The Second Insurrection (Brumenese: Zweiter Aufstand) was a period of political and societal turmoil that engulfed the entire nation of Brumen during the early and middle 19th century. It was also an undeclared civil war between those that were loyal to the Monarch of Brumen (referred to as Loyalist Forces) and various insurrectionist factions comprised primarily of peasants led by members of the middle-class such as merchants, artisans & scholars who were not of noble descent. Historians have generally agreed that the primary cause of the Second Insurrection was a due to a combination of various political, social & economic factors. For the peasants the continued usage and enhancement of feudal practices angered an already large and suppressed population. For the merchants, artisans & scholas, it was due to their demands for more participation in their country's governance. Prior to the insurrection, only the Monarch and members of the nobility were able to actively participate in the governing of Brumen. Members of the Oberhaus, the Kingdom's unicameral legislative body, was elected only by members of the nobility. All other classes of society were not permitted to take part in the election process but were expected to abide by all laws passed by the Oberhaus and the Monarch.
