The First Petrines Crisis also known as the First Pirivenes Crisis, the First Petrines Campaign, the Marolev-Pirievine War or officially The Armed Conflict Against Syndicalists in the Petrines Islands was a invasion by the Empire of All-Marolevs of the Marolev Syndicalist Union on the Petrine Islands, fought from April 1977 to July of 1977. The invasion was a horrific failure by Marolevia, having lost tens of thousands of soldiers in several failed air borne landings and amphibious assaults for negligible gain, accompanied with unexpected resistance from both the islands inhabitants and the Syndicalist Forces there dragged the expected three week campaign on for a whole year despite the apparent advantages Marolevia had in terms of air strikes, artillery, firepower, and material factors. By July of 1978, the demoralized forces of Marolevia began deserting and Vlazselo quickly sued for peace resulting in the First Bulfawst Accords, bringing the conflict to a close, and establishing the Pirievines as a separate state and establishing a ceasefire with Marolev Troops evacuating islands under the control of the Pirivenes by August.
The Official figure for casualties on both sides is heavily disputed with Marolevia claiming7,822 Killed or Missing, and 21,544 Wounded while the Pirievines place the total number closer to forty thousand. Pirievines numbers are harder to figure out as the official figure does not include contributions by the various militia groups, officially only claiming 1,544 Killed and 5,672 Wounded with no figures given for militias while the Marolev Estimate is closer to twenty thousand total casualties. Civilian casualties range from between 20,000 killed and 100,000 killed with up to several hundred thousand injured and at least 200,000 civilians displaced.
