The '''Frieden''' movement was a violent movement based on a [[Fascism|fascist]] ideology that arose in the [[Europa|Europan]] city of [[Katreus]]<ref>'''Halo Mythos''', ''page 47''</ref> in the mid-22nd century. It formed partially in response to the rise of the [[Communism|communist]] [[Koslovics]] and perceived oppression by the [[United Nations]]. "''Frieden''" means "peace" in [[German]] — in this case, the Frieden believed that peace could only be achieved once the "oppressors on [[Earth|Terra Firma]]" were eliminated.<ref name="timeline">[http://halostory.bungie.org/halostory.timeline.html '''Halo Story Page''': ''Timeline'']</ref>

The Frieden movement was birthed largely due to anti-[[Koslovic]] sentiment in the [[Jovian Moons]]. It was supported by [[Unified German Republic]] corporations, who had been frequent targets of Koslovic "workers' crusades". The movement did not begin with violence, but following its inception it quickly escalated to it. In [[2158]], the Friedens targeted an embassy in [[Thynia]], a city on [[Europa]], leveling the structure with military=grade explosives. This led the [[United Nations]] to declare the Friedens [[Terrorism|terrorists]], as it had previously done with the Koslovics. At this, the UN also dispatched [[United Nations Colonial Advisors|colonial advisors]] to [[Io]] to help organize policing efforts in the area. In the years that followed this first violent attack, the group rapidly accrued support and resources as Frieden ideology and influence spread quickly across the [[Jovian Moons]], [[Mars]], and [[Luna]]. During this period, acts of terrorism continued.

By [[2160]], the conflicting beliefs of the Friedens and Koslovics had sparked a full-scale war between the two factions. The battles waged between the two factions were dubbed the [[Jovian Moons Campaign]]s, signifying the theater of operations they were fought it. At the outset of the war, the Friedens attacked the [[United Nations colonial advisers]] on [[Io]]. The [[United Nations]] could do little in response, since the [[United Nations Space Command]] was not yet formed at this point. The death toll of the Jovian Moons Campaigns was substantial, but by late [[2170]], the fighting subsided and there was peace for several months. Some dared to speculate that the worst had passed. The conflict had not vanished, however; it had only relocated. In [[2162#February|February of 2162]], however, a series of bombings in [[South America]], on [[Earth]], began a nineteen-month series of conflicts that would come to be known as the [[Rainforest Wars]]. Engagements spread across the continent and before long violence between the warring factions had been reignited throughout the [[Sol]] system.  

In [[2163#November|November of 2163]], the Friedens suffered a critical loss, as their leader, [[Nadja Mielke]], was assassinated on her way to a command center in the Europan city of [[Pelagon]]. This enraged the Friedens, and in [[2163#December|December]] they retaliated against the [[Koslovics]] with nearly all military assets at their disposal. A large scale [[Mars Campaign|campaign]] against [[Argyre Planitia]], the hub of Koslovic activity on [[Mars]], obliterated the city within hours.<ref>'''Halo Mythos''', ''page 50''</ref>

Toward the end of the conflicts, the Frieden movement began to splinter among itself, as the reformist [[Neo-Friedenism|Neo-Friedenists]] proposed peace with the United Nations. This led to [[Battle of Delambre|a conflict]] between the reformers and the hardliner Friedenists on [[Delambre]], [[Luna]].<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 113''</ref>

 

==Organizational aims==

Judging by the term "secessionist", it is clarified that the Frieden movement's main goal was to separate itself from the [[United Nations]]' authority and create an independent state in the Jovian Moons.
