Taorian Revolutionary War

The Taorian Revolutionary War (1821–1828), also known as the War of Taorian Independence, was an armed conflict between the United Kingdom and their colony of Tandori, which had declared themselves independent from British rule. All fighting occured on and around the Taorian islands.

The war had its origins in the initial colonization of Tandori, since a majority of the early immigrants to the island were American loyalists to the crown during the American Revolutionary War and Irish prisoners. Due to this, the colony's population exploded from around 15,000 before British colonization in 1750 to 500,000 in 1800. A unique cultural and national identity also emerged during this period, with independence movements rapidly rising in popularity during the Napoleonic Wars. In November 1820 fighting broke out between rebel militia units and British regulars at Homai. The province of Pawarenga was quickly declared to be in a state of rebellion, and a temporary Congress was formed between the independence movements in 1821.
