Great Rebellion of Tartarystan
The Great Rebellion of Tartarystan was one of the largest and bloodiest revolutions in recent history. It was notorious for depopulating the entire country of Tartarystan of more than nine-tenths of it's population and for the intense ethnic cleansing that every side practiced.

Prelude to Rebellion
Hundreds of members from the People's War Group mounted a failed assassination of the Emperor after the National Assembly passed laws even more virulently racist than the ones already in place. Every single member in the assassination attempt was either killed, or captured and extra-judicially executed by the Imperial Guard, much to the chagrin of human rights organizations. 273 members of the People's War Group perished along with 17 deaths for the Imperial Guard and 40 members injured.
In an emergency session, the National Assembly voted 834 - 74 - 92 to order the military to reform launch "reprisal" strikes against several cities the People's War Group drew their membership and support from. This bill was surprisingly vetoed by the Emperor, but the veto was overridden given the overwhelming consensus. Tartarystan drew condemnation from human rights organizations when the Imperial Tartar Army (ITA) attacked the cities of Mohenjo, Daro, Hoysola, Maurya, Madho, and Bahadur with chemical weapons. These six cities were fairly similar in most ways. They were all mostly Indo-Aryan speaking, had no Altaic citizens, and were mostly ghettoes. According to local sources, the Imperial Tartar Army assaulted these cities with VX gas, mustard gas, hydrogen cyanide, sarin, soman, among with many other chemical weapons. ITA forces immediately followed it up with artillery strikes, as well as napalm launches that burned all six cities. Most survivors were shot trying to escape though a few escaped after hiding in the wreckage and were lucky enough not to get torched. Urban planners have moved to the burnt ashes of these cities are rebuilding "new" cities for the burgeoning Altaic population as Tartarystan followed a strict system of urban planning.
Absolutely disgusted by blatant expansionism, ethnic cleansing, and Imperial violations of human rights, various underground revolutionary movements, Indo-Aryan, Sino-Tibetan, Japanese, Korean, and Dravidian all came together in the United Revolutionary Alliance, a five-way alliance against Imperial authority. The URA immediately launched huge revolutions in the countryside.
