== '''Background''' ==

In 2035, following the nukes, the [[Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic]] faced an onslaught from the [[Republic of Russia]] and the crumbling Russian Federation, during the [[2nd Russian Revolution|Second Russian Revolution]]. He was only kept alive thanks to the [[Union of Russia]] seeking to keep him as a buffer against the [[Republic of Russia]] in the northeast. Now reduced to a pathetic rumpstate, armed only with an army of 100 000 and a dream of reunifying the Soviet Union, the Russian SFSR hoped to expand in any way possible in order to gain back his lost power.

===== '''Initial Push''' =====

==== '''Initial Push''' ====

On the 10th of May, 2039, [[Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic|RSFSR]] began his invasion. As soon as the war was declared, the [[Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic|Russian SFSR]] began marching north, quickly capturing the villages of Sogra, Lambas and Verkhnyaya Toima as well as heading for Bereznik.

===== '''Counter-Offensive''' =====

==== '''Counter-Offensive''' ====

After two weeks the [[Komi Republic]] had mobilized his army and began a counter-offensive in the north, quickly taking back Sogra. Following this the [[Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic|Red Army]] sent reinforcements from the west, managing to take back the small village over the course of June. As these reinforcements were sent however, [[Komi Republic|Komi]] was able to focus his counter-offensives in the now underdefended west and would eventually be able to recapture Lambas before the war would grind to a stalemate by early August.

===== '''September Truce''' =====

==== '''September Truce''' ====

In September, Udmurtia demanded a peace treaty to be mediated, threatening to call in the [[Republic of Russia]] if refused, to which the [[Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic|RSFSR]] agreed, considering he wasn't managing to make any gains anyway.

In accordance with the truce, the new borders would be drawn along the current stalemated frontline.

== '''Lacking Development''' ==

==== '''Importance of Villages''' ====

None of the small villages that was fought over had any sizable populations, the largest of them being Verkhnyaya Toima at only 6 000 people. The real value of these small villages was rather their supply, due to the lacking infrastructure of the region.

The real value of these small villages was rather their supply, due to the lacking infrastructure of the region. The [[Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic|RSFSR]] would later develop these small villages considerably as their homeless solidiers would move in. Over half of the population would however stay in Kotlas.

==== '''Lack of Communications''' ====

Part of the reason for the war, other than the [[Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic|Russian SFSR]]'s hunger for expansion, could be contributed to the lack of communications between [[Komi Republic|Komi]] and the [[Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic|RSFSR]], even during peace negotiations, where [[Udmurtia]] would have to be negotiating on the behalf of [[Komi Republic|Komi]]. This lack of direct contact largely stemed from the [[Komi Republic]] being shy, [[Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic|Russia]] being paranoid and the lacking infrastructure of both countries.

=== '''Follow Up''' ===

With tension between the two countries not fully settling and with the [[Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic]] still very small and discontent, a [[2nd Union War]] would eventually flare up in 2075.
