Second Portuzian Uprise

The Conflict

Outcome

The Portuzian freedom fighters were disbanded as an organisation and their defeat was so devastating no one dared to question West Ilandian authority anymore.

Aftermath

The uprise did lead to more rights for the Portuzians, such as the right to create their own museums. The uprise is commonly seen as the start of West Ilandian extensive minority rights.
The uprise also led to less political apathy in the region.

Historical Significance

Legacy

Portuzian-nationalist parties such as the PNNA still use the uprise in their speeches and use it to advocate for Portuzian autonomy.
