Upon the accession of Bern I to the throne in 1914 left the country with an inept ruler who fired any advisors who disagreed with him. As well the Economy had been failing due to heavy tariffs laid upon agriculture exports in the late days of Kaiser XXIII, and a decision Bern I decided to uphold. However Bern I listened to his wife, Gloria Borger, who was a Northern Princess Bern I had fallen in love with. She was incredibly adept and was able to keep the country together. She reduced tariffs, appointed smart advisors, and was able to reduce the size of the army for the first time in 200 years not due to war. However, she died in 1919 after dying of a stroke which many attributes to her stress from being the sole leader of Gjorka. Bern I fired most of the competent advisors due to them disagreeing, and he put tariffs up to 100% for all exports. He also doubled the size of the army and gave them much more power. The situation could no last, but the straw was finally broken when he announced that the incredibly popular minimum wage law passed in 1889, at 0.80 cents every two hours, would be repealed. Protests broke out across Gjorka but most heavily in Gjorka City. Bern, terrified of losing power, ordered the Army to fire on protesters. Many Army Units, who were facing bad economic situation just as the protesters, refused the order, and joined with the protesters. Many Army Units did follow the order. Hundreds of protesters were killed in the ensuing violence. The Revolting Army units prepared to storm the Royal Palace under the leadership of revolting General Kai Zhusav. The Remaining Loyal Units under Adovlimir Lenitler. About 250 Loyal Soldiers were prepared to defend against the force of 500 Revolting Soldiers. Carl Maxiumus who lead most of the protesters arrived at the palace first where the protesters were under fire from the Palace Guards. Several Attempts to storm the palace failed, and lead to hundreds more dead. Many attempted to leave but were cut off by the Revolting Divisions. Many more protesters were killed in the crossfire between the Revolutionary Soldiers and the Loyal Soldiers. However, the Revolutionary Soldiers were able to storm the gates and enter the Royal Palace. 117 Loyal Soldiers were killed before they surrendered. Bern I was found attempting to escape and shot on sight, Adovlimir Lenitler was executed, and the King's most loyal advisor, Sven Munas killed himself for the soldiers reached him. Carl Maxiumus proclaimed the Socialist Republic, but had to enter negotiations with Kai Zhusav about securing the rest of the country. The Negotiations reached a standstill, and Zhusav got very annoyed. On the Final Days, Maxiumus said it was either total revolution or Zhusav would be killed. Zhusav had Maxiumus killed, and his soldiers arrested his remaining supporters. The War to secure the rest of the Nation was very brief and resulted in 1,000 deaths in total. However, the 1920 Revolution had over 5,000 Deaths. The Socialist Republic was established as a dictatorship under Zhusav.
