'''The Pahlan Insurgencies''' was an ethno-nationalist conflict in the [[Pahl|Administrative District of Pahl]] of [[Zamastan]] during the mid 20th century. Also known internationally as the '''Pahlan Independence Movement''', it is sometimes described as an "irregular war" or "low-level war". The conflict began in the early 1950s and is usually deemed to have ended with the '''[[Sherburne Agreement of 1958]]'''. Although the Pahlan Insurgencies primarily took place in Pahl, at times the violence spilled over into parts of the [[Zian|Administrative Districts of Zian]] and [[Jade]].
'''The Pahlan Insurgencies''' was an ethno-nationalist conflict in the [[Administrative District (Zamastan)|province]] of [[Pahl]] in [[Zamastan]] during the mid 20th century. Also known internationally as the '''Pahlan Independence Movement''', it is sometimes described as an "irregular war" or "low-level war". The conflict began in the early 1950s during the height of the [[World War (Iearth)|World War]] and is usually deemed to have ended with the '''[[Sherburne Agreement of 1958]]'''. Although the Pahlan Insurgencies primarily took place in Pahl, at times the violence spilled over into parts of the provinces of [[Zian]], [[Northern Isle]], and [[Jade]].


The conflict was primarily political and nationalistic, fueled by historical events. It also had an ethnic or sectarian dimension, although it was not a religious conflict. A key issue was the constitutional status of Pahl. Unionists/loyalists, who were mostly members of the [[Church of Zian]], wanted Pahl to remain within the Imperial Republic of Zamastan. Pahlan nationalists/republicans, who were mostly members of the [[Catholic Church of Zamastan]], wanted Pahl to leave the Republic. Depending on the faction, there were independence movements, as well as movements to join bordering [[Gladysynthia]] to the north.

Increasing tensions led to severe violence in August 1955 and the deployment of Zamastanian troops, and there was near consistent occupation of major Pahlan urban areas such as [[Abagene]], [[Alanis]], and [[Emerald]], and many small villages until the Sherburne Agreement of 1958 ended the fighting. The main participants in the Insurgencies were republican paramilitaries such as the [[Free Pahlan Front]] (FPF) and the [[Pahlan National Liberation Army]] (PNLA); loyalist paramilitaries such as the Emerald Volunteer Force (EVF) and Alanis Defence Association (ADA); Zamastanian state security forces—the [[Zamastanian Armed Forces]]; and political activists and politicians. Paramilitaries carried out a guerrilla campaign against the Zamastanian security forces, as well as a bombing campaign against infrastructure, commercial and political targets. Zamastanian security forces undertook both a policing and a counter-insurgency role, primarily against the rebel groups. The Insurgencies also involved numerous riots, mass protests and acts of civil disobedience, and led to segregation and the creation of no-go areas.

    The Pahlan Insurgencies was an ethno-nationalist conflict in the province of Pahl in Zamastan during the mid 20th century. Also known internationally as the Pahlan Independence Movement, it is sometimes described as an "irregular war" or "low-level war". The conflict began in the early 1950s during the height of the World War and is usually deemed to have ended with the Sherburne Agreement of 1958. Although the Pahlan Insurgencies primarily took place in Pahl, at times the violence spilled over into parts of the provinces of Zian, Northern Isle, and Jade.

    The conflict was primarily political and nationalistic, fueled by historical events. It also had an ethnic or sectarian dimension, although it was not a religious conflict.

Depending on the faction, there were independence movements, as well as movements to join bordering Gladysynthia to the north and some who, during the World War, wanted to join Drambenburg.
