==== Rise of separatist sentiment ====
Over time, Alyeskans developed a distinct identity, influenced by a blend of traditional Russian, indigenous, and American cultures. The shared experience of feeling neglected and exploited by the Russian government helped unite disparate communities across the region.
==== Novo-Arkhangelsk coup (March 1978) ====
In early 1978, members of the Alyeskan National Militia led a coup in Novo-Arkhangelsk, declaring the nation's independence. Upon receiving news of the uprising, Sergey Gromov, the Chairman of the Russian National Republic, sought a diplomatic resolution and promptly dispatched a delegation to negotiate with the insurrectionists. However, these efforts were rebuffed when the coup's leader, Nikolaj Tryndin, held clandestine discussions with representatives from the ANAN, further straining relations.
Gromov's diplomatic approach turned to military action following the failed negotiations and the revelation of ANAN's involvement. He commanded the Russian military contingents stationed in Alyeska to retake the government buildings seized by the rebels. Despite the swift crackdown on the initial uprising, the militia transitioned into a guerrilla warfare campaign, continuing their fight for independence in the weeks that ensued.
==== Alyeska's entry into ANAN (April 1979) ====
In March 1978, ANAN publicly entered negotiations with Nikolaj Tryndin to facilitate Alyeska's accession to their bloc. This move was met with stern criticism from Sergey Gromov, who stated "a responsible member of the international community would recognize the folly of intruding into the sovereign affairs of others."
Despite Gromov's rebuke, ANAN countered that Alyeska met the criteria for membership and, as a North American entity, had the right to join the alliance. On March 18, 1978, ANAN officially welcomed Alyeska as its eleventh member, asserting that Russia had no jurisdiction over American soil and over ANAN affairs. This declaration further escalated tensions between ANAN and the Russian National Republic.
== Course of the War ==
==== Escalation and initial ANAN Advancement (May 1978) ====
In a strategic maneuver that caught Russia off guard, ANAN forces commenced an incursion into Alyeska from [[Tussenland]] in the southwest. The operation quickly overwhelmed Russian defenses due to their unpreparedness, and ANAN troops successfully eventually joined forces with the Alyeskan National Militia. ANAN forces utilized the expertise of indigenous American scouts, allowing them to swiftly gain control of key territories, including the capital city, Novo-Arkhangelsk.
By the end of the first month of hostilities, ANAN forces had secured the entire southwestern region of Alyeska. The only area that remained under Russian control in the southwest was the heavily-fortified Shishkov Island.
