==Pre-War Connotations==
After the end of [[The Holy Wilbur-Francis War]] and several minor conflicts, the [[Church of Francis]] and [[The Order of Wilbur]] had entered a relative state of peace.  Of course, the Church of Francis itself was not without any conflict: as the anti-[[Lord1]] team [[The Republic]] rose to prominence in the summer of 2020, the Church of Francis found themselves constantly add odds with them, even resulting in a major series of griefs from the COF's own [[Two Words]] and Olgremont to the old Wilburian base [[Stonetown]].  The Francillian-Republican proxy war was largely in place due to the Republic's growing dissatisfaction with the Church of Francis' motivations, and their perception of Lord1 as a power-hungry tyrant.
[[File:Olgremont Grief 1.png|400px]]
By fall 2020, things had once again slowed down, but there were still growing tensions amid periods of peace.  The [[Battle of Swampland]] was the first major battle between the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis since the Holy War, resulting in a Francillian victory.  There were also a string of bases griefed and utterly decimated by the Church of Francis as part of a targeted attack known as "Operation Red Terror", where the bases of "sinners" were griefed.  The Church of Francis had also been steadily growing, adding more members to its ranks, and even forming a "Red Empire" that would lay claim to numerous bases across the server.  Meanwhile, many other groups on SimPvP were starting to grow weary of what they saw as aggressive recklessness.
[[File:Bos.png|400px]]
In early December 2020, tensions soared to an all-time high.  On December 4th, [[AntHand]] was ambushed and killed by several Francillians in /world; a few days later, on December 7th, [[Sellout9]] and his alt were killed in /world by xexc and Lord1.  Enraged by these unwarranted killings, another battle in /world occurred later that same day, with several soon-to-be People's Coalition members meeting a plethora of Francillians on the battlefield in response, forcing them to flee.  These battles, coupled with the growing resentment towards the Church of Francis' imperialist endeavors and perceived unwarranted griefings, led numerous anti-Francillians to band together and plan an act of war.
==The People's Coalition Declares War==
On December 8th, several players opposed to the Church of Francis convened into a group soon to be known as the "People's Coalition", a loose collective of several pre-established teams on the server, all dedicated specifically to waging war against the Church of Francis.  These groups included [[The Order of Wilbur]], [[GS Trading Co.]], [[YeeterMyPeeter]], [[Goldforge Citadel]], the Order of the Wyvern, and later [[Shakatak]].  Originally, [[TheOnlySlash]] and [[Korijenkins]] had also been involved with the movement, although they were later kicked from the group after a quarrel with Sellout9.  As the People's Coalition moved forward with their plans, it appeared that war was inevitable.
On December 10th, over fifteen People's Coalition members all met at Lakeside Lodge, a Church of Francis outpost created by Aebo a few months earlier.  The base was severely and utterly griefed, and it was here that they decided to officially announce their war declaration: all PC members at Lakeside Lodge spammed the chat with their war declarations against the Church of Francis.  War was officially on.
[[File:Lakeside Lodge 1.png|400px]] [[File:Lakeside Lodge 2.png|400px]] [[File:Lakeside Lodge 3.png|400px]]
Immediately after griefing Lakeside Lodge, the People's Coalition moved to Gibraltar Castle, a massive [[spawn]] temple created by several new Francillian members.  The temple was also severely griefed and destroyed, and any remaining items were looted.

After the grief, the PC forces remained stationed at Gibraltar Castle for over two hours, waiting for any potential Francillians to come by (although this never occurred).  The only fight would arise when INQ_Nikox entered /world, where he was immediately attacked and killed by several PC fighters.  Nonetheless, war had been declared, two Church of Francis bases had been griefed, and tensions had exploded.

==The War Begins==
In response to the PC's war declaration, and the grief of two of their bases, the Church of Francis was quick to react.  On December 11th, numerous Francillian troops ascended on New Obestein, a spawn base created by [[ostrich1414]], [[pippenger]], and [[DiGGing4Gold]] in April 2020.  New Oberstein was utterly and relentlessly griefed, as seen in this video here: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XT1vxT5DkH4].  This came at a time when several PC forces were in /world, awaiting the arrival of COF troops that never came.
[[File:New Oberstein Grief 1.PNG|400px]]
A day later, on December 12th, the mood had changed.  Hours earlier, both PC and COF members had been in talks of hosting a staged, organized battle in /world, specifically between the hours of 9:00-11:00 a.m. EST (2:00-4:00 p.m. GMT).  The terms of battle were agreed; yet once the time came, the COF failed to appear at the battlefield.  Instead, the Church of Francis later began yet another grief: [[Tol Honeth]], a 2018 fortress founded by [[JavelinFury]] and [[clipchip]].  Tol Honeth was also griefed severely, as seen in this video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VA-iFUMqoE].
[[File:Tol Honeth Grief.PNG|400px]] [[File:COF Tol Honeth.png|400px]]
Shortly after the grief of Tol Honeth, the first major Francillian deaths of the war would occur.  After arriving at the main End island, xexc and TomixPlays were immediately bedbombed and killed by [[jake276493]].
That night, after suffering two griefs against them in a row, the PC decided to grief yet another Francillian base.  This time, they griefed Pitchport Base, a small COF recruitment center built by _letrasado and chipinazo, reducing it to a massive crater.

The Imperial War is a politically-motivated war fought between two groups: the People's Coalition (a loose collective of several teams) and the Church of Francis. The war began on December 10th, 2020, when the People's Coalition formally declared war on the Church of Francis; this was largely due to their perception of the Church of Francis as an aggressive imperialist threat on SimPvP.

While many have compared the Imperial War to The Holy Wilbur-Francis War, the two are vastly different; whereas the Holy War was a religious quarrel between the Church of Francis and The Order of Wilbur, the Imperial War is far more political in nature, with each member organization of the People's Coalition citing their own reasons for supporting war against the Church of Francis.

Participants

Below is a look at the participants of the Imperial War, breaking down the teams and members involved in fighting / griefing (NOTE: Only those actively involved in war affairs are included):

History

Pre-War Connotations

After the end of The Holy Wilbur-Francis War and several minor conflicts, the Church of Francis and The Order of Wilbur had entered a relative state of peace. Of course, the Church of Francis itself was not without any conflict: as the anti-Lord1 team The Republic rose to prominence in the summer of 2020, the Church of Francis found themselves constantly add odds with them, even resulting in a major series of griefs from the COF's own Two Words and Olgremont to the old Wilburian base Stonetown. The Francillian-Republican proxy war was largely in place due to the Republic's growing dissatisfaction with the Church of Francis' motivations, and their perception of Lord1 as a power-hungry tyrant.

By fall 2020, things had once again slowed down, but there were still growing tensions amid periods of peace. The Battle of Swampland was the first major battle between the Order of Wilbur and the Church of Francis since the Holy War, resulting in a Francillian victory. There were also a string of bases griefed and utterly decimated by the Church of Francis as part of a targeted attack known as "Operation Red Terror", where the bases of "sinners" were griefed. The Church of Francis had also been steadily growing, adding more members to its ranks, and even forming a "Red Empire" that would lay claim to numerous bases across the server. Meanwhile, many other groups on SimPvP were starting to grow weary of what they saw as aggressive recklessness.

In early December 2020, tensions soared to an all-time high. On December 4th, AntHand was ambushed and killed by several Francillians in /world; a few days later, on December 7th, Sellout9 and his alt were killed in /world by xexc and Lord1. Enraged by these unwarranted killings, another battle in /world occurred later that same day, with several soon-to-be People's Coalition members meeting a plethora of Francillians on the battlefield in response, forcing them to flee. These battles, coupled with the growing resentment towards the Church of Francis' imperialist endeavors and perceived unwarranted griefings, led numerous anti-Francillians to band together and plan an act of war.

The People's Coalition Declares War

On December 8th, several players opposed to the Church of Francis convened into a group soon to be known as the "People's Coalition", a loose collective of several pre-established teams on the server, all dedicated specifically to waging war against the Church of Francis. These groups included The Order of Wilbur, GS Trading Co., YeeterMyPeeter, Goldforge Citadel, the Order of the Wyvern, and later Shakatak. Originally, TheOnlySlash and Korijenkins had also been involved with the movement, although they were later kicked from the group after a quarrel with Sellout9. As the People's Coalition moved forward with their plans, it appeared that war was inevitable.

On December 10th, over fifteen People's Coalition members all met at Lakeside Lodge, a Church of Francis outpost created by Aebo a few months earlier. The base was severely and utterly griefed, and it was here that they decided to officially announce their war declaration: all PC members at Lakeside Lodge spammed the chat with their war declarations against the Church of Francis. War was officially on.

Immediately after griefing Lakeside Lodge, the People's Coalition moved to Gibraltar Castle, a massive spawn temple created by several new Francillian members. The temple was also severely griefed and destroyed, and any remaining items were looted.

After the grief, the PC forces remained stationed at Gibraltar Castle for over two hours, waiting for any potential Francillians to come by (although this never occurred). The only fight would arise when INQ_Nikox entered /world, where he was immediately attacked and killed by several PC fighters. Nonetheless, war had been declared, two Church of Francis bases had been griefed, and tensions had exploded.

The War Begins

In response to the PC's war declaration, and the grief of two of their bases, the Church of Francis was quick to react. On December 11th, numerous Francillian troops ascended on New Obestein, a spawn base created by ostrich1414, pippenger, and DiGGing4Gold in April 2020. New Oberstein was utterly and relentlessly griefed, as seen in this video here: [1]. This came at a time when several PC forces were in /world, awaiting the arrival of COF troops that never came.

A day later, on December 12th, the mood had changed. Hours earlier, both PC and COF members had been in talks of hosting a staged, organized battle in /world, specifically between the hours of 9:00-11:00 a.m. EST (2:00-4:00 p.m. GMT). The terms of battle were agreed; yet once the time came, the COF failed to appear at the battlefield. Instead, the Church of Francis later began yet another grief: Tol Honeth, a 2018 fortress founded by JavelinFury and clipchip. Tol Honeth was also griefed severely, as seen in this video: [2].

Shortly after the grief of Tol Honeth, the first major Francillian deaths of the war would occur. After arriving at the main End island, xexc and TomixPlays were immediately bedbombed and killed by jake276493.

That night, after suffering two griefs against them in a row, the PC decided to grief yet another Francillian base. This time, they griefed Pitchport Base, a small COF recruitment center built by _letrasado and chipinazo, reducing it to a massive crater.
