The Swish Civil War was a conflict that occurred in the country of Swinas. The war was fought between two factions, the Democratic Union, who supported the existing government, and the Socialist Union, who sought to overthrow the government and establish a new regime. The war began in the year 1921 and lasted 4 years, causing widespread destruction and loss of life. The Democratic Union were eventually able to defeat the Socialist Union, and the country was able to return to a state of peace. The war had a profound impact on the country and its people, and its aftermath is still being felt today.

Situation Before the War

Before the Swish Civil War began, tension between the Democratic parties of Swinas and Socialist parties of Swinas were high. The president before the war, President Michael Jenkins had begun making it an effort to begin riling up the Swish Population against Swish Socialism. Fortunately for the Socialists, the indigenous population of Swinas largely accepted the idea of Swish Socialism, and would go on to help greatly in the war.

The War Begins

Though tension was high between the Democratic and Socialists of Swinas, it would all change in January 21st, when official arrests were conducted on top Swish Socialist officials. This act would result in Swish Socialists protesting in Goatford and demanding the release of the officials. This request would be denied and the Socialists would begin taking more drastic measures. The protests, which were originally seen as harmless quickly turned violent and about 20 casualties were reported just from the protest. And in February 27th, the Socialists would rush to take control of provinces in West Swinas, and afterwards would declare war on the 18th of March, 1921.
