Hutorian Civil War 1977-1981

The Red Emergency is the historic term given to describe the 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 Eugene 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. The end of the guerrilla war waged by the Communist Party would place Hutori into political stagnation after their defeat and put into question the stability of the national government. By the end of the decade a movement to restore the monarchy was established; in 3245 the monarch would be restored.
