The South Atlantic War was the largest conflict in Antarctica since World War II. The War was fought on two fronts - the New Swabian War in the East, and the Warrahar War in the West.
Factions[]
Los Hermanos[]
"Los Hermanos", or "Die Bruderen", was the unofficial name for the alliance between Argentina and New Swabia, which were both governed by Dictatorships at the time: New Swabia by a Fascist one-party system; and Argentina by a Military Junta. Argentina fought primarily in the Warrahar War, but did provide some support to the New Swabian War as well.
SSTF, AFNM and allies[]
The AFNM, Armed Forces of Norway and Maudland, represented the entire Norwegian-Maudlandic presence on Antarctica. It also had support from the New Swabia Liberation Party, an illegal militant anti-Fascist party; as well as Britain and the Commonwealth of Nations. Santiago was another ally of the ANFM, but due to historic alliances with both New Swabia and Argentina, the Santiagan support was occasionally limited. The AFNM fought mostly in the New Swabian War although some AFNM naval vessels fought alongside the Royal Navy.
The Scotia Sea Task Force, organized in 1982, was the joint-command between British and Ognian military forces in the Scotia Sea islands. The islands had been recently transferred from Britain to Ognia, and many of the locals still held British citizenship, so the British Military maintained a defensive presence in the area, to support the small Ognian forces. The SSTF received some support from Chile, but most of this was non-combat support.
