Kansallist Valkea, officially the Republic of Valkea, was the period of Valkean history between 1923 and 1975, when the Kansallist Party governed Valkea under a one-party state. Their rule began with the creation of the republic in 1923 and lasted until 1975, after which Valkea transitioned into a democracy.
The Republic was established on 15 August 1923 at the conclusion of the Valkean Civil War. Its new government was led by Hannu Sibelius, leader of the National Movement, which reorganized as the National People's Party (Kansallinen Kansanpoulue). The first few years of Kansallist rule were marked by internal political tensions, slow economic recovery, and a massive famine in 1927. Following Sibelius' assassination in 1928, Markku Vuotola became President, conducting a purge of suspected conspirators as well as political opponents. Vuotola restored economic stability and began a period of rapid industrialization throughout the 1930s and 1940s. Around this time, the Valkean state intensified efforts to forcefully assimilate the Velgi, resulting in the death and displacement of thousands.
Reforms were instituted in Valkea after Vuotola's death in 1945, including lifting the ban on opposition parties, relaxing restrictions on civil and political freedoms, expanding foreign trade, and funding greater subsidies for key industries. A period of economic growth characterized the 1950s and 1960s, with millions of Valkeans seeing rises in their standard of living. However, reignited tensions with Romberg caused the Kansallist Party to invest into nuclear weapons research, which soured relations with its neighbors. In 1971, Valkea underwent an economic recession that stirred up civil unrest across the country, leading to demonstrations against the Kansallist Party. A snap election was called in October 1975, which saw the Democratic Centrist Party win majority seats in the General Labor Congress, marking the end of the Kansallist Party's hold on power. Constitutional reforms were undertaken in 1976, transitioning Valkea towards a democratic republic.
