The Hopai Uprsing (Kapukan:ㅎㅗㅍㅏㅣ ㅋㅣㅍㅣㅇㅏㄴㅏ) (Modern Zhenian: 호파이 봉기) was a revolution fought against the Zhenia by the Kalist Front and Kapuku. The conflict lasted from February 6, 1941 to October 16, 1944 lasting about three years. In 1942 both Florencia and Kilalurak joined the war on the side of the revolutionaries.

The revolution started in 1941 from various factors, the main one being the annexation of the crown dependency of Kapuku. The first rebellion started on the island of Hulawa, with the entire island being captured by the revolutionary forces by September 1941. The armies went on to land on the island of Haumea, where feirce Zhenian resistance was seen. The troops prevailed and captured the island, starting a Kalist uprising on the island of Ulukau. At this time, the two nations of Florencia and Kilalurak both joined the war on the side of the revolutionaries. The two revolutionary factions and the forces of Florencia and Kilalurak went on to fight side by side to the city of Lono, where the final and most deadly battle of the war occured. On October 16, 1944 the troops at Lono surrendered, ending the war.

The end of the war lead to the foundation of the nation of Kapuku and the end of Zhenian presence in the Kapukan Archipelago. Kapuku was officially recognized by the world at the end of the Second Great War. October 16th is a national holiday in Kapuku, being celebrated as "Lanakina Day" or "Victory Day". The war is also seen as the beggining of Kapukan friendship with Florencia and Kilalurak, with the Serrapole Pact being founded in 1955.
