The Battle of Nieuwesel was a large engagement, often described as the decisive battle of the Vionna-Frankenlischian War of Restoration. It was fought between the 16th and 21st of March 1980 by Royalist and Wolfswood forces under the overall command of Edward, Earl of Westonland and forces of the Socialist Vionna-Frankenlischian government commanded by General James Trevelyan. In a five-day running battle, Wolfswooder troops repelled constant attacks by Trevelyan's First Army Group and allowed the Earl of Westonland's royalists to accomplish an impressive encircling action which led to the destruction of a huge portion of the Vionna-Frankenlischian Red Army.
