The Okkamidur War, often termed the Okkamidur War of 1866 to differentiate it from the later Okkamidur Affair, was a conflict fought between the Sultanate of Okkamidur and the United States of Balion. It was fought throughout the year of 1866 and followed slave unrest in the Balonic territory of South Salorka, a region of Prodava which had been annexed by Balion in 1848. A combination of Okkamiduran political interference, piracy operating out of Okkamidur and Essyria, and strong border tensions led to the breakout of war in February 1866. Though the steadily growing abolitionist movement fiercely opposed war and continued occupation of South Salorka was becoming unpopular, the economic benefits of Balonic-owned plantations in the territory skewed government thinking and there were serious allegations of corruption.

War was declared following the Battle of Ahearnia, in which Balonic troops fought off a Okkamiduran incursion into South Salorka. A second attempt at Fort Fairweather and Okkamiduran forces crossed the frontier into South Salorka and marched on Monroweville.
