Kasvukipuja (Kantemoshan: "Growth Pains") is the name given to the roughly four year period of violence and unrest immediately following the secession of the Kantemosha & Ambrazka territories from Soravia during the Sostava War. The conflict was characterized by many different factions coming forward to fight, either for the independence of certain states for ethnic or political reasons, or to compete for dominance over the entire region. Factions rose and fell about every year, with towns changing hands constantly, some cases seeing towns being taken over by three different opposing factions over the course of a day.

The war itself started out as particularly violent civil unrest in cities after the provisional government was announced to be holding initial elections in March of 1983. Key factions, such as the Socialist State of Miravice (SSoM) and the Socialist State of Pemitovo (SSoP), rose up during this phase of the conflict, with entire provinces or cities being claimed as they seized pre-war militia stockpiles and civilian armaments. The Provisional Government of Kantemosha and Ambrazka (Kantemoshan: Kantemossi ja Ambron väliaikainen hallitus), or KjAVH, moved second-line army units, just arrived from securing the borders and fighting for the regions' secession, to put down these revolts, but low morale and lack of belief in the government, who was then believed to be mostly Soravian oligarchs, caused entire units to surrender their arms, vehicles and themselves to these movements, adding fuel to the flames. Over the course of the four years from that point, the regions of Kantemosha and Ambrazka went ablaze as the KjAVH fought to stabilize the country and preserve their grip on power. For three of the four years, the KjAVH's main rivals, the Kantemoshan People's Liberation Movement (Kantemoshan: Kantemoosinin Kansan Vapautusrintama), KKV, and Ambrazkan Revolutionary Movement (Ambrazkan: Ambrohzkovo revolučné hnutie), ARH, impeded its efforts to stabilize the country, before leadership changes and negotiations caused the three to pursue the same goal and effectively become one.

On the 12th of July, 1987, the Koskunen Concordat was signed by the three parties after the major, jointly-conducted Pähkinä Offensive was undertaken successfully, crushing the Holy Path's Armed Front (HPAF). Coalescing the three movements together into the Federal Government of Kantemosha and Ambrazka, the two independent states of Socialist Miravice and Socialist Pemitovo were coerced into being signatories to the treaty at threat of provincial destruction. Following the treaty, resistance by any remaining factions were brutally crushed by the newly formed armed forces of the Union, and by the 25th of September, Kantemoshan authorities announced that armed hostilities had ceased, marking the end of the conflict.
