The Kentalian Civil War, also known as the War of the Coup (Kental: Državni Udar) was a civil war in Kentalis, fought from 1958 to 1962. It was the largest war in Kentalis’ history, and as it stands is one of the largest Post-war conflicts. The war was fought between a Kento-Bisveni coalition, often shortened to just the Republic led by Nikola Todorović, the Stratocracy of Kentalis led by General Brajan Vladimirović, the Arakovac republic of Rustam Dzhabrailov, an Ereskanese state and six Ereskanese partisan organisations.
While the Republic was in favour of keeping the democratic system in place which had been the norm for Kentalis since the end of the Great war, the Stratocracy wanted to replace it with an authoritarian military-led Stratocracy, opposed to any kind of social change. Arakovac goals were irridentist in nature, hoping to regain land it had lost after its defeat in the Great war. The main Ereskanese state wanted to declare independence from Kentalis and to re-establish the Ereskanese state which had existed prior to its integration into Kentalis after its defeat after the Great war. Each of the Partisan organisations, while also following the goals of an independent Ereska, fought for their own ideologies.
The war started after General Brajan Vladimirović launched a proclamation for the military to rise up and replace the Kentalian democratic government which was in chaos after its Minister-President, Miran Obradović, was assassinated by an Ereskanese nationalist. The first few days of the war saw fierce fighting in major cities between units loyal to the Republic and units loyal to the Stratocracy, and while the majority of the big cities remained in the hands of the Republic, the Stratocracy was able to control the midlands, Požanac and Vetederevo. In August of 1958, Šimon Kocúr launched his own proclaiment, declaring all Ereskanese areas independent from the Kentalian governments. However, many in Ereska found his approach too weak, which resulted in the Ereskanese government fracturing and many partisan organisations declaring themselves to be the rightful Ereskanese government. The war at first fared poorly for the Republic, its only ally, the Bisveni Republic, being isolated between the Stratocracy and Ereska. The main turning point was the 1960 battle of Koderevo, where the Republic fought for three monts to capture the Stratocracy capital and to re-establish a supply line to the isolated Apačin front. Furthermore, in 1960 Arakovac joined the war to regain areas it lost during the Great war.
In 1962 the Civil war ended with a Republic victory, Brajan Vladimirović was executed for his crimes shortly after the war, in what many call the last unfair trial of Kentalis.
