The war had been precipitated by years of political tension and stagnation surrounding migration from the [[Imperial West]] to the [[Imperial South]]. During the beginning of the 1700's, migrations of [[Balaton people|Balaton]] and [[Hévíz people]] began towards the Imperial South, particularly from the Imperial Megyek of [[North Balaton]], [[West Tolna]] and [[South Balaton]] towards Hegyhát and Kaposvár. The [[Imperial Diet]], when raised with the issue of the [[Balaton-Hévíz migration]], continued to stall. This led to the local populations in conflict with the Balaton and Hévíz migrants. The local populations consisted of [[Hegyhát people|Hegyhát]], [[Kaposvár people|Kaposvár]] and [[Székely people]], most of which were unfriendly to the new migrants. Within the Imperial Diet, almsot all of the noble houses supported the local populations, with the exception of the Hévíz Noble [[House of Hunyadi]].

Legal measures began to be enforced on the new settlements, as they were considered to be under the direct rule of the Hegyhát Noble [[House of Hegedüs]]. These measures included heightened taxes on Balaton and Hévíz merchants to being {{wpl|Forced displacement|forcibly migrated}} by Hegyhát, Kaposvár and Székely locals. Tensions exploded in the village of Szobránc, where the Hegyhát, Kaposvár and Székely locals pillaged the Balaton-Hévíz settlement of Szobránc, known as the [[Tragedy of Szobránc]].

The war began with the Empire's military response two weeks after the proclamation of secession.

The Northern theater soon became somewhat inconclusive, while confusion and issues surrounding military leadership led to a number of defeats from the incompetencies of the Imperial Army.

The Hódítók Disunity, also known as the Kaposvár War was a war between the Empire and the breakaway state of the Balaton-Hévíz Kingdom, which declared its independence in 1733. The war lasted from 1733 to 1740, after the end of the Siege of Óbudavár and the execution of the king of the Balaton-Hévíz Kingdom, Polgárdy Hadik. The war was primarily fought within the Megyek of Kőszeg, Szeged, Hévíz, Kossuth, Ásotthalom, Kaposvár, and Hegyhát. The Hódítók Disunity was considered to be Zgismond I's crowning achievement in his meddling emperorship, however the aftereffects of the war left widescale issues that the Empire was not able to properly handle.

The war had been precipitated by years of political tension and stagnation surrounding migration from the Imperial West to the Imperial South. During the beginning of the 1700's, migrations of Balaton and Hévíz people began towards the Imperial South, particularly from the Imperial Megyek of North Balaton, West Tolna and South Balaton towards Hegyhát and Kaposvár. The Imperial Diet, when raised with the issue of the Balaton-Hévíz migration, continued to stall. This led to the local populations in conflict with the Balaton and Hévíz migrants. The local populations consisted of Hegyhát, Kaposvár and Székely people, most of which were unfriendly to the new migrants. Within the Imperial Diet, almsot all of the noble houses supported the local populations, with the exception of the Hévíz Noble House of Hunyadi.

Legal measures began to be enforced on the new settlements, as they were considered to be under the direct rule of the Hegyhát Noble House of Hegedüs. These measures included heightened taxes on Balaton and Hévíz merchants to being forcibly migrated by Hegyhát, Kaposvár and Székely locals. Tensions exploded in the village of Szobránc, where the Hegyhát, Kaposvár and Székely locals pillaged the Balaton-Hévíz settlement of Szobránc, known as the Tragedy of Szobránc. Over two hundred Balaton and Hévíz settlers were killed, and over three hundred were displaced. In the aftermath of the massacre, the Balaton-Hévíz Kingdom proclaimed the secession of thirty villages in Hegyhát under the leadership of Polgárdy Hadik, a farmer and survivor claiming descendance from the House of Barkóczy who was elected as the leader in the town of Pálóc.  

The war began with the Empire's military response two weeks after the proclamation of secession. By this time, the popularity of the Kingdom became known in the Imperial West and Imperial South, where it embraced the ideology of Lázadó, or Anti-Imperial sentimentality. Over two hundred other villages proclaimed secession from the Empire and towards the Kingdom, bolstering numbers and areas. The two theaters in the war were the Northern Theater and the Eastern Theater.

The Imperial military response in the Northern Theater was hampered by issues surrounding military tactics. The Kingdom couldn't afford to use traditional military tactics that led to a prolonged war, as the Kingdom relied on peasant militias, conscripts and mercenaries. Guerrilla tactics were utilized by the Kingdom to a varying degree of success. The Kingdom found more success in the Eastern Theater towards the Imperial South. The Northern theater soon became somewhat inconclusive, while confusion and issues surrounding military leadership led to a number of defeats from the incompetencies of the Imperial Army. In particular, the Third Imperial Southern Army and the Second Imperial Eastern Army saw decisive defeats in the Battle of Lapáncsa and the First Battle of Oroszlány. In the Battle of Dél-Kőbánya, Zoltán Losonczy and János Rakovszky defected with the 15th Dragoons of Nograd and the 18th Útonálló Division of Kassa due to the leadership issues with Zgismond I and Doryotta Hegedűs. The defection also provided solid military commanders to the Kingdom that they lacked, allowing them to improve the Kingdom's army.

On XXX in 1740, the Empire emerged victorious after the Siege of Óbudavár, which ended in the capturing of Polgárdy Hadik and the majority of the Kingdom's political leaders. László Peidl, Ferenc Dénes, János Rakovszky, Ernő Török, and László Antal managed to escape capture and have since been suspected to have fled to Áden. After capturing the city of Óbudavár, Zgismond I and the Imperial Diet issued a legal order, demanding the execution of the captured Kingdom's political and military leaders in Kossuth. A 50,000 Imperial Pengő was issued for all escaped leaders. The end of the war spurred an outbreak of Anti-Imperial sentiment with the rise of a new Anti-Imperial group, the Az Igazak. Additionally, the war in the Imperial South saw complete devestation in the aftermath. The infrastructure of the Imperial West and the Imperial South saw total devestation. The megyek of Hegyhát and Kaposvár saw the majority of devestation, where agricultural prospects was damaged and much of the travel & trading infrastructure was completely destroyed. These after-effects began the Southern Crisis, a humanitarian crisis where many inhabitants fled from the Imperial South towards the Imperial Central. While the war was ultimately an Imperial victory, the Empire was left with a large humanitarian crisis it was unprepared to handle. The quality and preformance of the Empire's military was called into scrutiny. Military analysts and experts initially reported to the government that the war would be an easy victory. The war ended up becoming bogged down quickly into a stalemate, and saw the Kingdom win several crucial battles against the Empire due to the Kingdom's utilization of guerrilla tactics. In particular, the Empire's poor performance in the Eastern theater brought issues of desertion and soldiers defecting against the Empire to the Kingdom, the most notable being during Dél-Kőbánya. The failures in the Eastern theater also exaserbated the lack of cohesion between the military leadership and noble houses, where some noble houses would take control of armies. This lack of cohesion made the military especially annoyed at the incompetence of the noble houses. These military failues were considered to be extremely humiliating, especially for some of the noble houses responsible for them.

Background

During the Proto-Imperial Era, the megyek of Hegyhat was shared betweenthe Szeged, Hegyhat, Szekelyand Kaposvar until the First Hegyhat War firmly placed the province in the hands of the Hegyhat tribe. Following the Orsolyan Genocide, the area was primarily Hegyhat populated, with Szeged and Kaposvar people being forcibly displaced from the area, and the Szekely being forcibly destroyed. As a response to the Third Hegyhat War, the Redics Principality conquering of West Hegyhat brought influxes of Heviz, Szeged, Lorevi and the Koszeg people. In the Treaty of Kossuth, these migrants were to be guaranteed safety from any potential threats from the Second Hegyhat Empire.

Following the Unification Era, Hegyhat became a host of migration from the Imperial West, in particular the Balaton people due to the economic leniency of the House of Hegedus. Noble Houses within the Empire typically exercise very loose control over land that they own outside of taxation, which they get a cut of. The House of Esterhazy, which owns much of the land in North Balaton and South Balaton.

Political Stagnation

The war officially began in the Battle of Bodolyabér, where monarchist forces led directly by Hadik and fellow rebel commander László Peidl attacked the lightly defended village of Bodolyabér,
