The Tasmana War was a Provincial War between pro- and anti-government forces in the island of Tasmana, The Furbish Islands, taking place during the Time of Troubles. Due to its remoteness, it was fought mainly between provincial militias and with little support from federal forces. Anti-government forces became victorious in early 71 (1875).
The war first began when General Machiel Zonnenberg fled to Urrugne after the failed Coup of 30 Messidor. He convinced the government of Nòu Occitània to rebel by seizing all locations occupied by the Furbish military. They were quickly joined by other non Fluvan-speaking provinces on the island. In response, the Fluvan-speaking provinces and federal forces on the island invaded, besieging Gonçalves and Pernis, and pushing into Nòu Occitània. Anti-government forces made gains in the interior of the island and around North Fluvanna.
By early 70 (late 1873), however, pro-government forces began to be pushed back quickly on all fronts. The Nòu Occitània Campaign ended quickly after a decisive anti-government victory at the Battle of Mont Barrois, while Gonçalves and Pernis were also relieved by newly raised militias which then went on the offensive. North Fluvanna fell first, followed by the cities of Hanover and Kirkcaldy. Pro-government forces were pushed to the mountains by early summer 70 (1874), beginning the bloody Tasmana Mountain Campaign. By the end of summer, pro-government forces were pushed back to a handful of holdouts. The last to fall was Middleborough on 9 Pluviôse 71 (28 January 1875), following a bloody five month long siege.
The Tasmana war left a large impact on the region. Many settlements, especially in the mountains, were left devastated. Middleborough became the most devastated city from the Time of Troubles, suffering more damange than even Noorderstein or Harrisbarig.
