The Belkan War, also known in Viresian as La Guerre Belkane is a large-scale, albeit brief, anterian conflict taking place in early 1994. Belka forced its independence through violence against the Empire of Vilera and also a few former Belkan territories. Belka's aim in this war was to force its independence through another monarchy, then deciding to turn it into a republic. It is also during this war that Operation Marshals, also known as the Duel of the Marshals is said to have taken place right after the peace Treaty of Orelia.
Background

Main article: Belkan independence sentiment
In August 1991, the Imperial Government decided, by the demand from the Grand Duke of Belka at the time, Friedrich I, to hold a referendum for a transition to an independent Belka.

The vote was held between the 31st of June to the 31st of November 1991, it was a majority of 93.8% for a yes and the transition began the day right after and was said to take about 5 years for complete independence including international recognition, this is when the Nationalist Party of Belka (BNP) started to make itself known, it's a right-wing conservative political party that was created in 1967, when democracy first arrived in the Belkan border. It always possessed a loyal following even now and really became a major player when they proposed the referendum.
By 1993, the BNP divided into 2 factions, the Moderates, also known as the "Panthers" and the Extremists, Ultranationalists, also known as the "Tigers".
