The '''Hegyhát Wars''' were a series of three wars fought during the Proto-Imperial Era primarily between the [[Hegyhat Empire]] and a variety of tribes for control over the [[Imperial South]].

Both wars were fought by the highly organized Empire against a variety of unorganized disparate tribes in an effort to expand their control. The first war was fought over control of the areas of [[Hegyhat]] and [[Kaposvar]]. The second war was fought over the control of the Sivatag region, which now includes the counties of Nagykallo and Kiskallo.

These wars have all began typically without a {{wpl|casus belli}}, with the Hegyhat Empire being the aggressor each time.  
The First Hegyhát War started as a direct consequence of the [[Doryottan Kidnappings]], a series of {{wpl|mass abductions}} committed by the Hegyhát against the [[Duchy of Kaposvár]], the [[Kingdom of Tapolca]] and the [[Kingdom of Szada]]. These mass abductions targeted males within these tribes, where the female Hegyhát would abduct and {{wpl|forced marriage|forcibly marry}} them. Within [[Hegyhát matriarchy]], social rules dictated that men who are married to women lose their independence as people and turn into property of the women. Rules regarding marriage within the Hegyhát Empire stated that women could marry multiple men, but men could only marry one woman. The women who participated in these kidnappings were often single and looking for men. The First Hegyhát War was an escalation of the kidnappings, and [[Doryotta II]] called for an all out invasion of these tribes. The [[Kingdom of Csemő]] and the [[State of Vasad]] assisted the united front against the Hegyhát Empire, but were eventually collectively defeated at the [[Battle of Mezőcsát]].  


The Third Hegyhát War began with a Hegyhát invasion of the [[Imperial Central]], crossing the [[Csóványos Line]] and beginning the [[Storming of Kossuth]]. The invasion was precipitated over increasingly bitter negoigations between the Hegyhát and the Jenő over refugees and migrants coming from the Imperial South towards the cities of [[Kossuth]] and [[Ásotthalom]]. Word of the invasion spread quickly and the [[Eastern Kingdom]] sought to provide military aid. Furhter support was given by the [[Northern Coalition]].


The first two wars began on orders of the [[Empress of Hegyhat]] that caused the Hegyhat Empire to garner an extremely negative reputation as untrustworthy. The Third Hegyhat War also began on orders of the Empress of Hegyhat to address concerns of ethnic [[Hegyhat people]] and their treatment by the Jeno. The invasion caused a suddern outpour of support from the Felfold Confederation, the Northern Coalition and the Eastern State, three powerful countries that helped the Jeno Coalition against the Hegyhat Empire.
The Hegyhát Wars had reverberating effects on the Imperial South and the Imperial Central. Within the Imperial South, demographic changes primarily affected non-Hegyhát tribes, primarily the initial five tribes that opposed the Hegyhát Empire in the First Hegyhát War. Two tribes, the [[Székely people|Székely]] and the [[Hajmáskér people|Hajmáskér]] saw total extinction of their female population due to the [[Orsolyan Genocide]], as their tribes were targeted by [[Orsolya I]], the [[Empress of Hegyhát]].  
 
The [[First Hegyhat War]] and the [[Second Hegyhat War]] were both considered to be total Hegyhat victories against the disorganized tribes and the annexation of tribal territories. The Hegyhat victories solidified the position of the Hegyhat as the most powerful state within the Proto-Imperial Era until their defeat in the [[Third Hegyhat War]]. The loss at the Third Hegyhat War signaled the downfall of the Hegyhat Empire and its inability to truly go against a unified force. After the end of the war, the Hegyhat Empire began to engage in diplomacy.
 
The Hegyhat Wars created huge shifts in culture and demographs within the Imperial South. The annexation of the areas around Kaposvar, Nagykallo and Kiskallo had extremely detrimental effects on the demographics of those regions. [[Hegyhat matriarchy]] on a social scale saw the decreasing female population of certain tribes alongside a rising female Hegyhat population. The most affected by these tribes were the [[Székely people]] and the [[Hajmáskér people]], the Székely females being the primary target of the [[Orsolyan Genocide]] and the Hajmáskér people suffering from the [[Kaposvar Exodus]].

The Hegyhát Wars were a series of three wars fought during the Proto-Imperial between the Hegyhát Empire and a variety of tribes for control over the region of the Imperial South. The First Hegyhát War took place specifically within the eastern region of the Imperial South, and the Second Hegyhát War was fought over the western region of the Imperial South. These two wars have constituted the Southern Conquest that encapsulated the growing expansionism and domination by the Hegyhát Empire. The Third Hegyhát War was the largest of the three where the Hegyhát Empire fought a coalition of allies led by the Jenő Principality, who fought alongside the Eastern Kingdom and various Salgó states with limited involvement by the Northern Coalition.

The First Hegyhát War started as a direct consequence of the Doryottan Kidnappings, a series of mass abductions committed by the Hegyhát against the Duchy of Kaposvár, the Kingdom of Tapolca and the Kingdom of Szada. These mass abductions targeted males within these tribes, where the female Hegyhát would abduct and forcibly marry them. Within Hegyhát matriarchy, social rules dictated that men who are married to women lose their independence as people and turn into property of the women. Rules regarding marriage within the Hegyhát Empire stated that women could marry multiple men, but men could only marry one woman. The women who participated in these kidnappings were often single and looking for men. The First Hegyhát War was an escalation of the kidnappings, and Doryotta II called for an all out invasion of these tribes. The Kingdom of Csemő and the State of Vasad assisted the united front against the Hegyhát Empire, but were eventually collectively defeated at the Battle of Mezőcsát.

The Third Hegyhát War began with a Hegyhát invasion of the Imperial Central, crossing the Csóványos Line and beginning the Storming of Kossuth. The invasion was precipitated over increasingly bitter negoigations between the Hegyhát and the Jenő over refugees and migrants coming from the Imperial South towards the cities of Kossuth and Ásotthalom. Word of the invasion spread quickly and the Eastern Kingdom sought to provide military aid. Furhter support was given by the Northern Coalition.

The Hegyhát Wars had reverberating effects on the Imperial South and the Imperial Central. Within the Imperial South, demographic changes primarily affected non-Hegyhát tribes, primarily the initial five tribes that opposed the Hegyhát Empire in the First Hegyhát War. Two tribes, the Székely and the Hajmáskér saw total extinction of their female population due to the Orsolyan Genocide, as their tribes were targeted by Orsolya I, the Empress of Hegyhát.
