The Tengarian Civil War (Tengarian: Гражданска Война Тенгария) was a civil war in Tengaria from November 1955 to November 1957, fought between Tengarian Restorationist government, the Republicans, and the proclaimed People's Republic of Tengaria. Concern over the popular election of a pro-Monarchist government and the subsequent assasination of the Restorationist President Dimitri Denov led to the proclamation of two rival Republics against the government, which escalated into armed conflict after the new governments refused to yield.
The Loyalists consistently outnumbered, outgunned and outmanuevered the Republicans and the Labour Front. The liberal factions also lacked popular support, often resorting to killing political opponents to keep control of their occupied territory. The Labour Front, lacking a major standing army, turned to guerilla warfare.
