Soviet-Kozan conflict

The Soviet-Kozan conflict (ソ連・鉱山国戦争) was a conflict where insurgent groups in Kozan fought against the Soviet Army throughout the late 1970s and nearly throughout the 1980s. The conflict led to the creation of the communist militant group the Shintoist Province and Scarlet Devil of Team Crimson, which was backed by the Soviet Union and Cuba. The war led to a radical modernization of Kozan itself and was the first of two conflicts involving SPASDOT, the other being the ongoing Kozanese Civil War. Under the order of Frederic Sam Fawkes, the Soviet Army was deployed on May 31, 1975 starting with a series of bombings in Eastern Kozan. In April 1982, King Kenjirou was assassinated by a Soviet spy, initiating the Kozanese Revolution, which the Soviet Union lost in 1984. As a result, the Soviets began withdrawing their forces after an agreement with the Kozanese government. The Soviets' failure in the conflict was thought to be a contributing factor to the eventual collapse of the Soviet Union.
