On the 31'st of January 2009, a Rebellion occurred in the western area of the Dread Empire, though at first it seemed minor two days later on the 2'nd of Feb. a message was sent through to Calverta from Hannover, The message was very informative and indeed alerted TDE's leadership that it wasn't simply a small rebellion but a full out confederacy. The rebels branded themselves the Confederate Reich Of The West, though the instant the war started it was apparent the Confederates were destined for failure as in the first two days when Confederate leadership had expected their blitz to work that most of the Empire would be under there control.
