The Second Union War, started as a war between the [[RSFSR]] and the [[Komi Republic]], which would escalate to become much larger than the first.{{ConflictBox|campaignbox=|territory=-RSFSR annexes territory up to the small villages of Sogra and Verkhnyaya Toima, but not Lambas inbetween them.|place=Arkhangelsk Oblast, Komi Republic|timeline=2075-2076|combatant1=Russian SFSR,

=== '''Background''' ===
''See more: [[1st Union War]]''

== '''War''' ==
On the 3rd of June, 2075, bolstered by [[Fifth Reich of Deutschland (AFOE: Collapse)|German aid]], the [[Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic|RSFSR]] declared war on [[Komi Republic|Komi]] after the he had obstained from responding to prior ultimatums. By the 29th of June the [[RSFSR|Red Army]] had marched north long the Northern Dvina river and captured Bereznik.

==== '''Foreign Intervention''' ====
On the 16th of July [[Udmurtia]] joined the war on the side of [[Komi Republic|Komi]], and he also managed to convince the not so enthusiastic [[Republic of Russia]] to join as well, after the [[Republic of Russia|Republic]] rationalized that he would have to conquer [[Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic|RSFSR]] sooner or later anyway. With his morale taking only a minor hit since he had anticipated the possibility of the [[Republic of Russia|Republic]] joining, the [[Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic|RSFSR]] continued his advance until he reached the defended river Pineaga where most of the army of [[Komi Republic|Komi]] had been stationed along. He then split his army in two, one consilidating the south of [[Komi Republic|Komi]], particularly his small land strip south of the Northern Dvina, including the Russian m8 highway for supply. The second army group meanwhile, marched north, capturing the village of Belush'ye and subsequently cutting the [[Komi Republic]] in two on the 6th of November. Due to this, [[Komi Republic|Komi]] would lose control over his eastern lands which would fall under the control of [[RSFSR]] and the [[Republic of Russia]], the frontline vaguely following the Pechora river.

==== '''White Offensive''' ====
Over the course of the following spring and summer, the [[Republic of Russia]] would launch the White Offensive, pushing [[RSFSR]] back considerably. This offensive also included a few minor encirclements, one in the village of Khodovarikha, one in Volonga, one in the entirety of the Kanin Peninsula and one in Tsenogora, where a quarter of the initial northern army group was crushed due to being unable to cross the Reka Mezen' river. In total half of the [[RSFSR]]'s northern army group would be lost, around 60 % of them taken as POWs and the rest getting killed. Two smaller encirclements would also be made in July, one in Koida and one in the forest west of the village of Pinega. During this offensive Karelia would join the war as an ally of the [[RSFSR]] on the 21th of March, breaking the short stalemate between him and [[Komi Republic|Komi]] forcing [[Komi Republic|Komi]] to retreat back to just his capital of Arkhangelsk where he would hold out for a while. The [[Republic of Russia]] would push all the way into [[RSFSR]] propper, capturing the village of Sogra.

==== '''Siege of Arkhangelsk''' ====
Lasting from the 5th of May until the 14th of September, the [[Komi Republic]] showed off an impressive defense, resisting both Karelia and the [[RSFSR]], albeit the southern army group of the [[RSFSR]] was by that oint more focused on preparing for Operation Turnaround than anything. It took Karelia until July to properly enter the city and even then, they were pushed back out again as [[Republic of Russia|Republican]] reinforcements arrived in the following month. Arkhangelsk did not fall until the [[Republic of Russia|Republic]]'s forces fell into disarray following Operation Turnaround.

==== '''Operation Turnaround''' ====
On the 3rd of August, the [[RSFSR]] would use his southern army group to launch an offensive into core [[Republic of Russia|Republic of Russian]] territory, going through the undefended wasteland east of Kotlas, quickly capturing Kirov and spearheading north all the way to the Arctic Sea coast where he captured Chernaya, effecitvely rendering all the forces used in the White Offensive encircled. The [[Republic of Russia]] would manage to encircle Kirov and take back the city with the use of his local border guards in the region along with forces from Udmurtia.

==== '''Treaty of Arkhangelsk''' ====
With the major advances made by the [[RSFSR|Red Army]] towards closing the encirclement and subsequently crushing half of the [[Republic of Russia|Republic]]'s military. The [[Republic of Russia]] decided to save himself from such a devestating defeat by suing for peace, which he did on the 28th of September, 2076, in effect giving up much more land than the [[RSFSR]] ever occupied over the course of the war, his borders now stretching past the Ural Mountains, now all the war to the Ob River. This peace did not last for long however, as the [[Republic of Russia]] only signed it in order to get his army back to safety. The war would as a result restart two week later, in the [[2nd Union War Continuation]].
