The Gandhari Revolution (Arabic: ثورة غانذارا) was an armed conflict in the State of Gandhara, fought between forces loyal to Emir Mohamed al-Mansur and those seeking to abolish the constitutional monarchy and to establish an Arab republic. As a result of the Revolution, the Lettuce Governorate proclaimed the Lettucian independence as the First Lettucian Republic.
Causes
The discovery of significant oil reserves in the early '50s and the subsequent income from petroleum sales enabled the State of Gandhara to transition to a wealthy state. Although oil drastically improved the Gandhari government's finances, resentment began to build over the increased concentration of the nation's wealth in the hands of Emir Mohamed al-Mansur. Several movements promoted the view that the Gandhari monarchy was corrupt and that Gandhara would become a pro-Western puppet state. This discontent mounted with the rise of Arab nationalism/socialism throughout the country.
