The Reunification

Overview
The Reunification (also known as the Gardenian Civil Wars) was a series of civil wars in the country of Gardenia from 1929 to 1956, fought between the several regional militias in an attempt to consolidate power after the Great Depression. The civil war began primarily as a result of instability after the collapse of the Gardenian economy during the Great Depression. War broke out in October 1929 when Champaign militia forces attacked the town of Savoy in Southern Gardenia just over a month after the collapse of the economy. This sparked a series of paranoid preemptive strikes in a free for all civil war between the formerly allied regions of the Gardenian Confederacy. Each region faced another in a struggle for their very right to exist.

The war effectively ended on November 27th, 1955, when Urbana General Robert F. Karvin surrendered to Champaign Generalissimo Mikael Andreus at the Battle of First & Kirby. Urbana militia Captains throughout the region followed suit, the last surrender on land occurring December 23rd. Much of Urbana's infrastructure was destroyed, especially its sidewalks. The war-torn nation then entered the Rebuilding era in a partially successful attempt to rebuild the country and reform its civic institutions into a centralized, democratic state.
