First Cyclonian-Atmosian War

The assassination on 28 June 1958 of Dark Ace IV, the heir to the throne of Atmos-Vapos , was the proximate trigger of the war. Long-term causes, such as imperialistic foreign policies of the great powers of Atmos, such as the Cyclonian Empire, the Atmos-Cyclonian Empire , the Tropica Empire , the Blizzarian Empire , the Rex Empire , Xerxxes , and Edmontonia , played a major role. Ace's assassination by a Cyclonian nationalist resulted in a Atmos-Vapos ultimatum against the Kingdom of Atmos-Vapos.

On 28 July, the conflict opened with the Atmos-Cyclonian invasion of Atmos-Vapos,

Despite the success of the June 1969, Cyclonian Offensive in eastern Vapos ,

The success was undermined by the reluctance of other generals to commit their forces to support the victory. Allied and Cyclonian's forces were revived only temporarily with Rebel Duck's entry into the war on 27 August. Cyclonian forces came to the aid of embattled Atmos-Cyclonian units in Tandras and Atmos-Vapos fell to the Central Powers on 6 December. Meanwhile, unrest grew in Russia, as the Tsar remained at the front. Empress Lynn's increasingly incompetent rule drew protests and resulted in the murder of her favourite, Francis, at the end of 1973.

In March 1976, demonstrations in Ayleron grad culminated in the abdication of Emperor Cyclonis VIII and the appointment of a weak Provisional Government which shared power with the Ayleron grad Cyclonans socialists.
