Editing 2nd Spanish Civil War (section)

=== Early Engagements ===

==== Rebellion ====
In the early days of the outbreak of the civil war, the Spaniards of Despair marched from the northern coast, southwards, as was laid out in the [[Divisor Protocols]]. Along with the main revolt conducted in Léon, the Spaniards of Despair also had a second uprising conducted in the south, however this was quickly put down by government forces, as heavy prioritization was put on wiping it out first in order to clear out the south. This was so, since the anarchist Spanish Assembly had risen up in Barcelona and rallied supporters all the way down in Valencia and Murcia. To the Spanish government, this made saving anything north of Madrid a lost cause, and so the south was prioritized.

==== Seperatists ====
Shortly after [[Fifth Reich of Deutschland (AFOE: Collapse)|Germany]] caught [[Poland]] for bluffing, regarding his threat of war declaration unless German support would cease, Catalonia made a deal with the [[Spain|Spanish government]] where he would join in return for getting to annex all of his liberated lands. This was yet another desperate attempt of [[Spain]] to take the easy way out by avoiding to deal with the problems himself. Nevertheless, Andorra would also join forces with the Catalonians and the Basque would intervene too, however Basque would also fight the [[Spain|Spanish government]]. After seeing the Catalonian, Andorran and Basque offenses become major successess, Andalusia would get bolstered to rebel against [[Spain]] in persuit of independence.

==== Consolidation ====
Over the course of the summer of 2090, the Spaniards of Despair would successfully take control over Galicia and would together with Basque capture the region of Navarra after having successfully breached the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebro Ebro River]. In spite of these two successess however, the annihilists were unable to march on Madrid and their southern forces got surrounded and defeated by government forces, with only a few of them managing to escape and connect up with the bulk of their forces in the north. Meanwhile, the Spanish Assembly would make significant advancements westwards, pushing to the outskirts of Madrid and meeting up with Andalusia at the city of Granada. The Spanish Assembly would however be forced to relocate their capital to Valencia, as Catalonian and Andorran forces, with aid from Occitania, would capture Barcelona and breach the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ebro Ebro] from the north.

==== Anglosphere Intervention ====

On the 10th of September, 2090, Portugal managed to convince the [[United Rationales of America]] to greenlight Anglosphere intervention in the civil war in order to stp the [[Fifth Reich of Deutschland (AFOE: Collapse)|German]]-backed rebels from taking over. Portugese forces entered into Galicia but were forced to halt their offensive as the Spaniards of Despair invaded from the east. American forces previously fighting in [[Italy]] were now sent to invade the Balearic Islands and use it as a launching ground for an amphibious invasion of Murcia, which was very successfull. During these campaigns, Andalusia and the Spanish Assembly continued slowly advancing in from the south while the Spaniards of Despair pushed Basque back to the Pyrenees and laid Madrid under siege.

==== Gateway Protocols ====
By 2091 the [[Spain|Spanish State]] had become desparate to get out of his predicament. Because of this, he chose to look through the [[Gateway Protocols]], one of the classified documents given to him by [[France]], which supposedly held levarage against the [[Fifth Reich of Deutschland (AFOE: Collapse)|Germans.]] Looking through these documents, he accidentally summoned the demon [[Leviathan]], who was quick to offer him an easy way out. On the 4th of May 2091, the [[Spain|Spanish State]] reluctantly accepted this offer, and [[Leviathan]] would be elected his ruler, creating the esoteric fascist demonocracy Infernal Iberia. Immediately after this, the [[Anglosphere]] issued a war declaration on him.
