The Texan War is a military conflict between the Confederacy of Texas and the various anarchic communities neighboring the Confederacy. It began on July 21, 2011 a day after the Confederacy was formed. The main reason the conflict began was when several anarchic communities refused to accept sovereignty and rule by the Confederacy. The Confederacy began to feel threatened and was prepared to declare war. However, it first consulted with the United States of JBR, a constituent country of the larger Californian Union for military and diplomatic assistance at the Sunshine Treaty Organization Pact Headquarters. The JBRican States was one of the Confederacy's role models for the creation of the state and the JBRican States was already involved with a similar conflict in the Utah-Hearse War. The JBRican government accepted the request for assistance and agreed to deploy some of its soldiers to Texas. It also promised to send several ambassadors to help negotiate peace talks between the Confederacy and anarchists.

Background

After the dissolution of the United States of America, Texas fell under anarchy. While there were many attempts to found a new country, it was not until former U.S. general James McCulloch gained power over several Texan counties including the city of Houston in the summer of 2011. It was the first successful attempt for Texan sovereignty in six years and the Confederacy of Texas was formally founded on July 20, 2011. However, the declaration of the new sovereign state's existence sparked resistance and disagreement from other areas, especially the Confederacy's neighbors. Many did not want to return to being ruled by a government, much less an authoritarian one as the Confederacy slightly leaned towards authoritarian principles. In reaction to the new Confederacy, some anarchic communities attacked some areas.
In fear of becoming overthrown, especially in its early days, the Confederacy was prepared to engage war with the disagreeing communities. Much of this decision to do so was from the Confederacy's people. Before it declared war, McCulloch requested military and diplomatic assistance from the United States of JBR. He contacted the office of the United States of JBR at the Sunshine Treaty Organization Pact.

“ To y'all in the United States of JBR, I want to ask you a favor. Hate to get you into nuther war but the anarchic communities around us have refused to recognize the sovereignty of the Confederacy of Texas. We're preparing to declare war on the anarchic communities around us, but don't know how some of the other anarchic communities will react to it. Many Texans are wanting me to bring peace to the rest of Texas, and are asking for this war so we will go through with this. However, the true strength of the anarchic communities remain unknown. While I reckon that taking all of Texas is near impossible, I still want some help in bringing peace to some more Texans. Will you help us? ” — James McCulloch, Request to the Vuong Administration

President Justin Vuong accepted the request and also accepted the Confederacy's sovereignty over its controlled area. He also said that he would consult with other neighbors including the Louisiana Federation, the Federal Republic of Mexico, and the Deltoran Republic (who later joined the war), to help protect the Confederacy. Vuong sent 50,000 soldiers to the Confederacy—much as he did when the Republic of Utah similarly asked for protection a week earlier. He later argued for the Confederacy's protection with his allies including Central Kingdom and the Union of Midway. On July 22, the Confederacy gained its mercenaries from JBRica and Vuong granted McCulloch the power to lead the JBRican troops.

Overview

Begining

Upon the declaration of war being announced the anarchic communities immediately began attacking the Confederacy of Texas, but the Confederacy fought back fiercely, eventually driving the anarchists to a stalemate. Soon afterwards, JBRican troops arrived. Anarchists immediately began retreating, seeing that they stood close to no chance of winning in a full-scale invasion and decided to fight a defensive war. Many Texan troops chased the retreating anarchic forces, gaining the towns of Kirbyville, Livingston, West Livingston, New Waverly, Heampstead, Sealy, and West Colombia.

San Antonio Expedition

James McCulloch then ordered Texan forces to advance west until they reach San Antonio, leading the forces going to San Antonio himself. The anarchic communities, having a hard time keeping the Texans back, again pulled back forces. On July 25, Texan forces captured the city of San Antonio, and the San Antonio expedition was declared a success. Almost immediately afterwards, the Confederacy of Texas annexed the captured territory. Shortly after this, the Federal Republic of Mexico and Belize joined the war on the side of the Confederacy. To counter this, the anarchists gained assistance by the Oklahoman anarchists and the Hearse Express, an active anarchic terrorist group that was also fighting the Utah-Hearse War at the time. After this, McCulloch was threatened by Gary Jones, one of the primary anarchist commanders, at the STOP Headquarters. Jones demanded that the Confederacy dissolve but McCulloch later refused. Later on, the Democratic People's Republic of California, Central Kingdom, Kern, Gauntletia, Peru, and Chile joined the war.
