Tomanian War

The First Tomania Civil War was an armed conflict in 2022 in Uran country of Tomania fought between forces loyal to Leader Aldwin Färberg and foreign supported groups seeking to oust his government. It erupted with the Tomanian Revolution, also known as the 15 February Revolution. The war was preceded by protests in Cruxford on 20 January 2021, which led to clashes with security forces that fired on the crowd. The protests escalated into a rebellion that spread across the country, with the forces opposing Färberg establishing an interim governing body, the National Transitional Council. Most of the fighting was conducted by Britannians or Tomanians.

Background
Following Aldwin Färberg’s claim to power following a military coup d’état in 2019 the new government was met with attacks from the newly formed resistance. In January of 2021 mass protests and riots began throughout the isolated country. These protests and riots led to clashes between security forces and protesters. A video leaked by Britannian media showing protesters being shot at and shot again while running away caused the international community to begin sanctioning Tomania. Facisia began sanctioning Tomania and started airing anti-Tomanian propaganda even though these two nations were great allies.

Facisian-Tomanan war
On March 5, 2020 Tomanian naval forces landed in South-Eastern Facisia occupying the isles and quickly bringing in more and more troops. The Facisians dictatorship began debating how to attack these Tomanian invaders. The decision making process was long and the Tomanians had taken all the south and east very easily. When Tomanian artillery forces began firing on Cow City the government fled to the countryside at the exception of Ivan who decided to defend Cow City and begin a surprise attack of the Tomanian mainland.

With the Tomanians occupying nearly all of the economic powerhouses of Facisia and bombing Cow City the Facisians landed on the Tomanian mainland quickly taking much land. This is when Britannian forces invited both leaders for peace talks in Londonium to which they accepted. Britannian peacekeeping forces then marked a boundary using ships and planes between the two nations. They shot down three Tomanian small planes trying to cross to the Facisian mainland. Both countries failed to reach a settlement and the fighting continued however the Britannian armies still cut cargo transports. To win Britannian support the Tomanians declared the Britannians as “racially equal” this led to public opinion about Tomania going up in Britannia.

Allied invasion
On January 1, 2021 a Tomanian destroyer sunk a Britannian cruiser, massacring the survivors. Tomanians initially blamed the Facisians however they then said it was them and that it had been an accident. This led to Britannia, Hatzhkania and Shanghai instantly declaring war on Tomania. Benjia and New Ulster began offering medical help to wounded allied soldiers. Just a few minutes after declaring war the resistance in Tomania took over five metropolises. A few hours later they reached the sea where Britannian, Facisian, Shanghaian and Hatzhkanian troops disembarked to take the rest of the coast. Britannia began bombing axis occupied cities and military bases which led to the defection of numerous Tomanian soldiers. Britannian paratroopers were then airdropped in resistance held metropolises to take over the countryside. On January 7, 2021 the siege of Cruxford began, Färberg had fled to a neo-nazi compound in Westoria, the war seemed at it’s end therefore allied forces began leaving.

Westoria declared war on Tomania following bombings in two nightclubs in the country. Westoria just mobilized enough men to secure the border. They let Britannian forces enter the country to raid the neo-nazi compound. On January 10th Britannian forces entered the compound to learn that Färberg had fled in an attack-helicopter, he had been shot down but he survived. He was picked up by one of the few loyal regiments.

Tomanian comeback
He delivered passionate and non-dictatorial speeches which led to his popularity boosting. More and more Tomanians joined the reich’s army as allied forces were leaving the small nation. On January 17, 2020 Tomanian forces had taken back all the country at the exception of the West Coast. Britannian forces were busy fighting the Paw-Paws therefore they did not send reinforcements to reinforce the west coast. Following Tomania’s unsuccessful napalm bombings of Londonium the idea of a bombing led to the RAF destroying nearly all airfields and ports. On the west coast Hatzhkania had already pushed further east and the Tomanians had began defecting again. The remaining Tomanians all retreated to Cruxford where Britannian and Hatzhkanian forces sieged the city using infantry. Cruxcford’s walls proved to be extremely difficult to escalate. The few paratroopers sent in the city were captured or did not do much damage

Fall of Cruxford
General Olivier of Britannia then had the idea of using canons and bombers at the same time. This panicked the Tomanians who fled to bunkers, then the allied forces broke through the city walls on January 26, 2020. On January 29, 2020 the city surrendered to allied forces. Färberg fled to the neo-nazi compound in Westoria following raids from Westorian and Britannian forces the small compound surrendered to the allied forces. During this time Färberg had taken a sniper and injured two enemy soldiers. Färberg was then fatally shot in the head however this had not been ordered. Tomania officially ceased to exist following the invasion of the compound. Tomanian terrorist groups then commenced terrorizing foreign citizens with their bombings around the Uran globe.
