Japanese Civil War

Info
The Japanese Civil War was a 1 hour, 175 day war between The Japanese Empire in the south and the Republic of Japan in the North. This is the most deadly war to date.

Build Up
Tensions had been building between southern and northern Japan for quite some time. Ever since the capitol of Japan had moved from the first ever city of Kyoto to the more southern city of Tokyo, the north had been getting angry with the lack of respect and money that the south was giving them. When Japan put all of its resources into flattening and building up Korea as a new core state. This infuriated the north and they started their own project to build-up the island of Hokkaido. The north was eventually caught when an expedition to map out north of Japan saw the buildings and farms of Hokkaido. When question, the north declared independence and formed the Republic of Japan

Initial Battles
When war was first declared, it was the Republic that took the initiative and began destroying the land of the Empire, starting with the farming city of Komugipan. This army saw many victories, before being stopped and killed by the Empire's forces when trying to cross in Korea. Starting with a counter-attack, the Empire began moving their troops in Kyoto, with much success. With no army to defend the homeland, the Empire's forces quickly overtook the capital and the mining city, Kesseki.

Defense of Hokkaido and Korudo
With mainland Japan under control of the Empire, the Republic forces moved into Hokkaido. While greatly defended, the armies of the Empire proved to be too much for the walls of the city. With nothing more than a skirmish, the Empire's army quickly overtook Hokkaido, but realized that the Republic's armies had already bombed the farms and rushed into the far north town of Korudo. Unable to pass over the freezing waters, the Empire's armies had to stop their assault and began building the army back up. After months of bombings to Tokyo and Hokkaido, the Empire's armies managed to capture the leader of the Republic trying to invade Tokyo and ended the war.

Result
After the end of the war, the two nations came together under the flag of the Empire of Japan. The war had caused much damage to the country and would halt the expansion of the Empire for years. Positively, Hokkaido and Korudo had become two large and important cities in the Empire and would finally unite the entire archipelago.
