The Hanseatic Civil War was a multi-party civil war in the former Hanseatic Empire, sparked by the coup of the Regnochtfolger dynasty by Arthur MacHeath in summer 1936. In the wake of the great war, the overthrowing of the Regnoctfolger dynasty, many factions fought in the Hanseatic civil war. The civil war is divided into two sections, the MacHeath section (1936-1944) and the Federation section (1947-1949).

The Hanseatic monarchy was secretly ended during the Great War with the "secret coup" of Arthur MacHeath in July 1934. However this was kept a secret for 2 years until the last monarch Frederick II escaped house arrest and exposed MacHeath to the world. Various factions quickly rose up and after the Treaty of Shuto and full scale war started with the secession of Wustiech in October 1939.
