Background
West and East Hiko had been divded for over two decades with one being capitalist while another being socialist. West Hiko was one of the poorest nations in the world and due to this before the revoultion was on the brink of collapse.

Strikes, Protests and Military Crackdown
Strikes and Protests errupted acorss West Hiko as workers and students protested against the government. Soon afterwards a military crackdown began despite wide spread belief that the armed forces could not spare the resources for one, large portions of the military sided with the protests leading to the deaths of hundreds across the country.

East Hiko Intervention
East Hiko intervened by sending tanks and over 20,000 men into West Hiko, the soldiers were greeted as liberators by large portions of the population. The armed forces of West Hiko which had been greatly weaknened by the crackdown either refused to fight, joined in the East Hiko Intervention or put up heroic but desperate last stands.
