In 1856, the states of Kuliadei, Ungeg, Elidish, Ququdin, Bur, and Nyidush were ceded to the British following the Battle of Oching of the Anglo-Vizhutuan War. There was so much outrage, that it caused the Lenying Revolution. The monarchy became constituional and the office of prime minister was established.

Introduction of democracy (1856-1945)
The 1856 elections were the first elections in Vizhutuan history. However, the system was corrupt and not free. There were many coup d'etats up until the reign of Kaushtubh, which started in 1901. He, along with elected prime minister Armand Parekh, introduced reforms that cut down corruption and introduced liberal democracy. The 1906 federal election was the first free and fair election in Vizhutuan.

Modern history (1945-)
Although Vizhutua was neutral during World War I, it was not the same for World War II, as the Japanese cilent state of Cadasa invaded Vizhutu in 1942. In 1943, the city of Tambal was ravaged by Cadasan bombing. Vizhutua subsquently joined the war under the Allies. The following two years were the bloodiest years in Vizhutuan history. As much as 5 million Vizhuese soldiers sacrificed their lives while Cadasa tried to invade the country.

In 1944, Cairo Raijar was elected prime minister. After the war, Raijar started to make Vizhutuan developed, modeled after the US post-war boom. In 1946, Bur and Nyidush were returned to Vizhutu from Britain for their co-operation in the war. In the 1950s, the Vizhutuan population grew fivefold, and the capital city Visaha became a modern city with office buildings and skyscrapers.

In fact, Raijar was so popular that he died in office in 1972. His son Rafiq Raijar became prime minister from 1973 to 1986, and Rafiq's son Bhaswar was prime minister from 1986 to 2000.
