an anti-tank grenade.

Cabañeras Moreno's death was a major blow to Romerist morale and brought the Papal War to a temporary stalemate. His brother, Alfonso Cabañeras Moreno, was appointed as Minister of Defense and he would continue the Papal War in the south. His death also brought an end to the Dark Years and massacres became less frequent. However, Sombra Negra, in retaliation for Cabañeras Moreno's death, massacred over 25,000 civilians, mostly Deltinians, in what became known as the infamous Denshire Massacre.

Legacy and politics

Cabañeras Moreno is viewed as a war hero in Creeperian culture and as a national icon and great leader during the civil war. His legacy is celebrated and remembered on every May 9, the date of his assassination. He is commonly portrayed as a strong, diligent, and powerful figure in Creeperian history.

Adolfo Cabañeras Moreno was an outspoken supporter of the far-right Creeperian Pro-Fatherland Front and Carlos Hernández Videla.

Cabañeras Moreno has had several military academies and streets named after him, mostly in Xichútepa, his home department.

A detatchment of the Militarist Nationalist Front, a Creeperian death squad (abbreviated FRENAMI), was named after Cabañeras Moreno in 1945.

Cabañeras Moreno is seen as a war criminal to Senvarian and Sonsatepanian communities due to the several massacres he ordered as Supreme Caudillo.

Cabañeras Moreno was an outspoken anti-communist and member of the far-right Creeperian Pro-Fatherland Front (Frente Pro-Patria Creeperiano) political party. He was a firm believer in and supporter of absolute monarchy, militarism, national Catholicism, and ultranationalism.
