The Weissersteiner Civil War (Alman: Weißersteiner Bruderkrieg) was a civil war fought in Weisserstein fought from 1939 to 1945 between Monarchists loyal to the House of Lichtenburg-Hohenzollern, Communists of the Weissersteiner Council Republic, and Strasserists under the Greater Weissersteiner Realm. Due to the international political climate at the time, the war had many facets and attracted international responses from many different players, making the Weissersteiner Civil War one of the most important conflicts that would eventually led to the Great War.

Combatants

Monarchists

The Monarchists, recognized by most in the international community as the legitimate government of Weisserstein, fought to maintain the Weissersteiner throne from the insurrection of the Strasserists and the Communists. The Monarchist faction included the supporters of the House of Lichtenburg-Hohenzollern, moderate nationalists, various factions of democrats (including Christian-Muslim democrats and social democrats), disillusioned Strasserists (Stenner Faction), and most conservatives.

The Monarchists included the majority of the important religious figures, important elements of the army, most large landowners, and many businessmen. The Monarchist base largely consisted of the middle classes and conservative peasant smallholders. The religious aspect of the faction became particularly pronounced as a consequence of the burning of churches and mosques alongside the killing of clergymen in areas controlled by both the Strasserists and Communists, with the Revolutionary Vanguard of the RSL committing the most noteworthy atrocities.

Unlike the other factions, the Monarchist enjoyed significant international support, namely from Stoinia and Frankist Gianlucaland.

Communists

The Communist's supporters within Weisserstein ranged from radical social democrats to communists. Their base was primarily secular and urban but also included landless peasants and was particularly strong in regions where both the Monarchists and the Strasserists were shunned. Spearheading the faction was the Red Star League of Communists, which splintered from the Social Democratic Alliance. Other major factions within the Communist forces are the Proletarian Unity Party and several major anarchist groups.

The Communists received minor support from the First Clashonian Republic.

Strasserists

The Strasserist's strength came mostly from the National Strasserist Party, founded by ideologue Jakob Straßer, and inspired by the rise of fascism throughout Pacifica. The party catered towards the far right ultranationalists hardliners in Weisserstein. However, due to disagreements with regards to how they were to approach Gianlucaland, the party split into two factions, an anti-Gianlucaland faction, spearheaded by Straßer himself and Martin Heusmann, and a pro-Gianlucaland faction spearheaded by individuals such as Joachim Stenner and Ralf Freudenberg. Eventually, most of the members of the pro-Gianlucaland faction of the NSP switched their allegiance to the Monarchist faction.

Only one nation openly supported the Strasserist faction during the Civil War: Fauderland. From Fauderland, the Strasserist enjoyed military support. Though due to the naval blockade imposed by the Reichsmarine in the Gulf of Brave Lions, aid from Fauderland became increasingly strained. The Clashonian Republican Guard was also allegedly supportive of the Strasserist cause.
