Spanish Independence War

In recent months, Russian-Spanish relations have become increasingly strained, and independent observers have noticed a systematic removal of communists from Spanish positions of influence. In response, Russia has created a direct occupation zone in the east of the country, attempting to bring the recalcitrant Spanish government to heel. Now, this situation has come to a head, with the Spanish leader making an impassioned broadcast, declaring Spanish independence and rallying his countrymen to "rid the nation of Soviet influence once and for all". At the same time a major Spanish surprise attack on the occupation zone has begun.
