The Chandan National Revolution, also known as the PLA Civil War, was a period of multi-sided conflict in the West Shalegho Commandery in 1949 with intermittent conflict until 1951. Largely conducted between various factions of the People's Liberation Army of Chanda, it largely did not involve the civilian population except when pro-Republican militias joined the war. As a result, it is usually described by academics as a "low-level war". It began when Republican PLA forces arrested the leadership of the Satrian PLA and Pardal PLA factions in an attempt to prevent an escalation of violence between the two. However it resulted in their factions to engage in open warfare against each other and the Republican PLA. The conflict is usually considered to have ended with the Chandan Brotherhood Agreement between the remnants of dissent PLA forces and the Republicans. The Revolution occurred as part of the Chandan Republican Revolution; the period of nationbuilding by the Five Leaders of Chanda in order to create a Republic.
