The Nuxican Revolution (Floren: Revolució Nuxicana), also known as the Great Chaos (Floren: Gran Caos), the Lost Fifteen (Floren: Els Quinze Perduts) or the Nuxican Civil War (Floren: Guerra Civil Nuxicana) was a major civil, military, and political struggle in Nuxica fought from 1915 to 1928. Nuxican Army forces -- known as the Federals -- loyal to the centre-right government, in an alliance with the right-wing to far-right National Front for Traditional Rights and Piety -- known as the Blancs -- from 1920 onward, against a revolt against the far-left umbrella organization United Army of the Labor Class -- known as the Vermells.
The conflict ended with the execution of Biel Izaguerri and the creation of the constitution of 1928, drafted, passed, and promulgated by both the Federals and the Blancs, effectively installed an authoritarian government under significant sway of the Nuxican Armed Forces. The war was both politically and economically destructive, shattering existing political norms and leading directly to the 1929 Nuxican coup d'etat.
The conflict began when government forces under the authority of President Aquilles Pintà i Puigdellivol crushed a general strike in the city of Estancaja, prompting the Nuxican Revolutionary League, the Syndicalist Party of Nuxica, and the Social Democratic Labor Party to arm themselves and unite under the United Red Army of the Labor Class (Floren: Exèrcit Roig Unit de la Classe Treballadora; ERUCdT), led by revolutionary communist Biel Izaguerri. Establishing the Nuxican Socialist Soviet Republic in Estancaja the ERUCdT, now known as the Vermells, Reds, or Red Army, engaged in fierce fighting with the government while also attacking both Catholics, the Solarian Catholic Church, and much of the traditional values still making up Nuxican society. These events prompted Bishop Moisès Utge along with leaders of the Catholic-interest party National Action, Aleix Arqués and Raimon Guillaum to lead an armed counter-rebellion against the Estancaja government. Uniting with other local groups and Catholic sympathizers the leading triumvirate of the counter-rebellion declared an alternative government, known as the Nuxican State.
Red Army forces initially made rapid gains against government forces in industrialized areas of northern and western Nuxica, the government maintained control of major population centers of the western coast and south, and the Blancs secured control over much of the central areas of the country. Having a major advantage in terms of numbers and the element of surprise, Red Army forces took the cities of Nagua, Semeca, San Peluca, and El Tumcualpa during the 1915 fall offensive, besieging San Ferteli and forcing a general retreat of government forces to the west.
