The Ludwiggian-Monovian War was a conflict that was fought out between the Republic of Sankt Ludwigshafen and the Monovian militants from the Green. Prior to the war, Monovian troops had invaded Zandarijn, which was defeated after the Sack of Hamstadt. In 1699, Sankt Ludwigshafen launched a limited military incursion called Operation Enduring Fellowship, into Zandarijn, to protect Ludwiggian interests in the town of Oudorp and also to protect that town's inhabitants. Operation Enduring Fellowship was considered by the Stadtparlement to be completed in late 1701, but this appraisal of the situation proved to be premature. In XIII.1702 mounted patrols belonging to the Dragonerkorps Ludwigshafen encountered Monovian scouts, belonging to the Monovian Royal Army trespassing into the Lanzerwald. The scouts were apprehended and their belongings searched, they were found to be in the possession of maps detailing the fortifications of Stadt Sankt Ludwighsafen and the defences of Oudorp and Louisville. The Stadtparlement was informed of the findings and resolved to declare that the republic was under attack, and that it would have to fight a war to stamp out the Monovian threat.
