The British Civil War, sometimes called the Second British Civil War, is an armed conflict fought between the Collaborationist British government and the forces of the Free Britain movement. The conflict can be considerconsidered a spill over of the [[German Civil War]] as that conflict both causes a great deal of instability in Britain and the fact that Germany would not initially intervene in the conflict has emboldenemboldened Free Britain. In truth however the Civil war is sparked by the unfinished business left over from the Uprising of 1956.

Ever since Britain's defeat after Operation Sea Lion in 1945, there had been a growing resistance to German and their collaborators. By 1956 the various anti-German groups had unified under the banner of Her Majesty's Most Loyal Resistance (HMMLR). The organization was lead by the dual leadership of Spanish Civil War veteran Bill Alexander and SAS founder David Stirling.

In the aftermath both Alexander and Stirling were caught and executed. However many members of HMMLR were able to escaped into either hiding or to Canada, helped by the fact that many in MI5's leadership were sympathetic to the cause.

Maxwell Knight, who was secretly leading HMMLR after 1956, was searching for an opportunity to spark a new more successful rebellion against the British.

Of course many British citizens already had a negative view onof the GermanGermans and their collaborators due to a perceived failure to successfully rebuild Britain after Operation Sea Lion.

HMMLR for its first move against the collaborationist government, decided to sow chaos in the government by getting rid of Prime Minister Barry Domvile. This was done by the very showy method of bombing the Prime Minister's office at 10 Downing Street, which killed Barry Domvile alongside some of his staff.
