Russian War of Independence (Canadian Independence)

The Russian War of Independence was a revolution against Germany by the Russian Independence Movement, and resistance groups in Poland and Ukraine. The war included several battles, assassinations, bombings, and riots. The Russians also employed terrorism, such as the 1976 Olympics Massacre. After five years of fighting the German government relented, and Russia, Poland, and Ukraine secured its independence.

Causes
The war in the Middle East had costed Germany millions of dollars, and many men were killed. In order to make up for these losses, Germany had began heavily taxing its Russian regions. However, these regions were poorer than the rest of the Empire, and was still in crumbles from the Second Great War. Many people could not pay the taxes, which resulted in their homes being repossed. Many ended up living in overcrowded apartments in slums in Moscow or Murmansk. Angry at these losses, protests began in Moscow, led by Mikhail Gorbachev, a former governor of the Western Region. German police attempted to keep the protests in check, but many officers defected to the side of the protestors. The army was sent and killed many of the protestors in the Red Square Massacre. This inspired many Russians to rise uip in revolution, and took over a German base in southern Moscow. The Russian Independence Movement was created, and the war had begun.
