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 Jahovnik Uprising, the UMSR declared its support for the sizable leftist movement in Jalkolta. The UMSR presented the Jalkoltan government with an ultimatum in June 1947, ordering the government of Joseph Aodoin, which had taken power in the 1927 Jalkoltan Civil War to hold the first election in twenty-one years. Aodoin, aware that an election could see his government dethroned, refused, and, though the distracted Molvanian government seemed content to let the matter rest, Aodoin's violent suppression of a leftist student demonstration in the capital, Jalkoltic, provoked the Grand Presidium of the Union into declaring war.
