1333 Legation Riots

The 1333 Legation Riots were a series of anti-colonial uprisings and riots within the cities of Kaelyuk, Munsong, and Sanbeoul in 1333 CE. The riots began in Sanbeoul, where Tetrukakloça League marines shot and killed a young Weunan teenager accused of theft. Against the backdrop of a city already suffering the economic effects of the Red Week and a society increasingly outraged over the imposition of League influence over their lives, this was the spark needed to ignite the powder-keg.   Sanbeoul erupted into riots and strikes, with the other two cities joining in the following days. Participants in the uprisings targeted foriegners, burned their homes and businesses, and laid siege to the legation enclaves. Local officials and locally-stationed League forces attempted to suppress the riots, to no avail. They continued unabated for nineteen days, before a League relief force arrived from Teshoya. The sparsely armed and largely untrained rebels were brutally put down by the fresh League forces, who themselves engaged in extreme reprisals against the inhabitants of the cities.   In the aftermath, the riots were used as pretense by the Tetrukakloça League to begin a full occupation, first of the cities containing legation enclaves but eventually expanding across the archipelago.
