The First Wheat War, also known as the 1967 Saterocian invasion of Saroq or Operation 0809, was an armed conflict between 1967 and 1977 that happened primarily between Sateroc and Saroq. On 8 September 1967, Sateroc launched a surprise invasion of the nation of Saroq, which had declared independence from Sateroc just four decades prior during the 1923 Sateroc crisis. The war lasted 5 months, and although Sateroc was successful at first, Saroq launched a series of counterattacks against Saterocian forces, which led to a Saterocian withdrawal. Although the war was inconclusive, it is largely referred to as a Saterocian defeat due to them failing their original war goals.
