Wehlen Civil War

It has been two decades since the events that unfolded in the Wehlen Civil War. Many remember the bitter tragedies of the war that resulted in starvation, disease and genocide. Historians now evaluate the Wehlen Civil War as a proxy war fought between Arcasia and United Contana. Initially, internal instability was triggered by the rise of a left-wing milita in the mountainous regions close to Sordland. The Sordish couptist General Rikard is said to have allowed hundreds of operatives and arms to Wehlen.

At first, Wehlen decided to ally with Arcasia, for them to send security forces to deal with the seemingly weak insurgency. But as the years passed their efforts were unsuccessful and this led to a growth of Arcasian military and economic support. Internally the country was heading to an economic collapse due to the instability preventing trade which was crucial to the Wehlen economy. Things got worse when Lespia, Rumburg and Arcasia shutdown their borders after the threat of the conflict jumping to their territories because of ethnic clashes. At that point the arms flowing in to Wehlen had reached a critical level and the fighting began to reach the cities.

Arcasian troops created security checkpoints at all of the major hubs but were increasingly getting surrounded. The Wehzek soldiers, not as well trained or equipped, couldn't beat back the Contanan supported-left wing militias. As Wehlen destabilized the horrors got worse. Millions of refugees tried to flee to neighbouring countries like Sordland, Lespia and Rumburg. However most of these countries turned their backs. So, hundreds of thousands died in what was called the death march.

In the year of 1932 the government of Wehlen re-established. Arcasian troops evacuated later. Ever since then Wehlen is regarded as a failed state. There have been good strides at gaining back the stability the country had before the war.
