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 Fascists 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 Monarchist, 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. They were defined namely by their struggle to defend the monarcht. 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, and most conservatives.
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 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 Spartacus League of Communists, which splintered from the Social Democratic Alliance.
Strasserists
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 hard to come by.
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, a pro-Gianlucaland faction and an anti-Gianlucaland faction. Eventually, most of the pro-Gianlucaland members switched their allegiance to the Monarchist faction.
