2352 Revolution

The 2352 Revolution was an uprising in United Jakania against the control of Deltaria, mainly centred around the administrative centre of Wakanda in the Nilaka Province.

On the 5th February, 2352, over 250,000 citizens, many of them Islamic, secretly armed by a foreign power, whose identity is still unknown, stormed government buildings in all major cities, took over police stations and established roadblocks on all highways.

This amazing co-ordinated effort took the Deltarian puppet regime totally by surprise, and by the time they called on military aid from Deltaria on the morning of the 7th, much of Jakania was in rebel hands.

Deltarian troops crossed the border, but were hindered by the dense jungle found in northern Jakania, which severely restricted their use of heavy tanks and artillery. Along the main roads, bridges had been blown, and almost all attempts by Deltarian engineers to restore these bridges were subject to ambush by the newly formed Jakanian Resistance Core, or JRF.

The JRF quickly won the support of the populace, and by the beginning of March had managed to take control of around 80% of the country (see map). In April, Deltarian forces decided amid mounting casualties to withdraw to their own territory, in a controversial move which sparked demonstrations back home, but won international support.

By June, all pockets of loyalist resistance had been eliminated, and the Islamic Theocracy of Islamisbad was proclaimed by the victorious JRF.
