Polish-Lithuanian Uprising

The Polish-Lithuanian Uprising, also known as the Krakow Uprising, the Kaunas Uprising, or the Polish-Lithuanian Rebellion was a rebellion by Polish and Lithuanian forces against the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. It started on December 29th, 2019, and lasted until Krakow and Kaunas were bombed by Soviet forces. The uprising, which saw the Polish-Lithuanian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic declare independence, was internationally rejected as illegitimate by nations such as the USA, France, Germany, Netherlands, and Japan, who all denounced the uprising and agreed that the 2 cities and nearby land were part of the Soviet Union. However, Tuscany saw this uprising as an opportunity to weaken their enemy and supported the uprising with weapons and tools. Due to the potential of these cities being used to defeat Soviet forces in Poland and the Baltics, General Secretary and Emperor Pip made the decision to bomb both Krakow and Kaunas with TNT and End Crystal raids. This uprising was also one of the causes of the Great War.

Background
For quite some time, there was a SSR (Soviet Socialist Republic) that had more autonomy and was less controlled from Riga than any of the other Republics. This republic was the Polish-Lithuanian Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic (known as the PLC SSR). The PLC SSR was formed out of a desire for Wucrew and Feline to create a Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, despite the Baltics and Poland being under tight control of the Soviet Union (As the nation's largest towns, the capitol Riga, and personal home of Emperor Pip, Warsaw were both in this region). Pip would not allow any sort of independent nation in one of the most vital regions of the nation, and instead offered an autonomous SSR to Wucrew and Feline to satisfy their desire for a Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. This agreement worked, as the 2 had the freedom to build without Communist Party interference, and Pip was assured that the Poland and Baltics were unified and continued to create this region into a defensive citadel.

This agreement between the 2 parties would not last forever. The PLC SSR pushed the boundaries of their autonomy, and would continue to anger more and more nations across the world with their aggressive actions. The Suez Crisis would occur due to Feline and Wucrew trying to meddle in Egyptian affairs, among other situations. Pip would use diplomacy to calm the other nations down each time and assured them that the 2 would get their act together.

On December 17th, 2019, the PLC SSR requested independence from Pip. It was rejected by Pip, and the Supreme Soviet, along with the nation's Supreme Court declaring that independence declaration was and would be unconstitutional unless Pip allowed them to leave. Talks between Wucrew and Pip began but ended in failure for the PLC SSR. Pip threatened that any attempt to leave would be seen as an attack on Soviet sovereignty and that they had enough control already.

As it turns out, around this time, Pip intended on dismantling the Polish-Lithuanian Autonomous SSR, and wanted to split it up between the existing Polish SSR and the Lithuanian SSR. Pip and his generals agreed to announce this plan on New Years Eve of 2019, going into effect the day after. Pip did this in part to stop their meddling in foreign affairs and to work on a railroad system that the PLC SSR would not allow in their SSR.

Before the uprising began, one final round of diplomatic talks between Wucrew and Pip happened, however, Pip refused to give in. This was enough reason in Wucrew and Feline's opinions, to begin an Uprising.

The Uprising Begins
On December 30th, 2019, just 1 day before Pip intended on dissolving the PLC SSR, the Polish-Lithuanian Autonomous SSR declared independence from the Soviet Union, forming the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, which they said was a neutral nation that would not be involved in any fighting. Pip ordered that all roads to Krakow and Kaunas be blocked and that the Red Army mobilize and be ready to fight within 48 hours. Due to Soviets not being prepared, the rebels were able to take Kaunas and Krakow in no time, and had killed all Soviet officials who refused to comply with their new government. This massacre, along with Pip being respected in the international community, gave most major nation reasons not to back the rebel forces. However, there was one exception: Tuscany. Also known as Pax-Greecia, Tuscany had been in a Cold War with the Soviets and began to lose players and lose proxy wars. Whomsty Boi, leader of this nation, saw this uprising as a good opportunity to hit the Soviets in a spot that would damage them badly. Whomsty Boi ordered Protection IV armor for the rebels and began to arm them with God Swords.

Pip ordered that Soviet forces siege the cities, but before then, offered to not imprison any rebels if they just surrendered. Some rebels defected to the Soviets, and some began to dig in their trenches even more. On New Years Day, 2020, Pip began a minor bomb campaign against roads and military based in Krakow and Kaunas. The Soviet Commanders did not target civilian centers, since they believed many of them were against this uprising. After receiving supplies from Tuscany, Wucrew drew up a plan to win the war. He would take the nearby Warsaw, then march to Konigsberg, then link up with Kaunas' rebels, and then finally, march north onto Riga. However, as Wucrew reached Warsaw, his forces were defeated by General Polyzium's army, and he was forced to retreat.

Meanwhile, Kaunas' northern sector had been retaken by Soviet forces, and much of the civilian population with it. The rebels retreated to the south of the city and began fighting door to door in factories and offices. Kaunas also began to run out of supplies such as food, and they were running out of supplies faster than Krakow was. However, thanks to a stolen batch of supplies, the rebels continued to fight.

Tuscany Intervenes
On January 8th, 2020, King Whomsty Boi and his armies marched across Hungary and Germany, into Krakow, and began to support the rebels. This action had brought the Soviets into the Great War. The Soviets ordered Tuscany to begin their withdraw from Krakow in 24 hours, or face war. Tuscany responded by withdrawing all diplomats from the USSR and declaring war on January 10th 2020.

The longstanding Soviet-Tuscan Cold War had just gotten warm, and Pip's generals began to plan the defeat of the rebels and Tuscany. A new, deadly weapon called an End Crystal was just created by Soviet Scientists and Pip intended on using it against Tuscany. In addition, the KGB were able to assassinate General DaddyBigAndTall, which dealt a major blow to the Tuscan High Command.

Destruction of Krakow and Kaunas
The new End Crystals had been considered an option against the rebels, but Pip feared using them would cause other nations to rush and create as many End Crystals as possible. However, much of the Red Army was campaigning across Southeastern Europe and the Soviets could not muster up much more forces. Thus, it was decided that the civilian populations would be given ample time to escape before Soviet forces would withdraw and the End Crystals would be used. On January 18th, 2020, Pip authorized the use of End Crystals against Krakow and Kaunas. Within 20 seconds, the rebel forces were all killed, including Wucrew and Feline. Any remaining forces either surrendered or fled into Tuscany.

While the rebels were all but wiped out, and Tuscany was kicked out of Poland, Pip did not see this as a victory, and neither did much of his generals. He had to bomb 2 cities and many players were killed. In addition, Tuscany and the USA began to develop End Crystals after watching the potential they had to destroy entire cities.
