The Agala War, also known as the Subjugation of the Hills (Tamashek: ⵜⴰⴷⵍⴻⵎⴰⵜ ⵏ'ⵜⵉⴽⴰⵙⵡⴰⵔⴻⵏ Tadlemat n'Tikaswaren) and the Teno-Itayanan Border Conflict, was a war fought between the Third Charnean Empire, the separatist Agala Republic and neighboring regions of Itayana between the 15th of August 1945 and the 29th of December 1947. It began as a rebellion of the Zarma people inhabiting the Agala highlands in southwestern Charnea to establish an independent Republic before expanding into an international conflict involving the forces of Itayana. The Agala War is widely considered to have been instigated by the policies and measures taken by the Charnean state to secure water resevoirs in the Agala highlands. The war is remembered as a seperatist conflict testing the cohesion of Charnean nationhood in the modern day. However, historians and contemporary sources color the conflict as a war for rescources first and foremost.
