First Civil War (1994-1997)
Prime Minister Saakashvili's economic reforms, especially the creation of the eura, led to significant economic problems in early 1994 due to a rough transition. With employment down, inflation rampant, and the stock market fluctuating wildly, faith in the free market began to falter, leading to considerable socialist movements in the north. Violent revolution flourished in Northolt, Cambridge, and Oxford, with a mysterious man known only as Grueber seizing control of the movement, formally referred to as the People's Red Revolution, or PRR. After marshalling fifty thousand Eurasians to march on the capital, Prime Minister Abdulaziz al-Filastini pleaded for international aid. Among the first two states to reply were Atopiana and Skgorria, who deployed Brobdingnagian amounts of soldiers and equipment. The PRR was successful in bombing the Houses of Parliament, nearly wiping out the centre of government, forcing King James III to flee to neutral Nova Britannica. After days of brutal fighting which ravaged the countryside, the PRR was finally crushed. The government was reinstalled; notwithstanding that, Kensington laid in shambles - the interim government set up its headquarters in Westminster. Atopiana and Skgorria proved to have their own interests at heart, however, when they created the Social Republic of Londin in Ganapati, which comprised Waltham Forest, Stirling, Worchester, and Hillingdon. Eurasia lacked the capacity to repel this development, and permitted it to pass. al-Filastini began a policy of reconstruction - however, his Deputy Prime Minister, Daniel Yañez, schemed to depose of al-Filastini, placing him under house arrest in Kensington Palace. Yañez began a series of cruel, tyrannical acts - harking back to the worst authoritarian regimes of the twentieth century. A Royal Navy submarine unit, comprising twelve SSNs and twelve SSBNs, initiated the first assualt against Yañez, levelling Westminster. In the ensuing chaos, Atopiana and Skgorria reinvaded Eurasia, killing off Yañez and the new regime, and installed Robert Trantor as President, in tandem with a constitutional reform that was forced through the House of Commons and the House of Lords. The New Party acted even more ghastly than the Yañez regime, with genocide against Chinese individuals raging across the nation. There was widespread hatred of the Party, which resulted in major insurgent activity, including an assassination of Trantor and the torture of Yañez. After a year of such resistance, Atopiana and Skgorria decided to pull out, especially in light of international condemnation of the invasion.
Reconstruction Period (1997-2000)
The actions of Skgorria and Atopiana showed the Eurasian government the many problems with security and defence policy within the nation. al-Filastini realised that Eurasia lacked any type of powerful allies on the international scene. Quickly, Parliament enacted legislation which had Eurasia join the Corporate Alliance, the Grand Imperial Alliance, and the Union of Democratic Nations. al-Filastini also was forced to re-enact Labour-style reforms as to provide for the millions displaced and affected by the civil war. By late 1999, life in Eurasia resumed normality.

New Era (2007-2009)
Second Civil War (2009 - )
In early 2009, Ivan Yakovlev and his organisation, the People's Revolutionary Army (PRA), executed a terrorist attack in the Black Gold Sea, bombing an oil rig and a rig supply vessel, in response to the completion of Sir Phillip Sinclair's libertarian reforms. Whilst Eurasian resources were focused on solving the infamous bombings, the PRA engaged in a massive uprising within Waltham Forest, located within the province of Viridis Foresti, lynching the provincial governor and murdering resistors. Other PRA cells within the province also erupted in violence, eventually seizing control of the whole of Viridis Foresti. The Eurasian government found it difficult to handle this situation at first, since the prime minister found the concept of Eurasians killing Eurasians to be abhorrent. However, international intervention in the conflict prompted a full-fledged military campaign in the area.
