Contents
Background
The war was started over tensions between the Merchant Class and ruling Monarchy. The King Quintin III had been taking more power for himself, and spending the wealth of the treasury. Gjorka's economy was still recovering from a war against Ajakanistan. However, he further strained the economy with his grand rebuild of the capital of Bloemfontein after it was destroyed in a flood. The King was forced to move to Gjorka City while his city was rebuilt. Having found the city completely under the control of the Merchant aristocracy rather than his own, he attempted to reassert control. He assertions culminated in a coup attempt which failed and forced him to flee. The Merchants issued the Proclamation of the Free declaring the King tyrannical and the monarchy no longer legitimate.
