| - Since 1722, the Alorians have been a constant presence on the Indralan island, signing several protectorate agreements with the local rulers. In 1836, Indrala was brought under the direct rule of the Alorian monarch, and in 1912 the Dominion of Indrala was proclaimed, allowing limited self-government on the island. When the nationalist Alorian Liberation Movement deposed King Charles XIV and proclaimed the Republic of Aloria in 1926, the Indralan Viceroy remained loyal to the Alorian monarchy. The Alorian Civil War prevented the metropolitan government from trying to invade Indrala, which remained under de iure Battenburg rule. The short-lived Socialist Republic of Aloria proclaimed the independence of all of Aloria's colonies and dominions, and funded the communist Yingdala Gongchandang movement in the south of the country to topple the Dominion Government. The return of the monarchy in Aloria in 1933 allowed the Kingdom to send reinforcements to defeat the rebellion, but by this time the Gongchan movement had become very popular with the Indralans. Using guerilla tactics, the Communists managed to gain control of most of the island by 1937, and in 1938, the Gongchandang rebels gained control of the capital and imposed a Gongchan government. This effectively expelled the Alorians from Indrala and Indrala became fully independent. Due to the unpopularity of the war at home, Aloria recognized the independence of Indrala that same year.
