Mikroraptor’s Irish Civil War
The Irish Civil War (August 10, 1920-September 5th, 1921) Was a conflict fought between Irish Monarchists, Irish Republicans, the Hibernian People's Army, and the Ulster Free State.
The conflict began with the death of Iaoichim I, the Hohenzollern king of Ireland.
His son Searlas III, was only four years old.
The Ulster free state used the opportunity to try and reclaim the lands of the Province of Ulster. At the same time, Socialists and Nationalists rose up across the countryside.

Irish nationalist forces soon United into the Irish Republic, while the socialists formed the Hibernian People's Army.

Above can be seen the socialists and nationalists' peak. The royal Irish government had the advantage of foreign backing, while the rebels had the capacity for guerrilla warfare. Soon, a stalemate was reached between the Republican forces and the Royals. The royalists then doubled down on the socialists, killing their leader, and then moving northward on the Ulsterian forces.
Unable to reach a decisive victory against the Republican forces, the two factions signed an agreement, limiting the power of the monarchy, and the German influence over the country. Ireland would remain a German ally, but would be far more liberalized and self sufficient than most of the members of Mitteleuropa. View attachment 481503
