The '''West Coast Troubles''' ([[Amerikaens]]: ''Onrust aen de Westkust'', [[Corean]]: 웨서지폭동 lit. 'Westerzee riots') was a period of unrest and insurgency lasting from 1948 to 1954 in [[Westerzee]], [[Amerikaens Free State|the Free State]], and parts of northwestern [[Mexico]]. The era is defined by the ethnonationalist insurgencies of the [[Voor National Party]], the genesis of the [[Association of North American Nations]] (ANAN) as a major continental organisation, and the rise of [[Anti-Atlanticism]] - opposition to European influence in America.
The conflict ebbed to a close with the [[1953 Free State coup d'état]], when pro-ANAN forces removed the Voor-origin [[Goudpaert family]] from power and installed the [[De Clercq family|De Clercqs]]. By 1954, violence subsided with mutual attrition and the convening of the [[New Chilung Conference]], a peace conference attended by [[Tussenland]], [[New Netherland]], and the Voor National Party agitators.

==== Starting point ====
Scholarly consensus usually points to the Asiatic Migration Act in 1940 as the first trigger of the conflict. The legislation, supported by federal, provincial, and local authorities, increased the quota for [[Corea|Corean]] (and more generally Asian) immigration to [[Westerzee]], a province which already had an Asian plurality. It was strongly opposed by the Voor National Party (VNP), which viewed increased Asian-Tussenlander domination of the region as a threat to their cultural and national interests.
In 1941, a VNP Congress decided to embark on a more violent approach to reach their goals. Soon after, Voor commandos and mutineers attacked a garrison in southern Westerzee, seizing weapons and armoured vehicles. This came to be known as the [[1941 Waterloo incident]] and is said to be the origin of the wider conflict.
