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 and Vorochia. The conflict was fought between the [[Central Patyrian Cooperation Association]] led by the [[Vierz Empire]], and Luepola and Vorochia, who had both withdrawn from the CPCA.
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 [[Sliet]]. The new Luepolan government's decision to withdraw from the CPCA provoked the Vierz invasion itself, which began in the following August; the invasion was expanded during planning to also target Vorochia after its [[Vorochian Coup d'Etat|coup d'etat]]. The war lasted for six years, ending with the [[Treaty of Skalla]], wherein Vierzland and her  recognized the new governments of Luepola and Vorochia and agreed to withdraw from the two countries.


The Luepolan War remains the deadliest and most destructive war fought in [[Patyria]] since the [[Great War (Vasarden)|Great War]]. The war is also considered the climax of the [[Silent War]], as the weakening of Vierzland's economy and military over the course of the war ultimately led to the breakdown of the CPCA and later the [[Vierz Revolution]], which saw the end of the Silent War and the Vierz monarchy.
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.


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

While ''Unternehmen Juste'' was undertaken primarily by Vierzland, most of the CPCA's key members also participated in various capacities, with the notable exception of [[North Granzery]], which was then in talks with its [[South Granzery|southern counterpart]] concerning their [[Granzerian Reunification|reunification]]. [[Vyzinia]], [[Zacotia]], [[Plosenia]], and [[Tanavia]] each contributed military forces, while [[Borland]] and [[Lairea]] supported the war diplomatically. Vierzland's key non-CPCA ally [[Savland]] did not contribute to the Vierz effort.
===Supporting Luepola and Vorochia===
The [[Aitic Union]], despite facing social unrest of its own against the communist government, became the primary foreign military supplier of Luepola and Vorochia during the war until its dissolution in 1984. The Aitic Union's aid consisted firstly of small arms smuggled across the Vorochian border and with humanitarian shipments to Bosunija, but later grew to include tanks and aircraft, broken down and shipped to Luepola and Vorochia, along with military advisors. In 2006, it was revealed in a series of interviews with former partisan and other insurgent commanders that they were supplied with weapons and training from Aitic military personnel operating in Vierz-controlled territory.


The [[Continental Security Organization]], with the exception of [[South Granzery]], also supplied Luepolan and Vorochian forces with weapons, ammunition, and advisors deployed to Bosunija. In addition, the TBN Military Exercise hosted in [[Apelia]] in 1983, which brought the CSO and CPCA to the brink of war, forced Vierzland to withdraw units from Luepola to deploy to the Apelian border in anticipation of a possible war, relieving pressure on Luepolan and Vorochian forces and enabling them to mount a sweeping counteroffensive. Though never officially acknowledged as such, the timing of the exercise is widely recognized to have been a deliberately calculated geopolitical maneuver by the CSO.

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.
