The Chandan National Revolution, also known as the PLA Civil War, was a period of multi-sided conflict in the West Shalegho Commandery in 1949 with intermittent conflict until 1951. Largely conducted between various factions of the People's Liberation Army of Chanda, it largely did not involve the civilian population except when pro-Republican militias joined the war. As a result, it is usually described by academics as a "low-level war". It began when Republican PLA forces arrested the leadership of the Satrian PLA and Pardal PLA factions, only for their factions to engage in open warfare against each other. It is usually considered to have ended with the Chandan Brotherhood Agreement between the remnants of dissent PLA forces and the Republicans. The Revolution occurred as part of the Chandan Republican Revolution, the attempt by the Five Leaders of Chanda to create a Republic.
