The Marensaise Long War, also referred to as the Second and Third Jungle Wars and Marensaise Revolution, was a civil conflict which took place between March 1940 and December 1952. It took place in the landmass of modern-day Marensoald and southern portions of Kagon, and was waged between four factions: the authoritarian Midrasian minority-dominated government of pre- and post-colonial New Padania, led by President Simon-Pierre Baillairgé (and later Jean-Baptiste Bachelot); the Marensaise Peoples' Liberation Army and its allied movements under Artoir Adewale; the Motomkubwa Army, a loose alliance of moderate republicans and tribal militias under the command of Mshindi Azizi; and the Arancu Itam United Front, which sought to create a separate Caval breakaway state, which was led by Vijay Sharmith Iranya.

The first phase of the war, which took place between 1940 and 1947, concluded with the Wyllcombe Agreement, which re-implemented universal suffrage in New Padania, created the Caval Itam Independent Republic, restored colonial-era political authorities for tribal leaders, and saw the resignation of President Baillairgé and his subsequent replacement by Stanislas Cordonnier, an indigenous West Majulan, which ended the rule of minority government. However, a number of tensions remained, as the racial and class conflicts which preceded the launch of the conflict were not addressed, and often remained denied by the government. This was largely thanks to significantly neutered executive powers held by Cordonnier and his appointments. Additionally, Caval Itam was not internationally recognized, causing border disputes with Midrasia itself. Due to this, the ceasefire was broken after two months when a Kibbutz in Mawenyos District was attacked by government forces and seemingly ignored by local tribal authorities, leaving no survivors. While weither or not the attack was authorized is still controversial, the effect led immediately to Mashahist Militias, which were previously divided, to ally with Artoir Adewale and the MPLA, which immediately mobilized to protect numerous disparate settlements in and around the Matav region, leading to the resumption of direct confrontations between the MPLA and government forces after refusing to stand down. President Cordonnier was imprisioned during a coup by pre-war military leadership, led by General Jean Bachelot, The Junta, rechristening the nation Praetorian Majula in a short-lived union with Kagon, declared the Wyllcombe Agreement null, and resumed hostilities. This prompted the newly-minted Caval Itam to rejoin fighting alongside the MPLA's "United Patriotic Front", fearing an invasion from the North.

The fighting continued for an additional five years, the combat becoming a war of attrition in the area surrounding the city of Courvers, the junta's provisional capital, having lost support of Kagon in 1951. Having secured their northern border, the MPLA engaged in a massive campaign of urban warfare against Junta forces which endured for over 400 days before capturing the Praetorian High Command and freeing Stanislas Cordonnier. The unconditional surrender of the Bachelot Junta and subsequent declaration of the united Peoples' Democratic Republic of Marensoald under the leadership of Artoir Adewale was secured in 1952 in the Treaty of Fortnouveau, overseen by Midrasia, granting the country full international recognition. While skirmishes between Bachelot Loyalists and the newly-christened Peoples' Defense Force endured into 1953, these insurgents lacked any central command and largely focused on escape to Kagon. General Bachelot was executed by guillotine on 17 April 1953, marking the government-recognized end of the conflict. The UPF Provisional Government was maintained until 1957, when the nation's constitution was completed and put into effect.
