The Hisari Wars were three separate but related armed conflicts: the Hisari-Romellean War (1973-1978) between Hisaristan (supported by Leiden and Dayganistan) and the Socialist Republic of Veliky Belgorod (supported by the People's Republic of Romellea, Veleaz, and the Aeian Socialist Union); the Hisari-Fahrani War (1978-1981) between Hisaristan (supported by Leiden, Dayganistan, and Synnia) and Fahran; and the Second Hisari-Romellean War (1979)) between Hisaristan and Romellea. The wars collectively lasted from 25 August 1973 when Veliky Belgorod declared its independence from Hisaristan to 14 May 1981 when Fahran and Hisaristan signed the Treaty of Sulh.

Hisari-Romellean War

Background

On 10 October 1973 Emperor Khasar declared that he would integrate Hisaristan's various vassal states during the Great Kurultai of 1973. Though the many vassal states of Mikhailoslav and Sarmatistan had largely acted independently of the Hisari Khaans for much of Hisaristan's history, successive rounds of legal, administrative, and military reform aimed at modernizing the Hisari government throughout the 19th and 20th centuries had drastically reduced their autonomy as the Hisari state became increasingly centralized. On 24 October, Khasar announced the implementation of the Khanmaydon Decree which formalized the full integration of Hisaristan's vassal states with a six-month transition period.

Responses to the Khanmaydon Decree were mixed. Liberal reformists and moderate nationalists who supported the devolution of state power to regions such as Mikhailoslav and Rumeliston that did not have a Dehghani majority argued that the Decree would further marginalize religious and cultural minorities and that it was anti-democratic as it was not put to a vote through the Greater Kurultai. Slaviansk separatist groups, many of whom were supported by and sympathetic to the Aeian Socialist Union, were particularly opposed to the decree, as many of them saw it as a precursor to a Dehghani colonization of Mikhailoslav. Irsadist groups were generally supportive of the Decree, though many prominent clerics criticized it for maintaining state-sponsored Alydian Orthodox institutions in Slaviansk vilayets. Dehghanis, Hazarakhanis, and Sükhbaataryn were overwhelmingly in favor of the Decree.

Vocal opposition among Slaviansk regions that were already under government control were generally muted. The reaction in many of the vassal states. however, was outrage as mass demonstrations erupted in cities such as Veliky Belgorod, Valdikhazar, Voskresensk, Novokuznetsk, and Voronezh.
