The Canadian Civil War, also known as the Canadian War or the Canadian Coup was an armed conflict fought across the 2030's. It was fought between two main armed factions across the entire country . The Royalists were made up of several armies and governing parties that were support of King Charles III and the British monarchy. These groups fought against the Republicans, an alliance of connivance between the self declared Republic of Canada and several independence movements such as in Alberta and Quebec. The war was seen as the first break between European-American relations, as both sides were supported via proxy by the USA and many European monarchies. While the early war saw resounding victories by the Republican Armies, the Royalists, with supply assistance from Japan and the United Kingdom, were able to win the war after 12 years of hard fighting.

The war was started after several Generals who were sympathetic to the then Pro-Republican protests declared that the Canadian Parliament obsolete in an attempted coup d'tat. The then government was led by Marc Moulette and was made up a coalition of liberals and right-wing monarchists which proved to unstable and unproductive in parliament. These groups made up the initial royalist forces, until its collapse and reorganization into the CRF by Jacob Barron in 2035. The main republican army was the self declared Republic of Canada led by President Simeon Granger, a former Member of Parliament and close ally of the generals who preformed the coup d'tat. These forces were initially supported by the Republic of Quebec and Alberta until 2038, when the Republic of Canada turned on their allies and begin the Quebec War against Quebec Nationalists.

Background

Death of Queen Elizabeth II

On May 14 2023, Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom and the Queen of Canada, died in her sleep at the age of 98 in Windsor Castle. As per British Tradition, her first born son, Prince Charles, became the King Charles III. This change in monarch is commonly seen by historians as the first domino that led to the Canadian Civil War, due to how unpopular Charles III was to both the British public but also the Canadian public. Republicanism had been growing in Canada slowly over the previous few decades, mostly under the Anti-Monarchy Allience (AMA). The AMA was able to even get 3 MP's elected in 2019 due to this rise in popularity. After the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the movement saw record numbers of membership as many people were extremely put off by their new King, especially in the face of the upcoming election.

2023 Election

The Canadian 2023 election was held on October 24 2023 to elect 44th Canadian Parliament. It saw a hung parliament as the AMA picked up 73 seats, thus preventing the previously governing liberals to not be able to form a majority government. During the campaign, several Royalist and Anti-Royalists rallies turned violent, with clashes between protesters and the police forces in many major cities. While the Liberal and New Democratic Party tried to avoid the question of the monarchy during the debates and at rallies, other parties like the Conservatives and the Bloc Quebecois passed party motions during their national conventions establishing their parties official postion. After the election, the Liberals took a pro-monarchy postion as they chose to form a government with the Royalists and Conservatives, whom shared similar views on the issue as them. This gave them a very tiny majority of 1, making the parliament gridlocked for most major issues presented towards it during its tenure. Despite these political shortcomings and parliamentary woes, the government was able to stay afloat for nearly its entire duration, with its last budget failing to pass in May of 2027.

Crash of '26

In September of 2026, the Toronto Stock Exchange collapsed due to increasingly decreasing price in oil. Several major oil companies based in Alberta went bankrupt, causing a chain reaction across the country which led to the near total collapse of the Canadian economy. While the incumbent government tried to pass reforms before and after the collapse, its slim majority prevented any meaningful changes to the industry. With the economy in total crisis, several international powers attempted to vie for power by sending loans and bailouts to the bankrupt companies, holding them to accountable to the loaner nations

Northwest Passage Crisis

Due to rising temperatures in the arctic, the winter of 2026 was the first year that major parts of the north were ice free year round. This meant that the Northwest Passage was now a viable shipping path to Asia for Europe and America. The Canadian had claimed that these waters were part of their EEZ and thus are part of their internal waters. Several European governments and the United States claim that they it is an international strait, making it open to international shipping for all nations. Political and International debates on the issue of the NWP were usually held in a more theoretical situation and manner, as the NWP was still frozen over for most of the year. After the first ice free winter however, the debate heated up again as both the international community and the UN scrambled to find a solution before states took matters into their own hands. After several major accidents in the region, support from many former allies had almost entirely dropped for Canada

Republican Protests

After several months of economic stagnation and anger towards the current government for supporting both the Monarchy and for its lack of any real saving of the Canadian economy, several anti-royalist groups started to protest in major Canadian cities, calling for the abolition of the Canadian Monarchy.

Third and final day of the battle. Notice C Company surrendering at City Center Airport

In the initial weeks of the war, it seemed as if little to no combat would occur in anywhere with major populations. The Royalists stationed most of their troops in the countryside to protect the outskirts of major cities still loyal to them, like Calgary, London, Toronto and Vancouver. Republican General Chris Tremen had gotten intel that the Royalist Forces in Toronto were lacking, with only the 48th Highlander Battalion stationed in the city, as the Royal Army moved the rest of the 32nd Brigade Group out of the city. With only 570 men split into 3 companies ready to defend, the Republicans saw an opportunity. At the dawn of June 23, 2031, 3 Battalions of 2,300 men landed on the shores of Sunside and Woodbine and quickly moved onto the city. On the second day, they had completely encircled C Company ,who were holding the City Centre Airport, and were engaging A and B company in Etobicoke and the city centre. Despite the resistance of the 48th Battalion, it would be only 3 days until they either surrendered or fell back and formed up with the rest of 32 Brigade Group. By June 27th the city was firmly in Republican hands.
