The Second Kasai War was a military conflict in the Central Karana Basin in 1950s. A major early part of the Unifying Revival, it saw the attempt of 29th Governorate of Airashe to expand the territories under its protection by establishing protectorate over the 12th Governorate downstream Karana river. This met resistance from the 6th Governorate further downstream, resulting in a series of military confrontations interrupted by rainfall seasons. After several military defeats, the Airashe Governorate was forced to abandon their operations, and the resulting peace treaty solidified the right bank of lower Karana Basin under control of the 6th Governorate.
The war got its name from the nearby major inlet of Karana, Kasai river, confluent with Karana at the territory of 12th Governorate. It marked one of the several border conflicts of the Revival.
