The Crethian War for Independence or the Fourth Crethian Uprising was a guerrilla war fought in Crethia from 1913 to 1918. It was fought between Crethian separatist paramilitary groups and the Kingdom of Hallania. The conflict coincided with the Continental War and is considered a part of the the Hallanic Wars, which occurred in the post-war period. The war ended with Crethia being granted its independence as a republic, the result of the Crethian Civil War which saw royalist and republican nationalist factions fight among themselves.
The war began amid growing opposition to Hallanic participation in the Continental War. The opposition was led by prominent Crethian nationalists, who had been allowed to participate openly in Crethian politics and the public sphere following the end of de-Celticization in 1872. The revolt first began in 1913 when a general strike was called by the Crethian Trade Union Confederation in opposition to conscription policies. The Hallanic government violently cracked down on the picketers, resulting in the Battle of Kongens Have. Left-wing paramilitaries organized after the violent confrontation. They were supported by nationalists from many different political backgrounds and more paramilitary groups began to form. A royalist government-in-exile was set up in support of Margaret of Donhaven's claim in 1914 and a rival republican group emerged later that year. These groups often targeted Hallanic soldiers, police officers, and government officials. This resulted in reprisal attacks from the government, resulting in the Torching of Rokesborg. Civil disobedience was commonly used by separatists throughout the war, with a notable example being Crethian ferrymen refusing the transport Hallanic troops or supplies.
