The Canter Uprising (Spanish: "Alzamiento de Canter" or "Levantamiento de Canter") was an armed insurrection turned Civil War that took place on May 3, 1884 lasting until May 22nd, 1890 between the then Government and Eastern States of the now defunct Canter Republic and the western states and Bourne Party backed revolutionary group [[Purgatory Genesis]] under [[Travers Trenton]]. The war was triggered by the expulsion of the Bourne Party from the National Assembly under the accusations of civil unrest and the ideology of [[Capitology]] being marked as fanatical extremism which later descended into civil war when 5 western states splintered from the country after attempts to suppress Capitology, which originated and was widely followed in the west, that many westerners claimed was cultural oppression. 

==Background==
During the early 1860s and into the 1870s the cultural barriers became to break down in the Canter Republic as western culture began to take root in eastern states. This was widely enhanced as after the Industrial Revolution where Capitalism became more and more popular within the country. However the economic system took on religious and cultural aspects of the West, largely theorized due to their distance from the Rymoorian islands, largely considered the birthplace of CanterIan civilization. This phenomenon was called “Capitology” and the name soon stuck to describe the beliefs of western Canter states. One political party originating in the state of Estella, who early platformed this Capitology as a guiding, national policy, took great strides in victory over western states and quickly arose as a fierce, minority party within the National Assembly. However the 1882 Assembly Elections saw a major victory for the Bourne Party making it the majority party and a leader in national ethics. This lead to a lot of unrest within the assembly as the Bourne Party began a national overall to reenforce their platform.Tensions between the parties continued to rise until the minority parties like the Builder, York, and Conservative party formed a coalition and ultimately ousted the Bourne Party from the National Assembly, declaring its platform an enemy to national interest and banned the party from the country in January 1884. 

==Canter Front==

===The [[Barcerpa Resistance]]===
[[File:BarcerpaDead.png|225px|left|thumb|Many lie dead in the aftermath of the shootout outside Bourne Party Headquarters in Barcerpa, Estella.]]Local police forces began shutting down Bourne Party offices but after unsuccessful attempt to shut down the main office in the city of Barcerpa, Estella due to militia organizing in the streets the national government dispatched National Guard to disperse the reported crowd. The National Guard engaged in a 3 day stand off between them and the armed mob until May 3, 1884 what historians consider the mark of the start of the Uprising when they tried to force themselves through the crowd. Gunfire erupted from the crowd and a shootout followed leaving 27 soldiers and over 50 armed combatants dead. 3 hours into the gunfight an explosion, still to this day unknown whether it was accidentally or intentionally set off by either side, killed an additional 13 and injuring a dozen more including future rebel leader [[Travers Trenton]] who was horribly disfigured as a result. The National Guard was forced to pull out of the city as a direct result of hostility and the state soon demanded them to remove themselves from its borders, declaring their presence a civil threat. 

===The [[Katenikon Raids]]===
After the massacre in Barcerpa the National Guard were forced to retreat from the city due to the immediate outlash from the populace. The guard fortified a position the the neighboring town of Katenikon just 23 miles to the south of Barcerpa. Presidente de la República Eustacio Tamayo IV authorized the mobilization of the Republican army citing that it would be needed to suppress unrest in Katenikon and eventually re-enter Barcerpa. On the night of May 24, Bourne Party Partisans snuck past the Republican barricades in order to sabotage operations. This became known as the Katenikon Raids. Several barracks and outposts were set ablaze throughout the city and skirmishes erupted in the streets. Local militia were called to arms to aid the now rebel army but suffered heavy casualties. Meanwhile in the North-west corner of the city the main Garrison, due the the squabble around the city thinning Canter Forces, was easily overtaken by the rebels.

Due to the embarrassment of the defeat, Captain General Abraham Carballal was relieved of supreme command and Captain General Franco Gallo was appointed as Capitán General de la República.

==Hatstheput Front==
[[File:We the Hatstheputians.jpg|225px|thumbnail|left|HVF propaganda depicting Santana. "We the Canterians reject the "hofflandphilia" of the regional government and the laziness it shields. Follow the path of Santana and the Hatstheputian Victory Front in their mission to free us of the Canterian opression!"]]
Shortly after the beginning of the [[Canter Uprising]], the Canter insular government of [[North Hatstheput]] decided to support the "legitimate government" of the [[Canter Republic]] in their struggle against the rebels, rejecting the corporatocratic ideas of the Bourneans as well as the use of violence against an elected régime. <br>
In [[North Hatstheput]], the regional branch of the Bourne Party continued to be legal until May 15, 1884; following the [[Barcerpa Resistance]]. The declaration of such political formation as illegal provoked a large part of the former members of it to join a paramilitary group named the [[Hatstheputian Victory Front]], which advocated the same policies as the Bourne Party but even in a more extremist manner. Founded in June 1884 by the lieutenant [[Thomas Santana]], this organization carried out several terrorist attacks in Hofflandian Hatstheput between 1884 and 1886, with the most relevant being the [[Slaughter of Victoria Bank]], believing that the entirety of Hatstheput rightfully belonged to the Canterians. The [[Hatstheputian Victory Front|HVF]] did also conduct significant sabotages against the colonial government, given the fact that it was regarded as part of the Canter Republic and therefore, an enemy. These actions made the [[Hatstheputian Victory Front|HVF]] more popular amongst the North Hatstheputian populace, who regarded the illegalization of the Hatstheputian Bourne Party as an unjustified action. <br>
In February 1886, [[Thomas Santana|Santana]] decides to officially declare war on the colony of [[North Hatstheput]], after having created a functional provisional army capable of fighting the colonial government.
