The Davyosok War (Damserz: Davyosók ce-hód, Vosan: ) was a border conflict between Siyezan and Vosan involving the disputed Davyosok region. It is the most recent military crisis between both countries.
Background
After the fall of Khezian Sannism in 1991, the regimes in both Vosan and Siyezan saw the need for greater cooperation to ensure the stability of their power. A big obstacle to this had been the disputed Davyosok region, a majority Siyezi area claimed by Siyezan since 1920.
In 1991, Vos president Ô Iâyes ceded the region to Siyezan in exchange for closer cooperation, in immediate response to the Khezid revolution. Even after his assassination, his successor Savatiyes retained the treaty.
(stuff happens within Vosan)
After the overthrowing of Savatiyes in 1999 and the reinsauration of democracy, president-elect of Vosan () considered the treaty illegitimate and claimed Davyosok as Vos territory under occupation, and he demanded Siyezi president Vanali Duye to return his forces home peacefully, to which Vanali refused and instead ordered to prepare defensive possitions within the area.
It took Vosan a year to stabilise their internal situation enough to send soldiers to deal with the region.

Aftermath
After the surrender, Siyezan had to abandon all its claims to the area, in exchange for it being granted a high autonomy status.
The victory had the effect of giving legitimacy to the newly established Vos government, while it had the opposite effect on Siyezan. The authoritarian regime that ruled the country became extremely unpopular after the defeat, which is considered a direct cause of the Sohamist Revolution 2 years later.
