The '''Amendist Wars''', also known as the '''Euclean Wars of the Religion''', '''Rudolphine Civil War''', and the '''Twenty-Five Years War''', was a series of conflicts from 1582 until 1607 fought between various [[Solarian Catholic Church|Catholic]] and [[Amendism|Amendist]] states in [[Euclea|Eastern Euclea]]. Fighting began between members of the [[Rudolphine Confederation]] over the right of Amendist princes to practice their religion. The Rudolphine Emperor Leopold II sought to restrict the rights of Amendist princes. Internal conflict within the Confederation drew in [[Estmerish Commonwealth|Estmere]], which supported many of the Amendist princes against the Emperor. The Amendist and Catholic sides each drew in their own allies, who fought for religious and political reasons. It was one of the largest and most destructive conflicts in Euclean history.

Tensions between the Amendist and Catholic sides had gone back decades to the Amendist Schism of 1534. The tolerant rule of Otto VII ended when his successor Leopold II was selected in 1567. A devout Catholic, Leopold instituted a policy of religious uniformity on his own domains. Solarian Catholicism was forced on the peoples of the territories directly ruled by the Emperor. During the 1570s, the Emperor expanded these policies to include all members of the Rudolphine Confederation. Angered by attempts to forcibly convert them and the threats Leopold II posed to their religious liberties, Amendist princes elected their own Emperor following the Gothberg Diet in an act known as the Amendist Defiance. The pretender, Maximillian of Bonnlitz, solidified the support of other Amendist nations against the Catholic Emperor.

Fighting began in 1582 when Leopold II defeated forces loyal to Maximillian at the Battle of Kottenwice. The Emperor was successful in defeating the Amendist forces, but was stopped by a larger Amendist army days later. His attempt to swiftly end the Amendist Defiance and restore his authority over the Confederation failed. Estmere, which had guaranteed the rights of Amendist princes in the Confederation, soon intervened. The Estmerish intervention transformed what had initially been an internal conflict of the Rodolphine Confederation into a full-scale continent conflict that involved many of Euclea's leading powers. In 1599 the Estmerish were able to secure the election of Maximilian as Emperor following the sudden death of Otto VIII which drew further Catholic nations into the conflict.

The Amendist Wars resulted in the destruction of much of Northern Euclea. Entire regions were devastated by the conflict and cities were burned to the ground.

There was a high mortality rate for members of the Rudolphine Confederation, Estmere, and Gaullica. Looting was also commonplace which resulted in significant hardships for the civilian populations in many regions.

The Amendist Wars, also known as the Euclean Wars of the Religion, First Rudolphine Civil War, and the Twenty-Five Years War, was a series of conflicts from 1582 until 1607 fought between various Catholic and Amendist states in Eastern Euclea.
