The Battle of Cansporonne (Gaullican: Bataille de Cansporonne, Soravian: Битва при Канспоронні; Bytva pry Kansporonni, Miersan: Bitwa pod Kansporan/Drawno), also known in Soravia as Operation Purity (Soravian: Операція Чистота; Operatsiya Chystota) or Operation Bonfire (Gaullican: Opération feu) in Gaullica was a large-scale military engagement between Soravia and Functionalist Gaullica between April 7 and April 21, 1934. It was the largest battle of the Horn Offensive by personnel count, and also resulted in the largest capture of prisoners-of-war in the Euclean theatre of the conflict, with around 200,000 being imprisoned after the battle.
