In the years following the (first) English Civil War, the BTNT government that had come to power in England introduced "proscriptions" that saw wealthy and right-wing people's personal information publicized on lists in order to essentially legalize their murder, leading to a mass exodus of targeted individuals to Scotland and Wales where they formed the "Royal Brigade in Exile" with aspirations of overthrowing England's government, leading to heightened diplomatic tensions while in England itself a underground group known as "The English Right" was formed. Years later, terrorist attacks by the RBE and TER were launched thru wales into the western midlands, prompting major government crackdowns and mass-arrests which freaked out the 'Coalition of Anti-Marxists' consisting of the RBE, TER, and Scotland enough to realise that intervention was the only way to prevent the destruction of their movements, prompting the former two to declare open rebellion while the latter declared war.
Anti-Marxist forces rushed through Northumberland and Yorkshire past English defences while the TER spread across the West Midlands and launched various other regional revolts such as in Cornwall, Oxford, and the Falklands (with the BTNT only really holding onto Stanley). English forces began falling back as a general mobilization was issued. Anti-Marxist forces moved on London and prepared to besiege the city as it was still quite highly defended. After some fighting, the TER managed to capture London and execute the BTNT government, officially proclaiming the dissolution of the People's Republic of England and the formation of the 'English Interim State' as a temporary compromise due to intense disagreements between the TER (who favoured a 'national republic') and the RBE (which favoured a monarchy). With the conservative forces pausing their advances to stabilize the territories they held, the People's Republic split in half as moderate elements of the formerly ruling English Socialist Party staged a revolt against the BTNT, blaming them for the crisis as socialist divisions turned one another, with the ESP securing Norfolk and the northwest while the BTNT held the south, with the ESP's pacification of the greater Manchester and Gloucester area leading to many BTNT forces surrendering to the TER in order to avoid punishments from the ESP. With the BTNT weakened and in the middle of a schism, the Cornish Regional Assembly rose up and occupied Cornwall due to believing that no other government was capable of governing them.
ESP forces in Norfolk were disarmed by the TER as it gradually moved to secure remaining pockets of resistance. Conservative forces launched an offensive into the southwest while TER militias operating in Cornwall and Dorset advanced east, leading to most organized BTNT resistance dispersing as pockets remained in Bristol, the Isle of Wight, and Brighton, though the latter two fell without that much of a fight while the fight for Bristol was a long siege as the BTNT held on for a while until its southern flank collapsed due to defections, leading to the defences in the city slowly crumbling. Seeing no way to actually win the war, the EESP decided that forming an independent northern English state was the only way to maintain socialism in at least some territory, attacking eastward to occupy Yorkshire for their newly proclaimed 'Northumbrian Republic'. Northumbria succeeded in its push to the northsea which allowed it to swing north into Scotland where it captured Edinburgh, forcing Scotland to make peace with Northumbria by recognizing its independence, which the royalists were also pressured to do. This move outraged the TER as its attempts to block the peace were outvoted by the RBE, leading to the English Interim State splitting in two as forces loyal to The English Right overthrew the government and proclaimed the 'National Republic of England', forcing the royalists to flee to the southwest where they proclaimed the 'Kingdom of England', with the two new governments promptly waging war against one another. Once the National Republic managed to crush the Royalist and Cornish insurgencies, it attacked north with relentless force as the peace with Northumbria was voided. Nationalist forces managed to sweep north to Scotland's border and destroy significant numbers of Northumbrian forces in the west, leaving their remaining forces in Yorkshire demoralized and weakened, eventually forcing their remnants to surrender after another nationalist offensive that allowed The English Right to unify England under an authoritarian right-wing regime led by self-proclaimed fascist-populist Raymond Pearce.
