The Jalkolta War, known as the War of National Liberation by the post-war Jalkoltan government and commonlyt dubbed the Molvanian War in Balion, was a conflict in the nation of Jalkolta which took place from August 1947 to the Fall of Jalkoltic in April 1950. The war was fought primarily between the UMSR and the Republic of Jalkolta, which relied upon the support of the United States of Balion. The war took place in the direct aftermath of the Second Europan War following the Great Split, a breakdown of relations between the former Allied Powers and the North Europan Pact, which primarily found Molvani and Balion opposed to one another, with the support of if their respective blocs.

Following several pro-leftist demonstrations in Jalkolta and the 1946 UMSR invaded Jalkolta for multiple reasons, the main one being to spread Socialism but also to secure resources that Molvani was in short supply of such as natural gases and rubber. Jalkolta recieved support from Balion, a fellow capitalist nation that wished to halt the spread of socialism in Magna Terra, at the height of fighting, just over 100,000 Balonic troops were deployed in Jalkolta.
