The Red Revolt

Throughout Fresia’s existence there have been socialists, the concept wasn't popular until the First Industrial Bloom in 1780 and again in 1880 where Ezenchian socialist influence created the Free Motherland Front. In 1932, a Socialist revolution known as the Red Revolt broke out due to worker abuse, layoffs and cut wages, the revolt started with a large protest against the companies who have done massive layoffs which were met with hostilities from the police and military which lead to a riot leaving 28 injured and 5 dead, though the protesters had temporarily dispersed they would reform and rally several more protests until in December spur on by Ezenchian socialist influence and supplied by Ezenchia started a civil war against the Fresian Confederacy. During the civil war, the police secretly sided with the FMF to protect the civilian population and several officers supply the socialist with information about troop movement in an effort in spite of the military interfering in a civilian matter. There were several battles that were fought in bloody trench warfare with some being the Battle of Stêdandegutar, Battle of Nardmarste, Siege of Fort Ferbining, and Battle of Nij Dorestate, but after 4 years both sides came to a cease-fire but a settlement was never agreed upon, the violence against the civilian population by the republican government to suppress the revolt was met with public outcry, which rallied other parties to publically condemn the Republicans and demand more humane treatment to the socialist and communist but the Republicans refused these conditions aiming for more crackdowns for socialists and their associates setting in place the first domino for the 1937 Purple Revolt.
