The Unification War (Namorese: Тонгуниджин, 統一戰 tr. Tongunijin), sometimes known as the First Namorese Civil War (Ниюни Намора Неиджин, 次一南屋域內戰 tr. Niyuni Namora Neijin) was a civil war in Namor that lasted from 1915 to 1921. It was mainly fought between the monarchists, who supported the absolute rule of the Hao dynasty, and the Republic of Namor (RON), which consisted of various anti-monarchist groups.
The war resulted from the breakdown of a compromise between monarchists and republicans in the Double Fourth Revolution of 1910 that established a constitutional monarchy. In 1915, monarchists overthrew the republican government led by Prime Minister Jacob Cho and restored the pre-revolution absolute monarchy. Cho and his allies responded to the restoration by establishing the Republic of Namor in Mojing. Namor fragmented into provinces supporting either the monarchists or republicans.
Immediately after the establishment of the RON, the monarchists adopted a strategy of wrestling control of all waterways and ports in Namor from the republicans to prevent them from receiving aid from foreign powers. While the monarchists made some progress at first, capturing Xiangmen and Arra in 1916, they were unable to advance into East Namor, East Nozama or West Nozama, where they were met with strong resistance from the republicans. By 1918, the monarchist offensive had mostly stalled.
In 1919, General Jung To, who was chiefly responsible for helping the republicans defend East Namor from monarchist attacks, succeeded Jacob Cho as Prime Minister and launched an offensive against Southern Namor. With support from foreign allies and left-wing groups such as the Liberationists, the republicans made inroads into monarchist-held territories. Facing domestic and international pressure, the Veinan Empress removed Chancellor Hu Sang from power and surrendered to the republicans in 1921. All pro-monarchist provinces switched allegiance to the RON that same year.
The Unification War marked an end to 308 years of Hao rule and the beginning of the post-imperial era in Namorese history.
