Start of the war
Djenibek uprising
On October 13, 1919, Sosymet forces numbering around 13,000 covertly gathered in Djenibek began their uprising by seizing government offices, the post office, and key factories. By October 15th they had control over the entire municipality and Sosymet leader Joseph Tinnerdam declared the Sosymet republic, thus kickstarting the Civil War and War of Independence. In response the Imperial Nelbec Army (INA) dispatched the 3rd Division to put down the uprising, however when the unit reached Walybek they mutinied, joining the Sosymet uprising. With control over Djenibek and Walybek secured, the Sosymet army started to expand their control Southward.
Continued Allied Offensive
Facing little resistance from the Nelbec Empire and support from the war-weary population, the Sosymets quickly captured villages while marching towards Fjedor and Sjon. Forces from the INA were stripped from the front line to halt the rebellion, weakening the Nelbec Empires ability to halt the continueing Allied Offensive. On October 30 Allied forces were able to take advantage of the weakened position and encircled INA forces north of Doduc.
