Red Emergency

The Red Emergency is the term given to describe guerrilla war fought between the army of the Commonwealth of Hutori and the Communist Party of Hutori. The Red Emergency saw the split of the coalition that had brought down the monarchy of Hutori years earlier when the Socialist Party of Hutori formed into the Communist Party of Hutori, taking on a more militant agenda which drew the ire of the rest of the parties who did not want Hutori to become a communist dictatorship but rather a democratic republic as they intended. The Communist Party of Hutori would wage a guerrilla war against the government of the Hutori Commonwealth for several years, resulting in many civilian deaths, and several political assassinations including the death of Prime Minister Edward Baines. The Red Emergency threatened to plunge Hutori into a civil war after Baines' death but when the leadership of the Communist Party was either killed or jailed during a massive crackdown on the party by the national army the chances of that happening were put down.
