The Yarden revisionist movements, more commonly referred to simply as Yarden Revisionism, describes the ideological spectrum of opposition to the 1973 Yarden Accords between Yisrael and Sydalon ending their 60-year cold war and numerous conflicts for a settled, cordial peace. Opposition to the Accords was strongest in the early years of the treaty's signing, peaking in the late 1970s and 1980s. By the late 1990s, Yarden Revisionism had dwindled from a political ideology and faction on the margins of global geopolitics and the domestic politics of both Yisrael and Sydalon to a largely-fringe political phenomenon. However, it has seen a smaller revival in the 2010s with the ascension of Pope Julius IV unto the Fabrian Catholic throne in 2015, which has influenced Revisionist thought to become more politically palatable among populist-nationalist and religious political forces in the Belisarian Catholic world and beyond.
History
The late 19th century was characterized by an explosion of ideologies in West Scipia, particularly in Yisrael and Sydalon. Mid-century maturity of industrialization and emerging modernization led to a growth of rising national, religious, and ethnic consciousnesses and self-identity.
Yisrael had launched the Empire of Yisrael in the early 1830s, invading and colonizing the northwest region of Kirthan in Talahara. Between the 1860s and 1890s, numerous nationalist and religious thinkers in both Sydalon and Yisrael were re-examining and rediscovering archaeological and historical finds in both countries. Paralleling each other, both countries experienced a similar pan-nationalism emerge in certain hawkish corners of their royal establishments and political societies. Embraced by the right-wing, the ideologies of 'Pan-Sydalonism' and a 'Greater Yisrael,' respectively, came to enjoy out-sized influenced at the Sydalene and Yisraeli courts.
Some Sydalene imperialists agitated to annex the whole Yarden River Valley from Yisrael, or to annex Yisrael entirely as 'rightful' Sydalene land citing 14th century Ghantish-led Crusader States in Yerushalayim and other parts of modern-day Yisrael. Likewise, there were Yisraeli expansionists who pushed to recreate the late 13th- and early 14th-century Medina Yehuda, of which modern Sydalon was apart.
After twenty years of rising geopolitical tension and border clashes between Sydalon and Yisrael, the West Scipian Contention came into being by both nations. Within just a few years, three wars over the course of the next 50 years broke out. By the end of the Fourth West Scipian War, both countries (supported by their geopolitical patrons), steered towards a permanent peace, exhausted by intermittent war and violence.
Signing of the Yarden Accords
After a prolonged, 5-year peace process, the Yarden Accords were signed in late 1973 and officially took effect on January 1st, 1974. Although the political establishments in both countries as well as numerous foreign states welcomed the Accords, the treaty itself remained controversial and polarized in the politics of both Sydalon and Yisrael. Heated political rhetoric and outbreaks of domestic violence erupted frequently after the signing, continuing for a decade or so well into the 1980s.
Opposition in the 1970s and 1980s
High-profile political murders and violence
In the immediate aftermath of the signing, Yisraeli President Boaz Benayoun, the great advocate of permanent peace who was elected in 1968 and re-elected in 1972 on a platform of "peace in our times," was assassinated on April 18, 1974, at a political rally barely four months after the Accords were implemented. His killer, Yisraeli Christian and "Staynik" John "the Baptist" Luzon, shouted out "long live Sydalene Yarden!" before firing several bullets point-blank into his chest, killing him instantly.
The political violence extended to both sides of the Sydalon-Yisrael border: less than a year later, on August 10th, 1975, Queen Elissa IV of Sydalon was assassinated by an unknown assailant from a fringe Sydalene anti-Yarden group, which claimed responsibility for the murder.
Beyond the high-level murders, authorities on both sides of the border registered higher-than-normal amounts of violence, attacks, and killings. The Royal Yisraeli Security Service published a 1977 report saying that in the three years after the Accords, related killings soared 156%, physical attacks related to Accords politics increased by 88%, and general violence (including property damage) increased 43%.
The Royal Sydalene Secret Service reported in 1976 that Accords-related political violence of all types was up a "noticeable" amount, though it declined to share percentages or numbers, a policy it has continued to the present-day. Some Sydalene analysts are careful to note that during the same time, Sydalene society was healing from the early 1970s Jean Crisis as well as undergoing accelerating tension between the Crown and the political families of the Royal Domains.
In Yisrael, after the January 1976 election of President Binyamin Schwartz, who arguably rode a wave of Yarden Revisionist anger and support on the Yisraeli right, Accords-related killings and murders directed against politicians and others declined sharply, though Christian terrorism increased markedly. These pro-Sydalene Christian nationalists, nicknamed 'Stayniks' and usually based in the Yarden River Valley and other parts of northern Yisrael, became the main drivers of violence with the string of terror attacks starting in August 1976 that continued without fail every year until 2019.
General political opposition
In Sydalon, a number of border domain leaders and figures agitated against the Accords, oftentimes exhibiting years-long skepticism and vitriolic disagreement. Among these included Louis IV, Duke of Hayan, the incumbent domain leader before and during the Accords signing, as well as his son, Henry I, Duke of Hayan, who continued a strident Yarden Revisionist stance into the 1990s before ceasing to voice his disagreement in public. Another border domain leader, Barisan III, Duke of Tiberias, also was outspoken as a Revisionist and Accords critic. Most prominently, however, was Michael de Kourtene, the wartime Chancellor from 1964-1967, and an anti-Accords voice (as well as fierce Pan-Sydalonist) after his postwar expulsion from Parliament by King Jordan IX from his retirement until his death in 1990.

Foreign policy liberal opposition
Major opposition groups, factions, and individuals
By country
Fabria
- Pope TBD
Sydalon
- Elissa Ireyz (high-profile far right politician)
- Patriots Movement (political party)
- New Order (political party)
- Vanguard of the People (political party)
- Alliance for New Judea (designated terrorist group at war with Sydalene state)
- Zionist Vision (designated terrorist group at war with Sydalene state)
While public support in Sydalon for the Yarden Accords remains a majority, a number of political factions remain opposed to the agreement. The largest such faction is the Patriots Movement, a far-right political party that was founded in the first years after the Accords were signed. The party currently holds 11 seats in the National Assembly. Other minor political factions such as New Order, and Vanguard of the People are also opposed to the Accords. Few other factions in the Senate are outright opposed to the Accords, but hold a more populist manifesto of seeking a popular referendum on the Accords, but this has thus far failed to gain traction.
Yisrael
- Northern League (minority faction of the political party)
- Stayniks (Yisraeli Christian faction of Sydalene nationalists who purposefully stayed in the Yarden River Valley rather than be resettled in Sydalon as part of the 1973 Yarden Accords)
- Christian Defense League (designated terrorist group at war with Yisraeli state)
- Free Yarden Valley Catholic Front (designated terrorist group at war with Yisraeli state)
- Pan-Sydalene Liberation Army (designated terrorist group at war with Yisraeli state)
