The Carinian Revolution

The Carinian Revolution was a military conflict within Carinia that brought vast changes to Carinian government and culture, and also spurred changes throughout the entirety of Achara.

It began in 1908 with the usurping of the Carinian throne by Eriso Aioka, a Carinian prince denied of the crown due to his mental condition. Eriso was bitter from not getting the crown and so declared war on the Carinian monarchy and its supporters, as well as the Catholic faith. Eriso ruled very authoritatively and eventually the Carinian populace had a mass uprising in July 1909, the beginning of the main conflict.

The monarchy was protected, however, they had little power over the armed rebels, who became increasingly republican with the growth of the Rising Sun Movement. This movement wanted a complete renewal of Carinia to form a republic, and while the royal family would still be there, remain as figureheads.

The movement gained the support of regional powers, such as Afrikaanza and Bearstin. These nations were seeking benefit by the destruction of a powerful Carinian Empire and the rise of a republic they could take advantage of.

The conflict ended in November 1914 with the rebels storming Paceral successfully and the establishment of the Carinian Republic.

Reforms and such continued until 1916.
