The Volgan War of Liberation was a military conflict fought from June 1856 to May 1860 in which Reikland's colonial holdings in Northwestern Gwaii were overthrown by the recently formed nation of Volgorodov.
The Reikish defeat in the Reikish-Norcourtian War of 1846 encouraged many uprisings in the late 1850s and into the 1860s. Among these were the Volgan Wars of Unification, which had succeeded in uniting most of the Volgan tribes into a new Volgan nation in 1850. When the Reikish were defeated in Norcourt, the Volgans saw an opportunity to liberate the last of their ancestral lands from foreign rule.
For Reikland, the war was yet another embarrassment. Too little time had passed between the Norcourtian War and the Volgan War for any reforms to be made. The Reikish leadership in the Volgan Colonies were aristocratic officers, selected because of personal ties to the Governor, Dean Phillips. the single bright spot was Colonel Alexander Howe, a ranker who recieved a commission for meritorious service in the Norcourtian War. Colonel Howe would prove to be the only successful Army officer the Reikish had in the war.
