The Anikatian Civil War more commonly known as the War of Liberation (해방의 전쟁code: kor promoted to code: ko ), officially being Anikatian People's Liberation War (안니카탸 인민 해방 전쟁code: kor promoted to code: ko ) was a civil war in Anikatia fought between forces loyal to the Imperial Republic government of the Republic of Anikatia, and forces loyal to the Communist People's Party (CPP). The war began in August 1948, with the end of the Great Eastern War and essentially ended when major active battles ceased in 1951. The conflict finally ended when as the major military hostilities concluded, with the newly founded Democratic Socialist Republic of Anikatia controlling the mainland of Azumakya.

Historians have long debated how the rebel Communists forces managed to succeed over the Imperial Republic. Many suggest that the highly centralised and disorganized war-weary government failed to utilise its advantages early, allowing the Communist forces to achieve many small but effective propaganda victories providing popular support while the government was forced to accept humiliating unequal treaties with its war-time allies. The government was also was further weakened by the war against the Prestonians and by the end of the Great Eastern War, the balance of power had shifted in favor of the Communists. Strong initial support from Belhavia and Belfras diminished with the growing failures, and then stopped completely mainly because of military setbacks.
