Etymology
History
Main articles: History of Hrvada and Outline of Hrvadan history
Civil War and Reconstruction era
Sectional conflict regarding political representation, provincial rights, and economic disparities between the industrial north and agricultural south ultimately led to the Hrvadan Civil War. Between 3 August and 5 October 1859, five southern provinces (Cvijecia, Juzetarska, Pijemont, Prijat, and Velrika) seceded from the rest of the nation to form Federalist Hrvada; while the central government, known as Council Hrvania, maintained that such actions were illegal.
The first shots of the Civil War were fired on 11 October 1859 near Prolaz, Prijat when Federalist militiamen successfully took over an isolated Council outpost that refused to transfer control to the newly formed Federalist government. Other notable battles and campaigns during the Civil War include: the Battle of Ferfaks on 1 December 1859 when Council troops took control over the city of Ferfaks, Pijemont creating a buffer between the Council capital city of Hrvadagrad and the Federalist army. Stošija's March to the Lakes between February 1860 and March 1861 when Federalist General Denis Stošija marched his army from Kraljev, Pijemont to Ravno, Prerija wrecking havoc across the Council-controlled province of Prerija and cutting Council Hrvada into two separate parts. Darko's Mountain Campaign between January 1861 and November 1861 where Council General Gabrijel Darko halted Federalist efforts to march west into the Council-controlled province of Pustinja while outnumbered and under-supplied. And the Battle of Vukovar on 4 April 1863 where Council troops failed to capture the strategic port city of Vukovar, Juzetarska and set up a foothold on the Juzetarska River.
By late 1863, citing high casualties on both sides as well as a stalemate on all fronts; both sides agreed to the Treaty of Alexandria which mandated a white peace as well as the formation of a Reconstruction Council made up of both Council and Federalist representatives who would be tasked with creating a compromise form of government for Hrvada.
The Hrvadan Reconstruction Council convened following the Treaty of Alexandria on 25 December 1863. Members of the reconstruction council included Federalist Prime Minister Davor Josip, Federalist General Denis Stošija, Council Hrvada President Aljoša Lončar, and others. After more than a year of deliberations on 9 April 1865, the reconstruction council ratified the Constitution of Hrvada. The new "compromise constitution" preserved the Grand Council which Federalists saw as "oligarchic" and "undemocratic", created the democratically elected Sabor which could put checks on the Grand Council, and increased provincial autonomy.
