The '''1963 Communist Uprising''' (also known as the '''1963 coup attempt''', the Failed Coup, the July Massacre, and the Great Crackdown) was a failed coup d'état attempt to overthrow President Gervásio Constantino and the legislature. The intent was to install the Marasalian Communist Party into power, first through peaceful demonstration, but then eventually to armed insurrection. The coup attempt saw several state capitols and the Federal capitol suddenly seized by armed demonstrators, after engaging in gun battles with Federal Police and Local and Federal guards. The insurrection prompted a harsh military response, with tanks and aircraft being used to recapture the capitols and crush other attempts to re-organize. | The '''1963 Communist Uprising''' (also known as the '''1963 coup attempt''', the Failed Coup, the July Massacre, and the Great Crackdown) was a failed coup d'état attempt to overthrow President Gervásio Constantino and the legislature.

As Marasalia's economy grew in the periods after [World War 2 but Alitheia], development across the country was dramatically skewed to the state of Jiutão, where the [[Great Marasalian Canal]] is located. The canal, being a vital lifeline for the interior regions of Marasalia, [[Parcia]], and [[Mirakai]], saw large infrastructural developments funded by the Marasalian Federal Government, while infrastructure in other regions were prioritized around specifically connecting military installations to nearby ports. Infrastructural problems were compounded as Marasalia's Federal Government initiated a policy in 1958 which declared most highways to be "non-critical" infrastructure and left their maintenance up to individual states, many of whom did not have the financial capability to keep up with the added costs. Jiutão, however, continued to have most of its roadways funded by the Federal Government, due to its positioning to the canal. | |||

The 1963 Communist Uprising (also known as the 1963 coup attempt, the Failed Coup, the July Massacre, and the Great Crackdown) was a failed coup d'état attempt to overthrow President Gervásio Constantino and the legislature. The intent was to install the Marasalian Communist Party into power, first through peaceful demonstration, but then eventually to armed insurrection. The coup attempt saw several state capitols and the Federal capitol suddenly seized by armed demonstrators, after engaging in gun battles with Federal Police and Local and Federal guards. The insurrection prompted a harsh military response, with tanks and aircraft being used to recapture the capitols and crush other attempts to re-organize.
Though the crackdown received initial praise, the Marasalian government censored details such as active live-firing into crowds of otherwise peaceful demonstrators, details which were leaked later. The incident has garnered much controversy in modern times, prompting the Marasalian government to issue $450 checks to the families of those killed in such live-firing incidences in 1993.
Background
As Marasalia's economy grew in the periods after [World War 2 but Alitheia], development across the country was dramatically skewed to the state of Jiutão, where the Great Marasalian Canal is located. The canal, being a vital lifeline for the interior regions of Marasalia, Parcia, and Mirakai, saw large infrastructural developments funded by the Marasalian Federal Government, while infrastructure in other regions were prioritized around specifically connecting military installations to nearby ports. Infrastructural problems were compounded as Marasalia's Federal Government initiated a policy in 1958 which declared most highways to be "non-critical" infrastructure and left their maintenance up to individual states, many of whom did not have the financial capability to keep up with the added costs. Jiutão, however, continued to have most of its roadways funded by the Federal Government, due to its positioning to the canal.
