Talk:The Sarimian War/@comment-5051341-20130822235702

No, this was a war.

"War is an organised and often prolonged armed conflict that is carried out by  states or  non-state actors. It is characterised by extreme  violence,  social disruption, and economic destruction.   War should be understood as an actual, intentional and widespread armed conflict between political communities, and therefore is defined as a form of  political violence or  intervention.   The set of techniques used by a group to carry out war is known as  warfare."

There was no "extreme violence" or "economic destruction", however there was "social disruption". There was intervention, in the form of armed conflict, in the occupation of Port Sarim.

There was a state and non-state actor, two factions, The Grand Duchy of Sarimia and the Kinshra Knights. However, there was little actual armed conflict, an which is why the Sarimian War was more a Propaganda War than an armed conflict.

It would also be considered a coup, but seeing as both the Kinshra Knights and the Grand Duchy were in a State of War, we've labelled it the Sarimian War.

However, as per Tom's suggestion, I'm going to also label it "The Septober Coup" in the initial description.
