The Soravian Revolution (Soravian: Зоравська революція; Zoravs'ka revolyutsiya), also known as the Revolution of 1856 (Soravian: Революція 1856 року; Revolyutsiya 1856 roku), was a period of widespread unrest and rebellion within the Soravian Empire between 1856 and 1857. The revolution was a culmination of many different factors, but was brought to an apogee by Soravia's defeat in the War of the Triple Alliance. The revolution was successful in overthrowing the Soravian monarchy and establishing the Soravian Republic in its place.
After defeat in the War of the Triple Alliance, Soravia was required to pay a large indemnity after the Congress of Torrazza, which caused a large increase to what were already high war taxes. Small-scale peasants' revolts occurred across the country, which were brutally repressed by the military but caused a growing empathy within low-ranking soldiers, who mutinied at Borzhava in January 1856. By May, unrest with the conservative government of Count Mikhailitsyn resulted in a large liberal revolt in the capital Samistopol. Mikhailitsyn refused to resign and was backed by Soravian emperor Ivan VI, causing greater unrest around the country. Simultaneously, revolutionaries Marceli Tyburski and Melchior Wiśniowski declared the Miersan Revolutionary Republic in both Soravian and Gaullican Miersa. Soravia requested the assistance of Gaullican forces in quelling the new Miersan state, but they were unable to do so. By August, Ivan and Mikhailitsyn's government had fled to Kholmogory, and Samistopol fell to liberal–republican forces under the lead of Eduard Olsov, proclaiming the new Soravian republic.
In December, Mikhailitsyn was assassinated in Kholmogory by forces linked with republican circles under the lead of Robert Marinin, causing his government to scatter and flee the country and a separate republican government to be proclaimed in the city. Marinin and Olsov eventually met in January 1857 and agreed to unite their movements under a compromise that saw the republic maintain its strong head-of-state but concede on matters of federalism and ethnic self-determination. A month later, the White Guard declared independence in Laudania, beginning the Laudanian War of Independence. The Miersan Revolutionary Republic was ultimately defeated after some of its elements defected to secure power in the newly-created subdivision of Miersa within the Soravian Republic.
Soravian revolutionaries and ideologies took great inspiration from the Etrurian and Weranian Revolutions, as well as the ill-fated Easter Revolution later on. Soravia ultimately became the first long-lived republic in Euclea, which saw it become a centre of revolutionary thought and later for the development of socialism under Yuri Nemtsov. The Congress of Marolevia held in Krada became crucial in the development of self-determination and pan-Marolevism as political and philosophical concepts. The revolution also resulted in the Chistovinalian Declaration of Independence in 1859, becoming one of the last new world colonies to achieve independence. Soravia's power and influence on the world stage was greatly diminished by the events of 1856, which some have argued saw Soravia fall from its great power status in favour of the newly-unified Werania.
