The Vlmemoshic Wars is a series of wars of independence, ethnic conflicts and insurgencies that take place in Vlmemosh from 1994 to this day. The conflicts both led up to and resulted from the breakup of Vlmemosh. Vlmemoshic constituent communes declared independence due to unresolved tensions between ethnic minorities in the new countries, which fuelled the wars. While most of the conflicts ended through peace accords that involved full international recognition of new states, they resulted in a significant number of deaths as well as severe economic damage to the region.
Background
Vlmemosh was a multi-ethnic federation where the regions had very broad autonomy. However, Vlmemosh was primarily a federation of South Masiс peoples and this created certain problems with the Dashars in Dibave and Dorozan, the Sylazians in southern Alakaes and southern Hasan and the Tyunyis in Humosh, northeastern Istlurlobe and northern Yerishe. They felt left out in this federation. Despite the fact that they constituted the majority in the previously mentioned regions.
But even among the South Masic peoples of Vlmemosh, tension remained. The South Masic peoples of Vlmemosh can be quite clearly divided by religious affiliation. One part strictly adheres to the Rolovian Gharam, the other to Qasamism. The Vlmemoshic government tried to eliminate religious differences by promoting atheism and renunciation of religion. Programs to combat religion over 70 years have not achieved much success; religion remains widespread in homes and remains an important part of the life of people.
The economic situation in Vlmemosh also contributed to the conflict. The much faster growing economies of Alakaes, Hasan and Yerishe, at the expense of their own funds, had to pull out the weaker economies of Dorozan and Nokonozan. At the same time, the economy of Vlmemosh as a whole stagnated. The country's population gradually became poorer, and inflation, manifested in the form of shortages of various goods, grew. Also, huge funds from the national budget (by the end of Vlmemosh's existence, about 48% of all budget funds) went to the national army of Vlmemosh and armies of individual communes.
From the very beginning of Vlmemosh's existence, various South Masic nationalists (both individual peoples and supporters of the one South Masic state) and leftists (Kúúlists, Balkists and NAMists) periodically called Vlmemosh a Nokon ethnostate. Subsequently, these thoughts became more and more common. These ideas were promoted by the Istlurlobean National Rejuvenated Army of Vanostelia (INRAV) and Sylazian Black League (SBL), which were active in Istlurlobe and in the south of Alakaes. Also, certain doubts about the equality of all communes and the peoples within them were entertained in Dibave, Dorozan, Yerishe and Humosh, where there was a significant proportion of the non-South Masic population.
In 1947, Dŕmur Titó came to power in Vlmemosh. Throughout his rule, he tried to unite the peoples of Vlmemosh into a single Vlmemoshic people. However, this ultimately resulted in a policy of nokonization of Vlmemosh. The result of this policy is the assassination of Titó in 1992. After his death, chaos ensues in the central government. The country is temporarily headed by a council of deputies whose first decision is to soften censorship. However, this leads to the fact that criticism of the government and statements for secession from Vlmemosh begin to arise from everywhere. The communes gradually began to look towards secession, but tried to do this not so obviously, because they were afraid of the deployment of national troops if something happened. The most active separatist movements were in Nokonozan, Yerishe, Istlurlobe and Dibave. They all believed that in Vlmemosh they were oppressed and deprived of their rights.
Over the course of two years, power in the country gradually begins to transfer from the central government to the regions, and under these conditions, the most economically successful and most separatist-minded communes begin to openly advocate secession. In June 1994, the central government came into conflict with the communal governments, tried to liquidate them and unify the country, but this ended in failure and the final breakdown of relations not only between the central government of Vlmemosh and the communal governments, but also the government of Vlmemosh and the government of the Transrolovian Communes, which did not support the decision central government. After this, it was only a matter of time before Vlmemosh began to collapse.
