Mediocre Achievements on the Front
Diverted forces from the Benacian Union to the Batavian front, give the Shirerithians some breathing room. Definitive pushback against the Benacians in Maltenstein region. Succesfull offensive in the Elwynn region (not much land gain, but giving the army a breather and pushes the front farther away from the capital).
Return to the Capital
With the pushback on the Maltenstein Front and some advancements in the surrounding areas of Shirekeep, the government of Thuylemans returns to Shirekeep.
Great Fear and Prison Massacres
With the government returned to the capital, rumours of a coup d'état starts to spread. Masses assault prisons and noble houses. Massacres follow.
Collapse of the Constitutional Monarchy and Radicalisation (1737 - 1740)
Recession of 1737 and the Fake War
Shireroth's government declares its unwillingness to pay back its debts (made before the War to pay for necessary investments in infrastructure) to Nouvelle Alexandrie and Natopia. The Fake War breaks out between Shireroth and Nouvelle Alexandrie over the defaulted debt.
Food Riots
National debt, increased demands of the army, a failing currency and trade deficits, combined with farmers unwilling (and hiding) to sell their goods for cheap prices, lead to food shortages and riots. The moderate government loses control.
Revolutionary Committee of Shirekeep (1737)
Food and street riots leave the official government and Legislature unable to take charge of state affairs. Under leadership of Erasmo Laegel, who is elected as new Prefect by popular vote by the revolutionary mob, the Revolutionary Committee of Shirekeep is established. It swiftly takes charge over the city and keeps the government in check.
The Thuylemans Government is disbanded, and its ministers arrested for treason. Laegel is appointed Steward.
In a declaration to the three Chambers of the Legislature, Laegel announces that the government will henceforth complete the revolution and improve it by taking away the last influence and power of the Kaiseress. De facto, Shireroth becomes a real republic with a Throne without power or influence.
The Flight to Foley (1737)
Kaiseress Salome flees from Shirekeep after her humiliation at the hand of the Revolutionary Committee of Shirekeep. She's helped by loyalists to escape from Foley with an airship. The mission, while initially succesful is betrayed and Salome is kidnapped to Hurmu, where she's locked up by Humanists supports.
Failed Jinkeai Expedition
A military expedition, sponsored by émigrés, Humanists, Hurmudan opportunists and supported by a fraction of the Jingdaoese population. An armed force of 12,000 volunteers, and one armoured tank landed unopposed near the town of Xiahu (after having bribed coastal defenses), in the Duchy of Jinkeai. The expedition aimed to gather and mobilise support for Prince Yukio in the Eastern Imperium, ending the Mango Anarchy and the lockdown in the Legislature. The invasion failed miserably, when the military forces of Yukio were confronted by Shirerithian troops near Sisera Wharf. It had a major negative impact, dealing a disastrous blow to the monarchist cause (especially in the aftermath of Salome's Flight to Foley). It emboldened the radicals in the Legislature to introduce a reign of terror to secure the nation.
