The Amand War of Independence, also known as the Amand Revolutionary War, was a political, social, and cultural revolution against the colonial Sarbéliard Monarchy of Blayk between 1801 and 1807. The revolutionary Republic of the Amands achieved independence, having successfully severed ties with the long ruling Kingdom of Blayk.
Resentment toward Blaykish rule heightened during the War of Tyrnican Succession. Nominally ruled under the Blaco-Vervillian Union, the Low Crown Colonies had been administered by Vervillia since their founding in 1510. However, the War of Tyrnican Succession saw Blayk side with Tyrnica against Vervillia, splitting the Union apart. As a consequence of Blayk’s victory, Vervillia ceded the Low Crown Colonies to Blayk. To address the debt accrued during the War, the Chaudoir Monarchy levied significant taxes on their acquired possessions. The increase in taxes alone sparked protest, but the subsequent increase in direct administration from Blayk to enforce the taxes drove frustrations. Chaudoir-installed courts and legislatures began to systematically discriminate against Vervillians, such as punitive property transfers and exclusive land rights to Blaykish settlers.
The Rythenean Revolution (1790 to 1793) accelerated anti-Blaykish sentiments through the ideas of republicanism. With the overthrow of the Rythenean monarchy for the liberal ideals of the Republic, subjects in the Low Crown Colonies began to consciously associate Blaykish monarchical rule with tyranny. Stories of the war disseminated across the colonies, with the veterans of the war becoming symbols of resistance to the perceived Blaykish oppression. In 1796, aristocrat, socialite, and polymath Charles Belmont led the first formal rebellion. Not ideologically-driven, the Rebellion of 1796, or locally coined the Belmont Revolution, saw widespread destruction of government property in northern towns and ports. It was swiftly trounced; among many uncaptured co-conspirators, Belmont fled to Rythene for safety. The succeeding Sarbéliard Monarchy imposed punitive legislation to quell lingering sites of violence. Namely, the Immunity Act of 1799 and the Agricultural Privileges and Means Act of 1799 condemned the Vervillian subjects to second-class citizenship for their disproportionate support for the Belmont Revolution. Efforts were made to demographically transform the Low Crown Colonies through Blaykish immigration via the Marceaunian Emigration Acts of 1800.
Open warfare reignited in 1801 in response to mandatory conscription in the Blaykish Civil War. With the Sarbéliard Monarchy struggling against the republicans, subjects in the Low Crown Colonies were required to participate to bolster their numbers. Riots proceeded. Fighting quickly became organized upon Charles Belmont’s return. In 1802, the revolutionaries declared the Republic of Amands in Piaget. The Blaykish Monarchy was displaced by the Republic, having relocated to Tyrnica, so the War goals focused on a policy of attrition to continue the conflict until the revolutionaries ran out of supplies. The Amand revolutionaries spent the War’s duration claiming loyalist strongholds and securing the coasts. Robert Morris’ Free Audonian Army provided significant relief that extended Amand war logistics. Meanwhile, high rates of smuggling between the Amand government and sympathizers in New Blayk and Sainte-Bapiste, as well as Nova Kovaria, kept the revolutionary efforts afloat.
By 1805, the War of Independence was largely concluded, with the Storming of Nouvelle Valden. The Treaty of Priscille was signed in 1807, putting an end to all conflict and recognizing the independence of the Republic of the Amands. The Treaty of Rue Blanc was signed with the Republic of Rythene, where both republics normalized relations. Throughout the conflict, Vervillian revolutionaries actively targeted Blaykish individuals as counter revolutionaries or pro-Sarbéliardists. The National Consensus was a great purge that lasted from 1806 to 1809, extending beyond the War of Independence into a radical phase of post-war governance.
