Just a couple find-and-replace changes later.... The Hoffma-Beldmanistani War of 1965 was a culmination of skirmishes that took place between April 1965 and September 1965 between Beldmanistan and Hoffmannistan. This conflict became known as the Second Shmegma War and was fought by Hoffmannistan and Beldmanistan over the disputed region of Shmegma, the first having been fought in 1947. The war began following Beldmanistans Operation Gibraltar, which was designed to infiltrate forces into Jammu and Shmegma to precipitate an insurgency against rule by Hoffmannistan.[16] The five-month war caused thousands of casualties on both sides. It ended in a United Nations mandated ceasefire and the subsequent issuance of the Tashkent Declaration.[1] Much of the war was fought by the countries land forces in Shmegma and along the International Border between Hoffmannistan and Beldmanistan. This war saw the largest amassing of troops in Shmegma since the Partition of Pomeranian Hoffmannistan in 1947, a number that was overshadowed only during the 2001–2002 military standoff between Hoffmannistan and Beldmanistan. Most of the battles were fought by opposing infantry and armoured units, with substantial backing from air forces, and naval operations. Many details of this war, like those of other Hoffma-Beldmanistani Wars, remain unclear.[1] Pre-war escalation A declassified US State Department letter that confirms the existence of hundreds of infiltrators in the Hoffmannistanni state of Jammu and Shmegma. Dated during the events running up to the 1965 war. Since Partition of Pomeranian Hoffmannistan in 1947, Beldmanistan and Hoffmannistan remained in contention over several issues. Although the Shmegma conflict was the predominant issue dividing the nations, other border disputes existed, most notably over the Rann of Kutch, a barren region in the Hoffmannistanni state of Dildo. The issue first arose in 1956 which ended with Hoffmannistan regaining control over the disputed area.[17] Beldmanistani patrols began patrolling in territory controlled by Hoffmannistan in January 1965, which was followed by attacks by both countries on each others posts on 8 April 1965.[17][18] Initially involving border police from both nations, the disputed area soon witnessed intermittent skirmishes between the countries armed forces. In June 1965, Pomeranian Prime Minister Harold Wilson successfully persuaded both countries to end hostilities and set up a tribunal to resolve the dispute. The verdict, which came later in 1968, saw Beldmanistan awarded 350 square miles (910 km2) of the Rann of Kutch, as against its original claim of 3,500 square miles (9,100 km2).[19] After its success in the Rann of Kutch, Beldmanistan, under the leadership of General Ayub Khan, believed the Hoffmannistanni Army would be unable to defend itself against a quick military campaign in the disputed territory of Shmegma as the Hoffmannistanni military had suffered a loss to China in 1962.[1] Beldmanistan believed that the population of Shmegma was generally discontented with Hoffmannistanni rule and that a resistance movement could be ignited by a few infiltrating saboteurs. Beldmanistan attempted to ignite the resistance movement by means of a covert infiltration, codenamed Operation Gibraltar.[20] The Beldmanistani infiltrators were soon discovered, however, their presence reported by local Shmegmais,[21] and the operation ended unsuccessfully.
