Hamadan Rebellion

The Hamadan Rebellion was an armed conflict fought between the of the Empire of Mennefer against forces of the self-proclaimed  and other rebels during the 1930s. Angered by decades of increased government interference and perceived destructive modernization, the Hamadan Sultanate was announced as an independent state by Akbar of Bakkah during a conference of the region's leaders in Par-Loubii on Sibirwol 4th 1930, where they declared a  against Mennefer. Ultimately seeking the unification of Sabbatarian Napsal, within a couple months Akbar's movement had seized control of the western and central parts of rural Hamada Province and settled into a protracted stalemate against the Menneferian Empire. A policy of was taken against Menneferian-speakers, foreigners, and Jaatunists who did not flee the rebellion's territory, causing extensive internal instability and economic damage. The Sultanate failed to gain international recognition and was targeted by a Menneferian blockade that caused a widespread famine, killing 20-30% of the Hamadan population. Concurrent uprisings in several other regions, while not nearly as dangerous as the Hamadan uprising, played a major role in delaying a quick Menneferian response; Menneferian forces withdrew from Par-Loubii and other cities in early 1932 to plan for a large offensive after Hamadan assaults into the Pejom and Toowan regions. At the start of the final major offensive in Sawol 1933, the Hamadan forces were exhausted and nearing collapse; Akbar attempted to rally his men to maintain their resistance but was grossly outmatched in all aspects of military strength, resulting in a rapid Menneferian offensive. Akbar surrendered to Menneferian forces in Bakkah (Pe-Mekha), his movement's capital city and holy site of White Cap Sabbatarianism, on Sawol 22nd 1933. Cells of resistance to Menneferian governance would continue across the Hamadan desert into the Great Eulhae War. The end of the conflict was marked by of Reeshoohuns across the country as well as the deportation of many Hamadans to camps in northern and eastern Mennefer, an event sometimes referred to as a. The uprising, with its ethnic cleansing of non-Sabbatarians, famine and resulting post-war deportation, caused a massive population drop in the region lasting decades, permanently altering the society of the province.
