The August Conflict, also known as the Five Day War, was a war between Bonitana and the Almere Socialist Republic (A.S.R) over claims that Bonitana was housing terrorists within the city of Bukharam. Bonitana and their ally ChiselEnt disputed these claims, and on August 1st, the A.S.R invaded Bonitana.
The majority of the fighting took place on the militarized border between Arstotzka and Bonitana. Although A.S.R's advances into Bonitana were initially sucessful, Bonitana's quick mobilization led to the situation on the border becoming a stalemate. Bukharam was the site of intense fighting between the militia of the H.M.E group and A.S.R's counter-insurgency force.
On August 4th, Chisel Enterprises led a contracted invasion of A.S.R and invaded Villagerington, whilst Bonitana special forces paradropped into the Almere stadium. Seeing that both sides could not be trusted with winning, a ceasefire treaty was signed, splitting off Almere from A.S.R at the cost of Bonitana's western portion of Bukharam.
Although Almere and the rest of A.S.R re-joined, the occupation of Bukharam only further polarised Bonitanan politics, leading to the creation of BSF and the formation of the UCGB.
