The Lendascina civil war was a protracted armed conflict fought in Lendascina from 1966-1978 between the government of Lendascina and far-left guerilla fighters known as the Liberation Front of Lendascina (LFL). A series of economic crisis and government corruption scandals led to an outbreak of fighting in the late 1960s which quickly engulfed the country as left-wing fighters, supported by the UCSS and Epsilon, attempted to disrupt the capitalist-backed Lendascinan government's control over the country. In 1978, the military overthrew the government in a coup and quickly ended the fighting with barbaric measures. The Lendascina civil war was one of the deadliest post-World War conflicts, resulting in upwards of a million people killed.
