1987 Unrest in Tyrdene

The 1987 Unrest in Tyrdene was a period of civil unrest in the Tyrdeneish Peoples Republic, Grenedene, spanning almost a full year, the conflict lead to the death of over 2,000 people, with domestic terrorism and counter-terrorism being tested to their extremes within the nation. The period of unrest ended in December 1987 after several forceful actions by the Grenedeneish Republican Army eliminated the army council of the Tyrdeneish National Army.

The unrest was fueled primarily by nationalism and historical events in Tyrdene which had gone on since the region was first taken by the Kingdom of Grenedene. The primary issue of the conflict was the status of Tyrdene, which the Tyrdeneish Nationalist camp contested with the Tyrdeneish Loyalists and Grenedeneish authorities, the Tyrdeneish Nationalists believed that Tyrdene had to be totally and entirely split from the Grenedeneish Peoples Republic in order to be able to fulfill the wishes of the population at large, while loyalists argued that it would break historic links, ruin the economy, and cause bloodshed in the years to come.

The unrest began with the shooting of civil rights protesters after months of civil dissent, primarily brought about by those seeking to form a new legislature for the Tyrdeneish Peoples Republic, which had been deformed on order of the Tacyn of the Republic Athelstan Dal Eagorm, who wished to bring Tyrdene back under the unitary control of the Government in Eagorm. After this shooting, a full year of guerilla warfare ensued, bringing the entire region to instability as military formations of the Tyrdeneish Nationalists began fighting the forces.

The majority of the deaths caused during the conflict were caused by the Nationalists, who were responsible for about 60% of the total deaths, closely followed by the State Forces at 30%, and the paramilitaries loyal to the government at 10%.
