The ASU-Chokashian War or more commonly known as The Great War of the Fatherland (Chokash:Велика Вітчизняна війна, Velyka Vitčyznjana vijna) is a conflict that was fought between the Chokashian Hetmanate and the Chokashian Republic on one side against the Aeian Sociaist Union. It was the prelude to the Second Great war but also the conflict that continued after the Sacila Conference with large guerrilla operations of Chokashian solidarists.
The conflict grew out of a crisis between Chokashia and the ASU. Chokashia was at peace after a civil war which wrapped the country for months, fought between nationalists and the ASU backed syndicalists which lost. The ASU demanded that the syndicalist leaders, which have been arrested and sentenced to death by the nationalists, to be released immediately and viewed the court decision as a provocation and an act against the proleteriat. Prior to the Chokashian Civil War, the ASU acted in the interest of left-wing political parties as a mean to expand its own sphere of influence to Chokashia. After the syndicalist leaders of Chokashia were executed the ASU issued an ultimatum to which Chokashian officials couldn't respond as it would have subdued Chokashia and violated its constitution. On 1 April the conflict started when the ASU started shelling Chokashian cities close to its border, but the ASU land invasion didn't start until April 15 when the ASU attacked Chokashian foritifications in the Shevchenkovo forests. The Chokashian army held out for more than two weeks as it had prepared itself well but then slowly started going back into the country. On May 1 the Chokashian army made a counteroffensive that pushed back the ASU troops more than 60 kilometers deep into Dreyvisevich. The initial success of the Chokashian army was one of the reasons why the Wester Aeian countries started shipping the much needed supplies to Chokashia. The Chokashian offensive didn't last long as the Chokashian troops pulled back into Chokashia. For the next four months the Chokashian forces dug in and fought back human waves of the ASU forces. On September 23 the ASU started a massive offensive on all parts of the front, the Chokashian forces had to retreat but dug in the Polom mountains in the east and on the banks of the Svislach river in the south. The Second Stalemate lasted until late November when the Chokashian forces pushed back the ASU troops and regained control over most of the country during the Greusmann Offensive. The 1926/1927 Winter was fruitless for the ASU which started pressuring the Western countries to cease supplying Chokashia which was successful, and on March 23 the ASU started the Great Spring Offensive during which they pushed the Chokashian forces westwards and then northwards to Tudonia. On April 30 Tudonian forces occupied a small part of Chokashia in the north to where it purposely let the Chokashian army to retreat with the whole government and thousands of refugees. The ASU declared victory on May 9 after defeating the last Chokashian forces in the north.
