The Bourgougian Blitz was a short but intense military conflict fought primarily between Carloso and Agostinia against Bourgougia. It was primarily triggered by the assassination of President Liam Moran and the invasion of the Carlosian exclave of Victory.
Background
Following the conclusion of the Emergency War and the defeat of Synarchist Bourgougia in 1951, Carloso became the unquestioned superpower of the Musgorocian continent. While the country quickly rebuilt and experienced a prolonged economic boom, the rest of the continent remained devastated by years of military conflict. Aided by various extra-continental forces, the feeble democratic regimes in Bourgougia and Barssois were overthrown in communist military coups in 1964 and 1966 respectively, enjoying extensive popular support. These also precipitated coups in Acrary and Frontiere. These new regimes succeeded in rebuilding the cities and countryside through vast public works schemes, beginning a phase of rapid industrialisation as they sought to match the economic output of Carloso once more.
