The Vallmo Uprising
Before the uprising
During the reign of King Bo I in the 1830s unions would start to expand outside coastal areas and into the growing urban centers around Blostland, having a powerful influence over the mistreated working class.
With the birth of the “National Union Movement” in 1844 Union supporters in Blostland would be embracing the radical elements around them taking example from revolutions in Euclea to inspire their own, the most radical of these revolutionaries would move out to the countryside in Färmark building a socialist army.
The government would catch wind of all this left wing organizing and would start to crack down on the BNUM driving National Unionists from the city in large groups, these groups would find themselves under the protection of the radicals who the government would declare too dangerous to reason with, sending the military to arrest them all.
At Olof Ranch military forces numbering around 500 would fight against 921 rebels most of which consisted of wanted National Unionists, although outgunned the rebels had a impressive number of old rifles which allowed the group to last 2 days at the ranch and 8 days on the run before finally surrendering.
Military casualties would be estimated around 12 dead and 15 wounded the rebels would have 29 dead and the remnants suffering from various injuries, while the event which would be called the “Long March” would inspire radicals around Blostland it would also kill the National Union Movement leaving the scene open for a new unifying organization.
Only six years later would Vallmopartei form galvanizing the fractured left once again, by this point absolutism had grown unpopular amongst the entire island and the party found itself in a powerful position in the city’s unable to be rooted out like its predecessor.
By 1887 the party would be organizing almost every major union in the country and would have around a 1,500 registered members.
