The First Tarperti Civil War, also know as the Tarperti Revolution, was fought in the United Kingdoms of Tarper from 1912 to 1914. The result of a long-standing controversy over the power of the monarchy and the rights of the peasants, war broke out in April 1912, when Communists attempted a coup d'etat in the House of Lords, shortly after Prime Minister Charles Jarret Karl had deployed the Royal Guard to quell the dissenters. The monarchists proclaimed loyalty to the Tarperti King. They faced Communist revolutionaries of the Confederation of Tarperti Communist Republics, who advocated for destruction of the Tarperti monarchy.

The Confederation and Kingdom quickly raised volunteer and conscription armies that fought mostly in the northeast over two years. The Confederation finally won the war when General George Harris surrendered to General Yakov Menendez at the Battle of Saint Constantine followed by a series of surrenders by Monarchist generals throughout the country. Two years of intense combat left 314,000 soldiers dead. The Interwar Era (1912–1938) overlapped and followed the war, with the process of restoring national unity, strengthening the national government, and granting civil rights to all citizens throughout the country. The Civil War is the most studied and written about episode in Tarperti history.
