The Rhavanese War or Rhavanese Unification War was a war waged in Rhava between the democratic Republic of Rhava and the communist Democratic Republic of Rhava.

Premise

As tensions rose between the Democratic Republic of Rhava and the Republic of Rhava in the 1960s, war became ever so visible. The communist north gained allyship with Fulgistan and Yeosan, which would supply resources and troops throughout the war, while Utogo supported the democratic south. In 1967, talks between the two governments were held in the middle kingdoms, however nothing was accomplished, with the meeting ending with an armed stand-off. Tensions rose even higher when, in 1969, the north annexed the middle kingdoms. Immediately, the Republic of Rhava denounced this, and the south sent their troops to the border. The north sent theirs in response. Again, there was another peace talk, this time in Thannam. To no avail. In early March 1970, the Democratic Republic of Rhava marched into the Calico Jungles, and took the city of Manaw. With the overwhelming strength of the Federation of Alharun Socialist Republic, the army was able to take most of the southern border relatively quickly. In late 1970 the first confrontation between both armies began, over the city of Quây Yuán. The siege lasted 5 days with neither side gaining ground, eventually the north was able to overwhelm Republic forces, and the city was lost. Throughout the next 2 years, the north continued to gobble up city after city, with the south not being able to help them. In 1973 the northern forces reached the capital of the south, Chó Vàng, only to realize there was no way through the mountains. A 5-day journey began with the tanks and soldiers climbing the snow capped mountains, over half of the army died on the trek. Then the battle of Chó Vàng began, with many citizens attempting to leave the country through boats. Most boats did not make it to international waters, however. After the south fell, daily bombings occurred on the northern Utogoan border, until the Synthe 1940 accords were signed, ending the Rhavanese War.
