Civil War (Prussian Unification)
The Prussian Unification (German: Preußische Vereinheitlichung), also known as the Ternarran Civil War (German: Tenarran Bürgerkrieg), was the nine-month series of events that led to the creation of the Prussian Empire. The conflict occured between 3 factions - the Imperialist Faction, the Revolutionist Faction, and the Loyalist Faction. The conflict began on June 3, 2008, after the King of Tenarra was killed by a gunshot wound to the head while on a State visit in. After attacks by the Revolutionary Faction against the government of Tenarra, those still loyal to the Royal Family and the then government created the Loyalist Faction to repel the revolutionaries. After some time in the war, Alfred von Schliefen, then Minister of Justice, reformed the Imperialist Union of Tenarra into the Imperialist Faction. The Civil War lasted until March 27, 2009, with the Imperialists taking control of Tenarra and disestablishing the old system, forming the Imperial Dominion of Prussia. The conflict, though relatively short, involved the death of 10 million people, one of the highest war-related death rates historically in the nations that had made up Tenarra. Prussian war historians attribute this to the use of modern weapons technology in blitz tactics, and the conscription of hundreds of thousands for use by the different factions.
