Era of Civil Wars
The Era of Civil Wars is an un-official historical era in which there were the numerous civil wars occuring in the same relative time period between 1938 and 1970.
Wars included in this era include the Zhousheng Council War (1938-1941), the Layfetian Civil War (1948-1964), the First Vescarian Civil War (1948-1952), the Kentalian Civil War (1951-1964), Gran Rudgioian Civil War (1968-1970),Prei Meas Civil War (1972/3?-1976), and the Bakyern Civl War (1973-1976).
Also included was the short lived Gassnassian Insurgency (1972-1975?) which almost slipped into civil war.
The Era of Civil Wars remains a mystery with many historians and sociologists trying to understand why there were so many seemingly unconnected bouts of social upheaval during this time period. Many theories have developed mostly centered around the Great Coincidence Theory and Social Rebound Theory.
The Great Coincidence Theory tries to assert that all these civil wars are indeed unconnected and it's just coincidence that they occured during this time. The theory is supported by how wide-spread these civil conflicts occured across the planet.
The Great Coincidence Theory was postulated by Homero Salgado's 1983 book ´´A Brief History of Anteria and it's Social Issues (Spanish: Una breve historia de Anteria y sus problemas sociales)´´
The Social Rebound Theory is the idea that these civil wars were began as a reaction to or because of unresolved social dilemmas mostly centered around the Great War or other wars connected to the Great War or each other. This theory particularly notices the apparent but unproven connections of rising Stratocracies in Layfet and Kentalis.
This theory is given credit due in part to The Green Jacket Revolution, the two and a half year war that saw the fall of the Vultesian Empire (Kingdom) and the rise of the Principate from 1918 to 1921. The Green Jacket Revolution was a direct follow-on to the Great War and thus, while not included as part of the Era of Civil Wars provides empirical evidence to the Social Rebound Theory.
The Social Rebound Theory was first postulated by Layfetian Sociologist Tyler Dore in his 1998 essay On the Impacts of The Great War on Internal Conflicts
Historians and Sociologists debate about weather to expand the Era of Civil Wars to include the Kiyortzani Civil War (1921-1924) and the The Rugidoan Spring (1911-1916) in the era.
