Red Decade
The Red Decade is a term commonly used to refer to the interregnum in Vionna-Frankenlisch between the Imperial Civil War and the Vionna-Frankenlischian War of Restoration. The period spanned thirteen years from 1967 to 1980. During the Red Decade, Vionna-Frankenlisch was ruled by an autocratic socialist government known as the Democratic People's Republic of Vionna-Frankenlisch.

Conflict
The Red Decade was dominated by four military conflicts.
The Imperial Civil War took place from July 1966 to March 1968. It was the conflict which began the Red Decade and cemented the new socialist government in place. Leftist uprisings in the summer of 1966 took place all over the country and government meddling combined with military incompetence prevented the Imperial Vionna-Frankenlischian Army from crushing the rebellion in its early stages. The main stage of the war lasted from the first uprisings on the 11th of July, 1966 to the fall of Parliament Square during the Battle of Frankenlisch on the 2nd of March, 1967. Following that date, there was limited fighting as the socialist government struggled to claim the colonies of the Frankenlischian Empire but these campaigns ended in March 1968 with limited success.
