The Beatavic Civil War was an armed conflict in Beatavic that started on June 5th 1998 and ended on November 25th 2002. It was fought between the Beatavician Government, Beatavician Nationalists and Berganzi separatists. The conflict ended in Government victory.

The Nationalists became prominent in Beatavician politics during the Chezian War in 1992, known for discriminating Syrarantoans, Artaskans and would rarely engage in discriminating against Constantioans. This would continue until the end of the Chezian War in 1997 when the Beatavic Government had begun to arrest nationalists for crimes ranging from hate speech to 1st & 2nd degree murder. Berganzi nationalists would also begin to participate in riots in cities including Rouville and Sassagna. On June 5th 1998 the Nationalists would ambush a group of Beatavician soldiers, officially kickstarting the Beatavic Civil War. Approximately 30 minutes later Berganzio declared independence with the secessionists holding Sassagna, taking Rouville hours later.

Background

Nationalism in Beatavic dates back to 1820 when the country declared independence from Constantio however after the war of independence, nationalism declined and would become prominent again in 1951 after the Battle of Port Badmun, however after the end of the war in 1954, nationalism would once again decline and wouldn't become prominent in Beatavic politics until the Chezian war in 1992 and would remain prominent in Beatavic politics after the end of the Chezian war in 1995 with tensions being high between the Beatavic Government and Nationalists, throughout 1996, 1997 and 1998, foreigners in Beatavic, specifically Artaskans, Syrarantoans and rarely Constantioans would face discrimination and some would be murdered. On June 5th 1998, approximately 10 Nationalists would ambush 5 Beatavician soldiers, murdering 3 and capturing 2, with the two being killed shortly after, officially starting the Beatavic Civil War.
