The '''Luepolan War''' ([[wikipedia:German language|Vierz]]: ''Lüpolenkrieg''), known in [[Luepola]] and [[Vorochia]] as the '''Liberation War''' ([[Luepolan language|Luepolan]]: ''Oslobodnočni rát''; {{wpl|Ukrainian language|Vorochian}}: ''Визвольна війна''; Romanized: ''Vyzvol'na vijna''), was a war from 1979 to 1985 in Luepola. The conflict was fought between the [[Vierz Empire]] and Luepolan revolutionaries who had deposed the government of the [[State of Luepola]] and sought to expel Vierz forces from the country. The pro-Vierz Vorochian government was also overthrown in the [[1979 Vorochian Coup d'Etat|July 5 Coup d'Etat]], prompting Vorochia to also be targeted by the Vierz invasion initially planned for solely Luepola.
The '''Luepolan War''' ({{wp|German language|Vierz}}: ''Lüpolenkrieg'', {{lang-lupl|Ľupolski rát|l}}), also known in Luepola as the '''Dissidents' War''' ({{lang-lupl|Disidentski rát|l}}), was a war fought from 1979 to 1982 between the [[Vierz Empire]] and [[Luepola]].


The war was preceded by the [[March Uprising]], in which mass protests and riots led to the ousting of the pro-Vierz Luepolan leadership by sympathetic military officers and members of the Luepolan legislature. The decision to separate from the Vierz Empire's sphere of influence prompted the beginning of the war itself.
The war was preceded by the [[March Uprising]], in which mass protests and riots led to the ousting of the pro-Vierz Luepolan leadership by sympathetic military officers and members of the [[Sliet]]. The new Luepolan government's decision to seek defense arrangements with rival powers such as [[Federal Union of Arcadia|Arcadia]] provoked the Vierz invasion itself, which began in the following August. The war ended with the [[Treaty of Kasenberg]], wherein a defeated Luepola surrendered and submitted itself to military rule by the [[Vierz Armed Forces]] for eight years.
 
Though the war encompassed Vorochia in addition to Luepola, international coverage focused primarily on the fighting in Luepola, lending to the conflict's most commonly used name outside of Luepola and Vorochia. The Luepolan War remains the deadliest and most destructive war fought in [[Patyria]] since the [[Great War (Vasarden)|Great War]].

The Luepolan War (Vierz: Lüpolenkrieg, LuepolanĽupolski rát), also known in Luepola as the Dissidents' War (LuepolanDisidentski rát), was a war fought from 1979 to 1982 between the Vierz Empire and Luepola.

The war was preceded by the March Uprising, in which mass protests and riots led to the ousting of the pro-Vierz Luepolan leadership by sympathetic military officers and members of the Sliet. The new Luepolan government's decision to seek defense arrangements with rival powers such as Arcadia provoked the Vierz invasion itself, which began in the following August. The war ended with the Treaty of Kasenberg, wherein a defeated Luepola surrendered and submitted itself to military rule by the Vierz Armed Forces for eight years.

The Luepolan War remains the deadliest and most destructive war fought in Erisia since the Second Great War.
