Second British Empire Internal Conflicts

The Second British Empire Internal Conflicts were a series of violent conflicts that started in the Second British Empireball after it illegally annexed the Republic of Ireland (reunified with Northern Ireland). The conflicts escalated through the years as more severe communists and separatists started to rise all over Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England.

History
The Legitimate IRAball was organized with help from the Russian Greater SFSRball to get independence from the British in a non diplomatic way, as they believed at the best the British would give independence to Ireland by putting a puppet government in Dublin, the IRA wanted total economic and political independence.

The IRA at the beginning didn't have much power as most people refused to engage in violence. But following the years with the escalation of the Cold War and the influence of conflicts around the world, the Irish started to get engaged on armed struggle toward their independence.

Another thing that contributed to the beginning of high scale violence in Ireland was the rise of anti-monarchists, left nationalists and communists in other parts of the British Empire, this made them more confident to start fighting as they felt they were not alone. The conflicts even now more intense continued for some time as low scale with periodical violence just.

After the Anti-Communist War in Australia, many Irish were angry with the British government and started to protest for being forced to get involved in the war in a way or another, the IRA took the opportunity to do some attacks. The British government tried to calm down the tensions by starting new projects of infrastructure in Ireland, also opening some new factories. These projects however stopped in the 2270s and were replaced by austerity policies as the British Empire entered in crisis together with the rest of the Eurozone, making the working class more unsatisfied, especially in Ireland.

After the Great War in Eastern Europe many Irish thought it was the time to face the British invasors once and for all. The New Soviet Unionball had signed a treaty of non aggression with the Western European countries with the end of the conflict, so technically they couldn't continue arming the Irish, therefore, in the last months of the war they sent the last supply of weapons to their Irish allies, all heavy artillery.

In the end of the 2270s the IRA together with communist parties and militant organizations in Scotland and England organized a general strike that ended up in violent clashes with the police that attempted to crackdown on the workers demonstrations. The IRA and other armed movements responded with even more violence, resulting in casualties on the police, plus they started the occupation of factories and government bodies, the British government then decided to send the army to crackdown on the revolt.

In 2280 the Legitimate IRAball had launched in Ireland what it called as the first offensive of a series of four, it started in the summer and would end in the next summer with at least half of Ireland liberated already. The campaign got a lot of popular support and the British got huge casualties, losing more than 1.700 soldiers in almost one year of conflicts. The British government then announced Ireland would get its independence but that wouldn't negotiate with the IRA.

In 2281 the conflicts continued bad all over Britain and the government was tired of fighting in Ireland by seeing the escalation of violence in England. They approved the Irish independence and said by January 1st of 2282 Ireland would be an independent republic. Of course the IRA despised it as the British did exactly what they expected, settled a puppet government in Ireland.

Ireland was planned to be forgotten but war there continued very bloody in the Civil War in the Free Republic of Ireland in which the British had to support the Irish government or else they would be under siege by the IRA.

With the proxy conflict going also inside the Eurozone between the Republic of Greater Germanyball and the Second British Empireball, communists in England decided it was time to rise up against the monarchy at full force. After the French Post-split Wars the British troops were worn out, and having to face all the demonstrations and insurgent groups would be impossible, but then in Germany, the Reich coup followed by the Reich Civil War started and the British then stopped worrying about the rest of Europe.

Now the British could revive itself by saving the Eurozone under its control and defeating the internal threats, in the period of 2289-2295 the communists suffered huge casualties after their attempted offensive failed in the two fronts in both England and Scotland, but they still had force to re organize themselves in the next following years to start a new offensive.

In 2300 the Reichtangle imposed itself after the bloody victory in the German civil war and urged for a new order in Europe away with communists and capitalists. Fascist armed groups started to rise up in Britain then and fight against both the communists and the government, the situation was not under control anymore.

In most of Europe the New Soviet Unionball had crushed the fascist movements, but Britain couldn't allow them to take all of Germany so they nuked it before to destroy the Reich government once and for all and invaded France to reach the West portion of Germany before the Soviets could. At this time the government had signed a truce with the local communists to crack down on fascists. But the communists broke the treaty and launched a new insurgency against the government in order to prevent it from occuppying Germany, this forced them to retreat and stay only with France.

With the situation under control in mainland Europe, and the new spheres between the British and the Soviets divided in France and Germany, the two signed a new peace agreement that didn't include in the case of the British the communists and in the case of the Soviets the anti-communist opposition that the British were supporting in Poland, Lithuania, Hungary, Ukraine and even in Russia.

During the 2310s, the British government wanted to kill all communists more than everything, but they still resisted for many years the offensives the British army would launch against its main focuses. They just started to be categorically weakened after all those years of war, the British government had appealed to nationalism too much against the communists and most of the population fell for this propaganda, that got two forms: one rightist and other center-left and social democratic. The conflicts continued till around 2320 when the insurgency had failed in its main objective and became low scale.

Clashes didn't stop and local communist organizations would continue to occasionally face the police and the army, but they didn't have power to crush the establishment.
