The Bourgougian Civil War (25 August 1987 – 12 May 2003) was an intense military conflict which took place in Bourgougia from 1987 to 2003. It began following Bourgougia's defeat to Carloso and Agostinia in the Bourgougian Blitz. After the execution of Supreme Leader Régis Lemaigre by the forces of General Léonard Joubert, the country quickly spiralled into widespread disorder. Military commanders carved parts of the country up amongst themselves, fighting with each other and the central government in Antilet for control of the country. In the early 1990s, the virulently anti-communist and revanchist Récompense movement gained strength, as well as more moderate democratic forces known as L'Intransigeant. The leader of Récompense, a former army colonel named Otes Leclair, declared himself President of Bourgougia. Amidst widespread fighting and famine, over five million Bourgougian civilians were killed. Moderate, social democratic forces eventually prevailed in 2003, seizing control of Antilet.
