The Hódítók Disunity, also known as the Kaposvár War was a war between the Empire and the breakaway state of the Balaton-Hévíz Kingdom, which declared its independence in 1733. The war lasted from 1733 to 1740, after the end of the Siege of Óbudavár and the execution of the king of the Balaton-Hévíz Kingdom, Polgárdy Hadik. The war was primarily fought within the Megyek of Kőszeg, Szeged, Hévíz, Kossuth, Ásotthalom, Kaposvár, and Hegyhát. The Hódítók Disunity was considered to be Zgismond I's crowning achievement in his meddling emperorship, however the aftereffects of the war left widescale issues that the Empire was not able to properly handle.
The war had been precipitated by years of political tension and stagnation surrounding migration from the Imperial West to the Imperial South. During the beginning of the 1700's, migrations of Balaton and Hévíz people began towards the Imperial South, particularly from the Imperial Megyek of North Balaton, West Tolna and South Balaton towards Hegyhát and Kaposvár. The Imperial Diet, when raised with the issue of the Balaton-Hévíz migration, continued to stall. This led to the local populations in conflict with the Balaton and Hévíz migrants. The local populations consisted of Hegyhát, Kaposvár and Székely people, most of which were unfriendly to the new migrants. Within the Imperial Diet, almsot all of the noble houses supported the local populations, with the exception of the Hévíz Noble House of Hunyadi.
Legal measures began to be enforced on the new settlements, as they were considered to be under the direct rule of the Hegyhát Noble House of Hegedüs. These measures included heightened taxes on Balaton and Hévíz merchants to being forcibly migrated by Hegyhát, Kaposvár and Székely locals. Tensions exploded in the village of Szobránc, where the Hegyhát, Kaposvár and Székely locals pillaged the Balaton-Hévíz settlement of Szobránc, known as the Tragedy of Szobránc. Over two hundred Balaton and Hévíz settlers were killed, and over three hundred were displaced. In the aftermath of the massacre, the Balaton-Hévíz Kingdom proclaimed the secession of thirty villages in Hegyhát under the leadership of Polgárdy Hadik, a farmer and survivor claiming descendence from the House of Barkóczy who was elected as the leader in the town of Pálóc.
The war began with the Empire's military response two weeks after the proclamation of secession. By this time, the popularity of the Kingdom became known in the Imperial West and Imperial South, where it embraced the ideology of Lázadó, or Anti-Imperial sentimentality. Over two hundred other villages proclaimed secession from the Empire and towards the Kingdom, bolstering numbers and areas. The two theaters in the war were the Northern Theater and the Eastern Theater.
The Imperial military response in the Northern Theater was hampered by issues surrounding military tactics. The Kingdom couldn't afford to use traditional military tactics that led to a prolonged war, as the Kingdom relied on peasant militias, conscripts and mercenaries. Guerrilla tactics were utilized by the Kingdom to a varying degree of success. The Kingdom found more success in the Eastern Theater towards the Imperial South. The Northern theater soon became somewhat inconclusive, while confusion and issues surrounding military leadership led to a number of defeats from the inconpetencies of the Imperial Army. In particular, the Third Imperial Southern Army and the Second Imperial Eastern Army saw important defeats in the Battle of XXXX and the Battle of YYYY. Zoltán Losonczy and János Rakovszky were two notable Salgo generals who helped drill and train the Monarchial Army.
On XXX in 1740, the Empire emerged victorious after the Siege of Óbudavár, which ended in the capturing of Polgárdy Hadik and the majority of the Kingdom's political leaders, with the exception of László Peidl and Ferenc Dénes. After taking Óbudavár, Zgismond I and the Imperial Diet called for the immediate execution of the Kingdom's political leaders, hoping to make an example out of them. The end of the war began the ongoi Anti-Imperial sentiment with the rise of a new Anti-Imperial group, the Az Igazak. Additionally, the war in the Imperial South saw complete devestation in the aftermath. The infrastructure of the Imperial West and the Imperial South saw total devestation. The megyek of Hegyhát and Kaposvár saw the majority of devestation, where agricultural prospects was damaged and much of the travel & trading infrastructure was completely destroyed. These after-effects began the Southern Crisis, a humanitarian crisis where many inhavitants fled from the Imperial South towards the Imperial Central. While the war was ultimately an Imperial victory, the Empire was left with a large humanitarian crisis it was unprepared to handle. The quality and preformance of the Empire's military was called into scrutiny. Initially believed to be an easy victory, the war bogged down quickly and saw the Kingdom win against the Empire several times. The performance in the Eastern theater was particularly criticized due to the lack of cohesion between the commanders and the noble houses. The failueswere considered to be humiliating, and several noble houses have since petitioned for a military reform.
