The '''South Ecros War''' ([[Eleutherian language|Eleutherian]]: ''Νότιος έκρος πόλεμος'', [[Illyrian Iberic language|Illyrian Iberic]]: ''Geuro Su Ecros'', [[Pavulturilori Language|Pavulturilori]]: ''războiul sud-ecros'', [[Hebrew]]: ''מלחמת דרום אקרוס'') was a major armed conflict that occurred in southern [[Ecros]] from 1945 to 1948 fought mainly between the [[Communism|communist]] alliance of the [[Red Hand]], [[Terranihil]], and [[New Illyricum]] against [[Eleutherios]], [[Jackson]], and the [[Kingdom of Pavulturilor]].
  
The '''South Ecros War''' was a major armed conflict that occurred in southern [[Ecros]] from 1945 to 1948 fought mainly between [[Terranihil]] and Eleutherian communist revolutionaries against the [[Eleutherios|Eleutherian republic]], [[Jackson Empire]], the [[Kingdom of Pavulturilor]], and [[Bladium]].

The [[Eleutherian Civil War]] began in 1945 when Eleutherian communists attempted to overthrow the Eleutherian government with material support from Terranihil, at the time governed by the [[Communist Party of Terranihil]]. The [[Terranilian Air Force]] attacked Eleutherian forces and factories, and then Terranihil launched a land invasion of Eleutherios in 1945. The communist forces made significant progress over the course of several months.

+
Jackson provided Eleutherios with weapons and material goods, which led to Terranihil beginning a blockade on the [[Jack River]] to limit this flow of supplies. Air battles over the [[Andaluzian Sea]] ensued between Jackson and the allied forces of Terranihil and New Illyricum. Pavulturilor invaded [[Alaia]] after the instatement of the blockade in December 1945, and soon conflict erupted across the New Illyrian - Pavulturilori border, leading to an eventual stalemate.
  
[[Jackson Empire]] provided Eleutherios with weapons. Terranihil began a blockade of the [[Jack River]] to prevent Jacksonian supplies from reaching Eleutherios. This led to naval and air battles in the [[Andaluzian Sea]], and the Jacksonian declaration of war against Terranihil. Then Pavulturilor and Bladium both invaded Terranihil<!--, attempting to take land in [[Alaia]] and [[Vaktria]] respectively, which they both saw as part of their historical and cultural homeland.--> Pavulturilor was able to capture several hundred kilometers of land to its north, while the Bladian-Terranilian front became a stalemate.  
+
Though the communist forces in Eleutherios had captured much of the nation, Terranihil faced a four front war with few allies. The advancing Pavulturilor army and the threat of a Jackian land invasion pressured Terranihil to agree to an armistice despite its unfavorable provisions.

In 1936 communist officers began to form plots against the liberal democrat government culminating in the [[Ashura Revolution]] in March 1937, led by communist [[Enkart Vaslast]] and republican [[Karam Šaıa]]. Several days later Terranilian president [[Amen Tǎzma]] fled the country to [[Quebecshire]] after the arrest of [[Prime Minister of Terranihil|Prime Minister]] [[Deplerza]] by military forces in [[Minaltar]].

Revolutionary forces formed the [[Revolutionary Command Committee]] which took command of the nation, and after Šaıa declared himself interim president tensions arose between the republican and communist delegates who formed the Command Committee. He was forced to resign just twenty-four days later, and Valast took power as interim president, and communist [[Amelius Fakraš]] was elected Prime Minister. Valast then purged republican influence and arrested Šaıa, before officially winning presidency during the [[1938 Terranilian presidential election]].

The Eleutherian Civil War began on April 13, 1944, with a coup attempt by [[Zaharias V]], leader of the [[Red Hand]] communist militia group. He wrestled control of southern portion of Eleutherios, basing himself in the city of [[Marathon]]. Despite initial gains, coming to the outskirts of [[Corinth]], the Federal Army of Eleutherios was able to beat the Red Hand back to the outskirts of Erimos. With the line breaking, Zaharias V called on Terranihil, who up until that point was providing weapons and volunteers to the Red Hand, to officially join the war. Terranihil invaded Eleutherios in February 1945.

Following the communist uprisings in neighboring Terranhil, communist forces in Eleutherios, centered around the city of [[Marathon]] and known as the Red Hand, felt empowered to rise up in 1944 against the federalist government. Led by [[Zaharias V]] the group [[Marathon Coup|took]] power in Marathon which led to large scale fighting near the city. Terranihilian aid helped propel communist victories, and an eventual [[Battle of Erimos|capture]] of [[Erimos]] after several months of fighting in December 1944.

With new aid coming from Jackson, Eleutherian troops led a counter-offensive under the command of [[Military ranks of Eleutherios|General]] [[Dimitrios II]] driving communist forces away from [[Corinth]] back to the outskirts of Erimos. With the line breaking, Zaharias V called on Terranihil and New Illyricum to officially join the war in order to aid the communist cause, and in February 1945 Terranihilian troops advanced across the border into Eleutherios.

The South Ecros War (Eleutherian: Νότιος έκρος πόλεμος, Illyrian Iberic: Geuro Su Ecros, Pavulturilori: războiul sud-ecros, Hebrew: מלחמת דרום אקרוס) was a major armed conflict that occurred in southern Ecros from 1945 to 1948 fought mainly between the communist alliance of the Red Hand, Terranihil, and New Illyricum against Eleutherios, Jackson, and the Kingdom of Pavulturilor.

The Eleutherian Civil War began in 1945 when Eleutherian communists attempted to overthrow the Eleutherian government with material support from Terranihil, at the time governed by the Communist Party of Terranihil. The Terranilian Air Force attacked Eleutherian forces and factories, and then Terranihil launched a land invasion of Eleutherios in 1945. The communist forces made significant progress over the course of several months.

Jackson provided Eleutherios with weapons and material goods, which led to Terranihil beginning a blockade on the Jack River to limit this flow of supplies. Air battles over the Andaluzian Sea ensued between Jackson and the allied forces of Terranihil and New Illyricum. Pavulturilor invaded Alaia after the instatement of the blockade in December 1945, and soon conflict erupted across the New Illyrian - Pavulturilori border, leading to an eventual stalemate.

Though the communist forces in Eleutherios had captured much of the nation, Terranihil faced a four front war with few allies. The advancing Pavulturilor army and the threat of a Jackian land invasion pressured Terranihil to agree to an armistice despite its unfavorable provisions.

Background

Terranihil

In 1936 communist officers began to form plots against the liberal democrat government culminating in the Ashura Revolution in March 1937, led by communist Enkart Vaslast and republican Karam Šaıa. Several days later Terranilian president Amen Tǎzma fled the country to Quebecshire after the arrest of Prime Minister Deplerza by military forces in Minaltar.

Revolutionary forces formed the Revolutionary Command Committee which took command of the nation, and after Šaıa declared himself interim president tensions arose between the republican and communist delegates who formed the Command Committee. He was forced to resign just twenty-four days later, and Valast took power as interim president, and communist Amelius Fakraš was elected Prime Minister. Valast then purged republican influence and arrested Šaıa, before officially winning presidency during the 1938 Terranilian presidential election.

Eleutherios

Following the communist uprisings in neighboring Terranhil, communist forces in Eleutherios, centered around the city of Marathon and known as the Red Hand, felt empowered to rise up in 1944 against the federalist government. Led by Zaharias V the group took power in Marathon which led to large scale fighting near the city. Terranihilian aid helped propel communist victories, and an eventual capture of Erimos after several months of fighting in December 1944.

On December 5th, 1945, the Terranihillian navy blocked a supplies ship heading towards Eleutherios coming from the Jack River. Because of this, Jackson officially declared war on Terranihil the next day. Very soon after this, the Jackian Navy successfully unblocked the Jack River and started their attacks on Terranihil's port cities. With the mounting pressure of 2 front-lines, and the Jackian Navy at their doorstep, Terranihil started losing territory and gains.

Pavulturilori intervention

In reaction to the blockade of the Jack River that was enacted on 5 of December 1945 by the Terranihilian navy, on 7 of December, 1945, Pavulturilor launched an invasion of the Alaia region after a decleration of war, while at first little to no Terranihilian resistence was met, eventually the Alaia front turned into a bloody stalemate until the end of the war.

Călăneasan Offensive

In late January, 1945, New Illyrian commander Adrianus Dophus met with Terranihillian generals to discuss an offensive into Pavulturilor in order to take pressure off of Alaia. The commanders agreed to a large offensive into Călăneasa, the offensive would utilize pincer attacks from Nyapthus and (----) with the main assault force coming from Italus.

The Pavulturilori military was quick to respond, and by February 10th the offensive began to become bogged down by stiff resistance and supply problems.

Aftermath

Alaia Wars

Though Terranihil recognized its new border with Pavulturilor when it accepted the armistice, the border has been a source of multiple conflicts since the war. Terranihil and Pavulturilor never formed a peace treaty. Following the Progressive Revolution, the National Progressive Party has sought to recapture southern Alaia.

Foreign reactions

At the start of the war the Kingdom of Kwazulu announced that it will diplomatically support Pavulturilor, as a response the Leftist International Ciskei announced their support for the Commintern. The decades long tension, followed by border clashes reached it's highest point and Ciskei declared war on Kwazulu on 31 December 1945, starting the Kei River War, a seperate war. Ciskeian leaders discussed the option of sending troops abroad to help the Commintern, however the capabilities of its armed forces were limited and due to distance the option was dismissed.
