Leasath Civil War
The Leasath Civil War was a brutal civil war that ravaged Leasath between 2009 and 2019.[1]
History
The Leasath Civil war began in 2009 under unclear circumstances.[1] A known participant of the war was the Chimera Squadron, whose actions in the civil war boosted their reputation across South Osea.[2] Aurelia provided humanitarian and financial aid to Leasath, but the aid was intercepted and appropriated by Diego Gaspar Navarro, who used the money to purchase and sell weapons.[3]
The civil war lasted ten long years[1] before coming to an end in 2019.[4] Navarro played a key role in ending the conflict, and he was later revered as "the hero who had brought the civil war to an end."[5]
Aftermath
The long years of the civil war left Leasath underdeveloped, war-torn, and impoverished. Its economic troubles were such that in 2020, a single glass of red wine was roughly equal to several years' worth of an average citizen's salary.[6]
Navarro had made a fortune off of arms dealing during the civil war. Due to appropriating Aurelia's aid money for his own profit during the war, Navarro was able to falsely accuse Aurelia of exploiting Leasath's internal turmoil, leading to the Aurelian War in 2020. This conflict served as a replacement for the civil war, allowing Navarro to amass an even greater fortune.[3]
