The Second Ajaki Civil War occurred in Ajakanistan between 3 August 1966 and 17 June 1978. It was fought between the far-right Imperial State of Ajakanistan and the far-left Communist States of Ajakanistan.

Background

Oil war

Six years before the start of the civil war, Ajakanistan was involved in a war with Reykanes. The war resulted in several international embargoes which negatively affected the Ajaki economy. The was also made Ajakanistan politically unstable, and opposition to the communist government began to manifest within the country's population and military ranks.

Foreign involvement

Nationalists

The Nationalists of the civil war were strongly supported by the Creeperian government, which sought to overthrow the communist Ajaki government due to their support of the communist National Council for Peace and Order during the Creeperian Civil War of 1933 to 1949. Many Creeperian exiles who fought for the National Council were living in Ajakanistan, and the Creeperian government wanted to capture and execute them on charges of treason and sedition.

The Creeperian government sent funding and weapons to the Nationalists throughout the war, and especially helped them during their initial revolution against the government in 1966. The Creeperian government additionally sent the White Eagle Legion (LAB), a uint of the Creeperian Air Force established for the purpose of assisting the Nationalists in the civil war. The legion consisted of a total of 50 Maroto Botín MB-20 fighter/attack jets, 30 Maroto Botín MB-21 fighter/attack jets, 40 Maroto Botín MB-8E strategic bombers, and 15 Maroto Botín MB-9T tactical bombers.

As well, the Nationalists received significant support from the right-wing government of Gjorka. Gjorka did supply the Nationalist government with limited funding and weapons, and the Gjorkan Air Force conducted regular bombings of communist territory due to their close proximity it's air bases. This bombing campaign caused significant tension with the communist government and thus skirmishes between Gjorka and the Communists at the Gjorkan border were frequent. Following the overthrow of the military dictatorship in 1972, all Gjorkan aid to the Nationalists ceased.
