Sittapinian civil war

The Sittapinian civil war (Sittapinian: Jhum la Ekham Nuat Xuai Nuat; War of 1969) was an internal conflict fought between the Sittapinian monarchy and the People's Democratic Army, a Walakarimasist armed group, calling for an establishment of a Walakarimasist socialist state in Sittapini, allegedly created by Hangala's Walakarimasi family. It was one of the deadliest internal conflicts in the Nesionytan Islands, along with the Ulakisonian civil war.

The conflict began on July 10, 1969, after the PDA attempted a coup d'état but was crushed by the Sittapinian armed forces. This later escalated into an armed conflict after the Borobudh Royal Palace was bombed by the PDA, which led to the military taking full control of the country. The civil war resulted into 450,000 casualties and 100,000 displaced. This later resulted into a huge economic shift in Sittapini and enormous foreign investment which helped the country develop an upper-middle income economy.

Background
After the Walakarimasi family took control of Hangala in 1967, Walakarimasist organizations were formed in different parts of the world, such as Sittapini's SPDP. Fearing a socialist state in Sittapini, the government banned the party from elections, which caused the establishment of the People's Democratic Army, the SPDP's military wing. A coup d'état was attempted in the night of July 8, 1969, in order to overthrow the monarchy and replace it with a socialist state, but was backfired by the defending military right after the PDA reached the Borobudh Royal Palace.

After the coup failure, the bombing of the palace was occurred at the morning of July 9, 1969, with around 40 casualties and 1,000 injuries. This resulted in protests against the Walakarimasists, demanding the government to crackdown the SPDP party. Several PDA soldiers shot dead 300 protesters, and later escalated into a full scale armed conflict the next day, with complete military control on Sittapini.

First phase and mass terrorism (1969-1970)
Mass terrorist attacks by the PDA occurred during the first two years of the war, including the Goday town hall and the Bhakilopidha Temple bombings in 1970. The civil war at the time mostly focused on the south, but later swindled in the northern areas during early 1970. Since they were unable to conquer the southern areas, they mass conquered much of Sittapini. The party's headquarters were later shifted to Koxosai. Several terrorist attacks happened mostly in rural areas, which was commonly referred to as the 'Period of Death', or sometimes the 'Sittapinian genocide'. The Ulakisonian People's Republic and Hangala expressed support for the PDA.

The mass terrorism in Sittapini caused thousands of refugees to flee to neighboring states, such as Obanacia, Dajankagru, and the Kanuzunda Islands. The OAF was deployed to the country and backed the government, who were heavily defending their territory. Major cities were heavily bombed by the PDA, and the death toll reached to 250,000-500,000. and DDL successfully evacuated around 90,000 Sittapinians from the PDA-occupied territory and Sittapini was declared a in October 1970. Elections were temporarily suspended by the government.

Ceasefire
On November 4, 1970, the PDA and the government agreed on a ceasefire and peace talks. Despite this, Walakarimasist terrorism thrived until a ceasefire was signed on November 15. Further talks were made in Jokani, Obanacia, and there were plans by the SPDP to establish an independent socialist state made from their occupied territory. Meanwhile, some of the monarchists fled to the PDA-occupied Phaisa island and established Somphaisa, something similar to, in case the Walakarimasist forces win the war. On January 1, 1971, the international airport of Naragoti resumed commercial flights and trade between nations were continued to heal the country's economy. The PDA, on the other hand, began diplomatic relations with Hangala, and opened a Hangalese embassy in Koxosai.

Second phase (1971-1973)
In mid-1971, the PDA attempted to invade the remaining territories, resuming the civil war. The Walakarimasist forces exceeded through the ceasefire line and occupied more territory. Eventually, the Obanacian and Dajankagrash peacekeepers arrive and protect the civilians. Walakarimasists in the monarch-occupied territories committed several terrorist attacks with chemical bombs, and the war became much more destructive. The Ulakisonian communist forces attempted to invade the country in December 1971, but were heavily crushed by the Sittapinian military with Dajankagrash aid. On January 15, 1972, the bombing in the Nomjara railway station killed the Sittapinian prime minister, Yamkraw Mon Jhei.

In March 1972, the PDA attempted another coup, which was almost successful, but the military arrested the perpetrators on the spot and later executes them with firing squad. The military put Sittapini under martial law and begins the country's liberation from the PDA. The king of Sittapini, Majula Bhim Ruamkajha, flees to the newly established Somphaisa, where he was given refuge in a small guest house. With support from NATO, the Sittapinian military swept through the PDA-occupied territory and liberated over half of the country's population.

By the end of 1972, over 80% of Sittapini's territory had been liberated from the PDA. The Sittapinian military requested the to intervene and crush the Walakarimasist forces, but protests and unfavorable views on the war caused the US to instead continue to sell arms and provide aid to Sittapini. In January 1973, Hangala attempted to deploy troops t￼o Sittapini to gradually invade the country and establish a Walakarimasist socialist state, but Obanacian battleships heavily guarded the country's western coast and prevented any Hangalese battleships from entering. Several battleships have been destroyed, and forced Hangala to cut supplying arms to the PDA, making its fate much worse. Both sides signed another ceasefire in June 1973.

PDA dissolved and economic reform
In October 1973, the PDA attempted to invade Sittapini once more, although with very old technology. The SPDP's president, Mangroi Saung Prixasa, described the PDA's situation as "very fragile", almost ceasing to exist. After almost all of PDA's territory had been captured by December 4, 1973, the armed force itself disbanded and the SPDP announced its surrender. Rachun Reidiyo announced the military's victory by the end of the day, and Prixasa later fled to Hangala, with the former PDA soldiers joining the SAF.

At the end of December 1973, the Sittapinian monarch government was formally restored, and announced economic reforms to heal the country. The country opened up its economy and becomes one of the most prosperous countries in Nesionyta. Despite being a horrific period, the country only built two monuments commemorating the victims of the war, the Arch of Peace in Bruamkutai and the Tower of Justice in Goday.
