The Kavelian Uprisings

The Kavelian Uprisings were a series of rebellions that sparked in the latter years of the 20th century, shortly after the Arenginian Acabar regime came to a close. In 1998 Arengin was in a state of political, social, and economic reconstruction after the bloody civil war that had brought the Acabar regime to an end. For many years, the Acabar regime had passed several laws and measures that prioritize the needs of the Arenginian majority over the other minorities, the Tarkians and Meadowians were not affected much, but it was the Kavelians who faced the boot of persecution. The Acabar regime explicitly regarded the Kavelians as "Non-Slavs" and it aimed to have them as second class citizens, putting strict regulations on where they could travel in the country as well as the places they could go into. After the fall of the Acabar regime the Kavelian population demanded to be given full autonomy and be able to form its own nation, this due to the many mistrusts and cultural differences between the Arenginians and Kavelians, however these demands were ignored by the new government and eventually in the Kresny parliament building it was decided to unite all Kavelians around the Urus, both Arengin and Shahinay to make the nation of Kavelia. This didn't last long as both the Arenginian and Shahinayan armed forces moved to crush the rebellion in their distinctive boundaries. The war was bloody and many claim it still continues despite the apparent peace treaty signed at the Kresny courthouse.
