The Chelageyan Civil War (Sarracese: Guerre civile chélageyaise), also referred to as the Chelageyan Revolution (Sarracese: Révolution chélageyaise), was a period of political instability and civil war in Chelagey from 1938 to 1955. It is generally agreed to encompass three distinct phases: the insurgent opposition to the loyalist remnants of the authoritarian dictatorship of Omema Cheueta after his assassination in 1938 and the attempts by rivaling factions within the military and the National Popular Action Movement (MNAP) to oust it; the subsequent campaign of the Clement Leroy Couchér-led military government against the Ochoccola-backed Ditlihis beginning in 1951; and the near-simultaneous war fought between the Couchér regime and the PRO over the Akonshuk region on Godrica, which is sometimes regarded as the distinct Chelago-Ochoccolan War of 1952-1955 or the First Akonshuk War.
Omema Cheueta ruled as de facto Chelageyan dictator from 1930 to 1937 until his assassination by then-believed affiliates of the Communist Party of Chelagey (PCC) during the 1938 New Year's Eve celebrations. In actuality, his assassination was an attempt by rogue officials in the Chelageyan military, led by Major General Clement Leroy Couchér, to seize power in a swift coup d'état, but instead, the organization and chain of command of the armed forces broke apart on the question of loyalty. The rapidly developing power vacuum, unable to be filled by Cheueta's interim government in Digalua, ultimately allowed for political turmoil to take root. Couchér proclaimed his newly-formed government to be the sole legitimate one on 2 January, while Cheueta's brother Alfonso Cheueta attempted to return control over the country to the Cheueta family with a counter-coup on 4 January. Simultaneously, the outlawed PCC was re-organized into the MNAP, an alliance of militant socialist and communist political parties and groups, and launched an insurgency against both claimant governments by May.
The ensuing armed conflict was exceptionally brutal with numerous accounts of reported war crimes such as summary execution, the intentional targeting and killing of civilians, torture, and ethnic cleansing of native Shuelah; estimates of casualties vary widely due to war-time censorship and the arbitrary nature of the crimes committed, but most estimate up to 45,000–79,000 deaths in total. Military actions by the MNAP, the Couchér, and the Cheueta governments spilt over into the newly-established First Ochoccolan Republic by 1948 and precipitated the 1950 coup d'état and creation of the People's Republic of Ochoccola (PRO) on 15 April 1950. On 16 July 1951, Couchér assumed control over Digalua with Mascyllary military support and dissolved Cheueta's rivaling government; Cheueta was imprisoned and executed on 20 July. Infighting inside the MNAP after Claude Lamar's death caused its collapse in August of 1951 and allowed the Ditlihis under Wohali Cheuttemwaqa to emerge as the most powerful splinter group and secure the material support of the PRO and other communist countries.
