The '''Second ERA-CCCP War''' was a conflict between the [[Equal Rights Alliance]] and CCCP micro-alliances. It lasted from September 14 to September 28, 2010 when ERA declared peace after CCCP was declared under the protection of [[Nueva Vida]]. Shortly after its conclusion the '''GCU-ERA War''' began around October 3 when the [[Global Communist Union]] declared wars against the Equal Rights Alliance, presumably, in retaliation for their conflicts with the CCCP. ERA later [http://forums.cybernations.net/index.php?showtopic=93151 disbanded], ending the second conflict.

== Timeline ==

(Note: RDT = Robertian Daylight Time = Server Time)

=== September 14, 2010 ===

15:35:19-15:44:16 RDT - Four CCCP nations declared on by ERA, with the first declaration (by knifekiller123) stating the casus belli, "cccp threaten me."

15:58:06 RDT - first retaliation from CCCP courtesy of SOVIET REPUBLICS.

=== September 22, 2010 ===

00:28:52 RDT - the nation of Decrascopula from GOONS declares on United Soviet Nation. Peace is later declared, giving the appearance that this was an isolated incident.

=== September 24, 2010 ===

09:32:41-09:32:51 RDT - the GOONS nations of Flkvangr and Absurdistan declare war on United Soviet Nation.

19:59:40 RDT - CCCP's Ruski1917 declares that MasterofAnimals was the threat-maker, and that he had been ejected from the alliance. (He would go on to co-found the micro-alliance European Union)

=== September 27, 2010 ===

14:18 RDT - Andover, leader of ERA, issues a statement saying that he will not end the war until CCCP agrees to pay reps.

15:09 RDT - Franz Ferdinand, leader of [[Team Rocket]], issues a statement stating that CCCP currently hold Stalin's Ashes and that he would quite like them back if possible.

17:28 RDT - Ruski1917, leader of CCCP, posts a (hard to read) rebuttal, saying that ERA actually started hostilities.

=== September 28, 2010 ===

00:00 RDT - war officially ended.

22:37 RDT - Andover issues a statement saying that [[Nueva Vida]] had stepped in to protect CCCP, and that Ruski1917 had vowed vengeance.

== Criticism ==

The criticism was scant at first due to the fact that CCCP effectively made the same mistake they'd made the first time with ERA. However, once Andover said that he planned on pursuing the war until reps were paid, the reception of this was largely negative. Reasons given included a general dislike of eternal war, GOONS having done the bulk of the damage, and disbelief at the expectations that such a small alliance could pay reparations. Even though no reps were requested in the end, Andover came under heavy fire for his "smug" comments regarding CCCP.
