The Moellian War (Aegean: Μοέλλικη Πόλεμος) was a military conflict fought from 1951 to 1965 in the region of Moellia between the Pruecia Gioki State in the Gioki Bloc and the People's Republic of Rhayna (DLR), the Democratic Republic of Nea-gy (LDN), and allies in the Socialist Bloc. The Gioki Bloc was loyal to the authoritarian government of Pruecia established in 1948, while the Socialist Bloc was an alliance of People's Republic of Rhayna, the Democratic Republic of Nea-gy, and smaller Aegean republics south of the Pruecia Gioki State, with special importance of the republics of Athelea and Caledone. The war was variously viewed as a religious struggle, a struggle between fascism and communism, a struggle between democratic republics and imperialism, and by the end of the war, it transformed into a struggle between Moellian nationalists and pan-moellianists, both inside and outside Pruecia. The Socialists won the war, which ended in early 1965, in large part due to the war fatigue of the state of Pruecia, the international support of nations like the Kustannan Empire, and the assassination of the Pruecian Igetis Elian Vasileiou by pan-moellianist generals, and the United Provinces of Rhayna, Alla-gy and Nea-gy was formed under a constitutional, federal, and social democratic system, which continues to exist nowadays.
The war began after the invasion of the Eleutherian Republic of Athelea on August 7, 1951 by the Grigora Veli Dispatch (rapid reaction forces) of the Gioki Pruecia State, led by the Igetis Haris Kalomiris against the democratically elected government of Athelea. The small republic was fully invaded in a matter of hours, and the invasion was condemned by the Aegean republics of Alla-gy, Rhayna and Nea-gy. Soon after, the Grigora Veli Dispatch continued with their attack, invading the Free Republic of Caledone on August 8, 1951. The two invasions were justified by the Gioki Pruecia's government as executed to avoid the socialist takeover of the governments in those republics, although the real reason was their petroleum reserves and the need of Pruecia to secure its borders. The war was officially declared by Nea-gy on August 9, 1951, and soon after joined by Rhayna and the republics of Corcyra, Masis, Delos, Pseria and Cyrene, and the invasions of the Gioki Pruecia State were declared as illegal imperialist expansions by the Socialist Bloc. As the war started 2 years after the start of the Great War, it did not receive much international attention until the start of the Iron Century in 1955, where the Gioki Pruecia State remained isolated and anchored to the Great War period while the Socialist Bloc, specially Rhayna, started receiving foreign aid.
To this day, the Moellian War remains as the most expansive and lethal war of the region by wide margins, covering the entirety of the region and accumulating close to 3.2 million casualties in soldiers and civil casualties. Most of the casualties happened in Southern Alla-gy, attributed to the Pruecian death marches and forced labour camps and its nature as the conflict's frontier. The effects of the war are still observed nowadays in the demography and history of UPRAN.
