After the events of the Second Great African War, the young states of West Africa were quickly ripped away from any kind of foreign aid in return for being pulled into a struggle for continental sovereignty. Despite their military victories, these young countries were thrown into instability as famines tore them apart. While the Famines did initially hit Saharia the hardest, Bornuvia was the first to break as the Bornuvian Revolutionary Movement rose up as their government stagnated and all that came from ridding itself from Yetian rule was subordinating itself to Hongerswak and Sarpistan instead, announcing the beginning of Revolutionism in the country.
The south of Bornuvia was quickly overrun by the revolutionaries, soon being followed by more uprisings across the country as calls to overthrow Hongerswak and Sarpistan spread, angering both of them. Sarpistan was soon dragged into the conflict as its client-state in the 'Socialist Republic of Jeriya' suffered from a massive revolt by the hands of the 'Jeriyan Islamic Front'. Saharia was the next, as the 'Revolutionary Movement in Saharia' rose up. Angered by these developments and fearing that if they were to win they could pose a major threat, Hongerswak and the rest of the African Union intervened in the war. Ortilia disagreed with aligning itself with the revolutionaries, heeding their calls for democracy as it declared war on the African Union. The entirety of the northwest of the continent was quickly swarming with revolutionaries as Hongerswak and Sarpistan desparately tried pushing in from the east and centre, being too far away to stop the likes of the 'Revolutionary Movement for Malakia' forming. Saharia soon surrendered as it could no longer stand the pressure, leading to the formation of the Saharian Revolutionary Republic around the same time that the Second Islamic Republic of Jeriya was declared and the Eterian Revolutionary Front rose up as the movement's first member in eastern Africa. Revolutionists attempted a coup in Jeriya, leading to them withdrawing support for the Revolutionary cause and forming their own Islamist cause as the Revolutionary Front of Jeriya broke off and aligned with the Revolutionaries. The BRM began proselytizing the revolution among the unliberated peoples of Africa as their forces marched deeper and deeper into western Africa and Jeriya. The revolutionaries became displeased with Ortilia's theoretical lack of commitment to their cause due to retaining their political model they had under African Union oversight, leading to them suddenly being invaded by Revolutionary forces thru the Sahara, forcing them to align with the African Union to try to fight back. Ortilia and the Sarpistani forces in Jeriya were quickly overwhelmed by a mass Revolutionary offensive which lead to the surrender of Malakia and Ortilia.
With fully established Revolutionist governments in place in Ortilia, Saharia, and Malakia, the three unified and proclaimed the 'Revolutionary Union of Africa' as the first ever Pan-African government intending to liberate the entire continent. Emboldened by the formation of the RUA, the Eterian Revolutionary Front launched a sudden offensive which lead to the capture of the Eterian capital of Dodoma, leading to the nation initially being willing to surrender until Hongerswak 'encouraged' them into simply retreating as the Hongerswakan military moved in to crush the revolt which quickly enveloped a majority of Eteria as their government collapsed in on itself as the 'Revolutionary Republic of Eteria' was formed. While Revolutionary Eteria was quickly invaded and overwhelmed by enemy forces, Libatria and Bornuvia were teetering on the edge of total collapse as the Revolutionaries continued their advance as central africa was ravaged by constant bombing. Once Libatria fell, the Revolutionary Republic of Libatria was established in its territories, soon being followed by the Bornuvian Revolutionary Movement declaring its own Revolutionary Republic.
Quickly being filled with desperation, Hongerswak and Sarpistan unleashed nuclear weapons which destroyed the city of Algiers. Despite the Revolutionaries continuing to claim that they would resist, the African Union prepared a significant tank force and launched a counter-offensive into Bornuvia which lead to the country being successfully re-taken. As the Revolutionaries only provided unfair peace offers, Equatoria kept up the advantage and launched a naval invasion which lead to the occupation of Libatria. Yetia saw the weakening of the Revolutionaries as an opportunity to reclaim Ortilia, leading to it launching a naval invasion which while initially successful eventually concluded in a defeat which forced them to withdraw from the conflict. The Revolutionaries attempted to negotiate peace in return for being given control over Bornuvia, which Hongerswak rejected as it would be giving up land in such a deal. After some negotiating, Hongerswak decided it was willing to concede somewhat if it only had to concede the less populous northern half of Bornuvia, which the revolutionaries begrudgingly accepted.
