Portlandian Civil War

The Portlandian Civil War was the war that liberated the current country of Portlandia from anarchist groups. Countless soldiers and civilians died in the conflict, none are sure exactly how many.

American Collapse and its Influence
When the American government fell apart in 2006, so did every other government in the country. In 2007, when Portland's government finally collapsed, everything began to fall apart. Numerous gangs formed, becoming warlords of the city, splitting it up. No where was safe. This led to unrest within the population. The citizens of Portland had all decided that it was time to rebuild and establish a new, stable government.

Formation of the PRG
On October of 2007, a group of 30 people gathered together one night and discussed the future of Portland. This was the first meeting of the PRG, the Portlandia Revival Group. All 30 of them began planning to build an army to take out the gangs, establish a stable government within Portland, and become an independent country. But they needed a leader, and they chose SGkilla to be their general. Over the next few months, more and more people joined sides with the PRG. SGkilla established a stable system, an army, and eventually, a constitution.

Formation of the ACF
Soon, word spread of the PRG to all the gangs out there. The leaders of them came together one evening to discuss what to do about the rebels. They agreed to form a coalition to stop the PRG. They formed the ACF, the Anarchist Coalition Force. They too got ready for the inevitable over the next few months.

Battle of the Hawthorne
On November 1st, 2008, a small group of PRG soldiers were crossing the Hawthorne bridge, over to downtown Portland, so they could surprise attack the gangs there. Little did they know that the ACF was waiting for them on the other side. As soon as the PRG troops crossed, ACF members open fired on them, killing half of them. The remaining soldiers retreated to the other side, calling in back-up. While this was happening, a swarm of 50 ACF troops were storming across the bridge. When they got half way across, 25 PRG troops sprung out and open fired upon the ACF militants, killing 10 and wounding 20. This didn't stop the ACF, as they sent in 20 more soldiers. The PRG troops were forced to retreat, but called in artillery support. When artillery support arrived, the ACF troops stopped in their tracks, but did not retreat. It was a standstill. PRG forces retreated, but remained guarding the end of the bridge. The war had officially begun.

Battle of Aloha
On December 20th, 2008, an elite fire-team of PRG troops had infiltrated an ACF weapons warehouse in Aloha. They were attempting to gather intel on their weapons operations, but were captured in the attempt. A rescue squad was sent in, but all of them were killed. So, as a last-resort rescue attempt, the PRG launched a full scale invasion on Aloha.
