The Ankoreni Revolutionary War (Ankoreni: Ankorenı Devrimci Savaşı) was a conflict fought between the Ankoreni Union and Lyonsland and Luziyca between the 9 December 1923 and 5 May 1926. The war began with units of the Islamic Revolutionary Army, storming the Luziycan concession ports in south-western Ankoren, seizing control of offices and various commercial districts - though without the permission of the revolutionary government in Estanban. Following the Ashura Revolution in August of the same year, the revolutionary government struggled to contain revolutionary fervour towards the colonial holdings across southern Ankoren. Following the siezure of the Luzicyan possessions, the revolutionary government fearing a coup by the IRA declared war on Lyonsland and launched a full-scale offensive against Lyonese Ankoren.

Over the next two years, the Ankorenis pushed the well-armed and trained Lyonese forces back towards the city of Afordybh. Whilst the IRA was substantially inferior to the Lyonese in training and armaments, its weight of sheer numbers eventually enabled the revolutionary forces to surround Afordybh, however due to the weight of the war the country entered a chronic shortage of food, leading to the 1925-26 Famine which killed over 500,000 civilians. Unable to sustain the war effort due to the famine and growing resentment towards the revolution and the impending arrival of the Lyonese Army and Navy, the revolutionary government sued for peace.

On 5 May 1926, revolutionary Ankoren signed the Treaty of Zahedan with Lyonsland and Luziyca - in which the Union formally annexed Lyonese Ankoren and Luziycan possessions except for Jinalut and Afordybh - the latter remaining the sole non-Ankoreni territory on the Ankoreni mainland. The war succeeded in reclaiming 98% of colonial holdings in Ankoren, securing and solidifying the revolutionary government's control over the country. The war partially weakened Lyonsland's position within Nautasia, with the country now depending solely on the city of Afordybh and Khazrajistan to project power on the continent.
