Yowien Revolution

The Yowien Revolution, also known as the Great Rebellion in Yow, is the collective name for multiple conflicts in the Yowien Sea aiming for the independence of the sea from the colonial powers that maintained control over it for over thirty years through the Partition of Yow. It began shortly after the death of Emperor Pengvintine aboard the Death Cube.

Name
After Feey3 and others started openly rebelling against the colonial powers controlling the Yowien Sea, the event was known as the Yowien Revolt by non-Yowiens. Once it progressed further, seemingly having a chance of succeeding and Feey proclaiming the Second Yowien Empire, the name was changed to Yowien Rebellion, and once peace was restored it became known as the Yowien Revolution. In Yow however, the event is known as the Yowien Rebellion or the Great Rebellion.

Yow and the Great War
Throughout the late 2000s and early 2010s, King Alexander and King Feey1 made many enemies in Antarctica, including Polaris, Snowzerland, Castilla and countries in the Free Republic Union. Feey had Yow develop nuclear missiles in 2013, against the wishes of the UAN and turning his friends in the Ninja Archipelago against them, and caused the Great Yowien War due to his jealousy of Shops Island entering the international spotlight.

Shops Island, the Culldrome Isles and nations of the Ninja Archipelago Union formed "The Allies", and invaded Yow in May 2013. By making nuclear weapons, Yow had turned their remaining friends against them, leaving the Yowien Sea and its ally of Glaw to be taken over. Most of the large nations related to Yow had a say in the peace talks, except for Yow themselves, and it was decided that the entire Yowien Sea would be partitioned by the invaders. Not even the USA had a problem with this, as Yow had failed to pay back their loans to the USA, and they were given the former Yowien territories of Hontana and Space Colony 1. Had the Great Yowien War not happened, it is likely that Yow would have been invaded and annexed by Polaris and the USA only a few months later.

The Yow Kingdom, June Islands, Barbearer Islands and Glaw were all annexed by colonial powers, mostly in part due to the choices of Alexander and Feey1 as Kings.

Partition of Yow
The treaty was known as the Partition of Yow because it disbanded Yow, the June Islands, Barbearer Islands and Glaw, and partitioned their territory between the Culldrome Isles, Castilla, Frankterre, Polaris, Puffle'and, Shops Island, Snowzerland and the USA. These powers quickly purged Yowien culture and supplemented it with their own in their territories, except Hontana, and strictly ruled their territories for years after to watch and handle potential unrest. Some unrest and nationalism existed throughout the Yowien Sea for decades after, causing many uprisings and revolts, though most were stopped quickly.

Frankterre released Glaw after getting the results of a referendum that was forced by Ed Island and supported by the Axle Powers. After the independence of Glaw, citizens across Yow Island, the June Islands and the Barbearer Islands erupted into protests demanding their own independence referendums. On Yow Island, most of the protesters were in Culldrome Yow and Northern Shops. The United Provinces also verbally supported Yowien independence. However, none of the movements went anywhere and the protesters were eventually dispersed and rebels were suppressed by force. These events also disheartened Feey1 even further, causing him to abandon his claims from recent years that a Yowien government-in-exile still existed on Maverick, a claim that no country in Antarctica recognized as Yow had made so many enemies.

Further large-scale protests and revolts didn't take place for another ten years. Due to political instability during the Scramble for Power and the recent fall of Shops Island and border changes on Yow Island, nationalism began to rise again in the Yowien Sea. With the colonial nations' focusing on the scramble for new territories, it was difficult to dispatch armies to the Yowien Sea to deal with rebellion. Supporters of independence and de-colonization took arms in many cases, and could be found fighting those that had immigrated to the sea from their home countries since the Great Yowien War. The Barbearer Islands were the first to be suppressed as an army had been sent by Frankterre to annex Bar Crab City, and rebellions in the June Islands and Yow were later crushed once the scramble had begun to slow down. Yow might have been able to gain independence if they had a single leader unifying them, but Feey1 was nowhere to be found, he had given up years ago and become a recluse in Maverick. Although the Western Union, and more specifically the United Provinces, pushed the UAN for an independent Yow since Shops was no more, the Partition of Yow members and international community as a whole ignored them and accepted Frankterre as Shops' replacement on the island.

Feelings of nationalism and a desire for de-colonization stayed in Yowien's minds for many years after that, sparking occasional revolts, but none as big as in 2027.

Feey3's Plans
Some time after the Scramble for Power, Emperor Pengvintine took Feey3 as his Sith apprentice. Over many years, Feey3 completed numerous missions and proved himself as a loyal apprentice by eliminating targets, quelling rebellions, helping to train the Syth, or anything else that the RDA or Snoss Bounty Hunters couldn't do. After Pengvintine took over the Dojo, he sent Feey3 to Snoss Yow to keep the prison camps stable from the influx of new inmates. Feey3 would stay there and make Snoss Yow his new home, continuing to return there after completing tasks for Pengvintine. Though the landscape of Snoss Yow was grim, it continued to fuel his anger and remind him what once was.

During his time in Snoss Yow, Feey3 an idea for what he must do. In his mind, he's the true heir to the Yowien throne, and he was the only one that could save Yow from the monsters that destroyed it, and return his nation to glory. He began by exerting his influence on all of the military personnel on Snoss Yow as well as the prisoners, securing all of their loyalty either through promises, threats, or by force. He also began tracking and watching over Yowien rebels and nationalists throughout the Yowien Sea.

Death of Pengvintine
When Feey3 felt a disturbance in the force, and shortly after saw the Death Cube explode, he knew that Pengvintine had finally died. It was a day he had waited and hoped for years to come, and he immediately began putting his own plans into motion since their biggest threat was out of the way.
