Interior War
Following the end of the Third Voshan War and the Atmoran Civil War in 29 June 1946. The reestablished royalist government in Alexandria under the newly elected Chancellor Pieter-Bas Peusschers sought to bring stability back to the war-torn country with the disarmament of the royalist army and the partisans. However promiment communist and fascist figures in the Voshagne refused to put down their arms. Prominent communists Clemens Brunovsky and Emiel Morsinkhoff of the Nationale Volksweer rejected the demands of the Federal government in 17 May 1981. Brunovsky along with the Nationale Volksweer (NVU) rose in revolt against the federal government over the continued presence of the Nationale Volksunie the fascist terrorists in the Voshagne.
The leading cause of the communist revolts in the Voshagne are often pointed towards the death and rape of Christien Rostafiński in Novigrad. Christien Rostafiński was abducted by NVU members Karel Schaper and Jurrian Pellenkoft from her apartment in Novigrad on 13 May 1981. The Federal Police failed to act when Rostafiński's family notified them of her abduction. On the morning of 17 May, Rostafiński's body was discovered desecrated and hanging by a local couple outside of the St. Mary Magdalene's Cathedral. Outrage over the discovery of her remains and how Schaper and Pellenkoft desecrated her before her death. Ultimately led to Brunovsky and the National Volksweer to declare the formation of the Novigradskya Socialist Republic and the firefights in the city between the communists and fascist militia.
For six days the city of Novigard and the outlying municipalities erupted into civil unrest. The Royal Lieseltanian Police lost control of the situation in Novigrad on 21 May, with government forces retreating to the provincial capital district. Queen's Commissioner Alexander Sernesky requested from Alexandria for military support to quell the unrest in Novigrad. On the 23 May the 5th Armoured Infantry Division, 26th Mountain Brigade, Regiment Parachutisten, Regiment Koninklijke Stoottroepen, and the 109 Commando's Mariniersbrigade arrived in Novigrad with a state of martial law only leaving on the 27 May with deaths of Clemens Brunovsky of the NVW and Jan Lavie of the NVU at the hands of Atmoran security forces bringing peace to the region again.
