After the Confederal Kingdom's king [[Tougo Azanami]] had signed the [[Five Points Treaty]] to end the [[Northern Usonea War]], the country was forced to pay debts that was too far for the country's economy to handle, and the fact that the country lost to foreign powers had implanted discontent among the populace of the 18-nation confederation. With growing discontent, Azanami abdicated, and his prime minister, [[Hideyoshi Kaslana]], was assassinated during the arrest of the monarchy. Invoking the [[Constitution of Komashi]], the 18 monarchies initially decided to elect a new leader.

The Komashi War of Succession (KS: こましの継承戦争, Komashi no keishō sensō, Vozlischsprache: Komashi Erbfolgekrieg), alternatively the Third Komashi Civil War, is an ongoing civil war in Komashi, fought between the Yukino Coalition, led by Ryan Shirakami and Duchess Chiyomaru Yukino, against the Conservative Coalition that is primarily led by Grand Duchess Ibuki Sana of Azura-Nishi, along with foreign support from the Grand Friently Empire.

After the Confederal Kingdom's king Tougo Azanami had signed the Five Points Treaty to end the Northern Usonea War, the country was forced to pay debts that was too far for the country's economy to handle, and the fact that the country lost to foreign powers had implanted discontent among the populace of the 18-nation confederation. With growing discontent, Azanami abdicated, and his prime minister, Hideyoshi Kaslana, was assassinated during the arrest of the monarchy. Invoking the Constitution of Komashi, the 18 monarchies initially decided to elect a new leader.

Things changed on 5 April, the day that had been set for the election, when Ryan Shirakami stepped up to be the succeeding king. Seven nations of the Confederation then seceded, forming the Conservative Coalition, after their initial votes were for Ibuki Sana. Aware of these actions, the remaining 11 nations in the Confederation formed the Yukino Coalition, at the behest of Duchess Chiyomaru. With the Komashi nation torn in two, discontent and general unrest between the two coalitions grew, with open hostilities starting on 20 April when Vozlisch pre-emptively attacked Kisume Fortress in Azanami, and Azura-Nishi attacking Wakamiya and Youmu in Hanabi and Aizawa, respectively.

Aizawa, Azanami, and Hanabi repulsed all the pre-emptive offensives. On the same day, the Duchy of Yukino launched the pre-emptive invasion of Maikaze, a Conservative-aligned state. Yukino troops overran the surprised Maikaze forces across the east bank of the Yukino River and quickly besieged Nara, the state's capital and largest city. The city was nearly all but destroyed, with its destruction being showed across the entire Komashi nation. The state of Maikaze then fell on 28 April to Yukino control. From 20 April to May onward, the Conservatives launched multiple offensives into Yukino-controlled territories to no avail.

On 25 April, the Zaychik government defected to the Yukino Coalition, being the first Conservative state to defect to the Yukino Coalition. This action was followed by the consequential two-front offensives where Zaychik saw itself being attacked from the east and west by its Conservative neighbors, that being Kaslana and Sakura in the battles of Shchorsgrad and Izmail Oblast, respectively. These were thwarted by fierce Zaychik resistance, and in the case of the battle in Izmail Oblast, the Royal Azanami Air Force lent its help.

The war is currently being considered to be the most destructive civil war in the history of Komashi. The war currently has claimed 750,000 innocent civilians, with nearly 40 percent of those from the consequence of the siege of Nara. Komashi humanitarian organizations have criticized both sides, calling the war a "civil war of attrition". The number of displaced civilians from Conservative territories are tallying up to over 2.5 million. The Yukino Coalition are conducting efforts to resettle the affected refugees on the safety of their territories, with extensive successes so far.
