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 Eleutherian republic, Jackson Empire, the Kingdom of Pavulturilor, and Bladium.
The Eleutherian Civil War began on 194- 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 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 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 Jacksonian land invasion pressured Terranihil to agree to an armistice despite its unfavorable provisions.

Background
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.

Armistice provisions
Eleutherios will return to pre-war borders.
Jackson will receive full control and authority over the Jack River and Lake Manal indefinitely.
Pavulturilor will receive a portion of land equal to 100,000 km² in the south of Alaia.
Bladium will gain international recognition among all participating parties, with the current border being made official.
Consequences
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.
