The Second Arcandian Revolution (1873–1875) was a successful independence movement in Arcandias, fueled by the rise of a new class of wealthy businessmen and backed by influential local elites. The revolution sought to control Arcandias' lucrative trade in luxury goods and rare minerals from Terra Argo colinizers. Unlike the failed First Arcandian Revolution, which had been undermined by a lack of resources and support, the Second Revolution was carefully planned and funded, resulting in the successful liberation of two of Arcandias' three main islands in 1875. The final island remained under colonial control until 1922, when a series of negotiations and financial buyouts brought the islands together under a unified Arcandias for the first time.
