The Luepolan War (Vierz: Lüpolenkrieg), known in Luepola as the Liberation War (Luepolan: Oslobodnočni Rát), was a war from 1976 to 1985 in Luepola. Broadly, the conflict was fought between the Vierz Empire and Luepolan revolutionaries who aimed to depose the government of the State of Luepola and expel Vierz forces from the country. It began with the Luepolan March Uprising in 1976, and ended with the Treaty of Berbest in July 1985.
