The Hódítók Disunity, also known as the Kaposvár War was a war between the Empire and the breakaway state of the Balaton-Hévíz Kingdom, which declared its independence in 1733. The war lasted from 1733 to 1740, after the end of the Siege of Óbudavár and the execution of the king of the Balaton-Hévíz Kingdom, Polgárdy Hadik. The war was primarily fought within the Megyek of Kőszeg, Szeged, Lórévi, Kaposvár, and Hegyhát. The Hódítók Disunity was considered to be Zgismond I's crowning achievement in his meddling emperorship, however the aftereffects of the war left widescale issues that the Empire was not able to properly handle.

The war had been precipitated by years of migration tensions within the south that were amplified by Hegyhát representation within the Imperial Diet that spoke against the mass migration of Balaton and Hévíz people. Overtime, the native Hegyhát and Kaposvár people clashed with the newly migrated Balaton and Hévíz people. Polgárdy Hadik, a farmer claiming descendance from the House of Barkóczy was elected as a leader by both Balaton and Hévíz people in Pálóc after the Massacre of Szobránc committed against over 200 Balaton villagers. Alongside this, Hódítók Hadvezérs began to become more prominent alongside Silver-Flailed Warriors and Sivataglakó Vasharcos.
