The situation escalated after a clash between those groups in the German-speaking town of Schattendorf which triggered a series of events leading to massive protests, a fire at the Freedonian Palace of Justice and, eventually, the resignation of the three Presidents of the Parliament which nearly plunged Freedonia into anarchy. The Freedonian main parties - the right wing Christian Socialists and the left wing Social Democrats - used propaganda and private armies to fight each other in the streets of all major Freedonian cities. In this times of economical chaos the Freedonian people sought refuge in political parties which led to radicalization of politics. Obviously, this caused inflation to skyrocket, which led to increasing numbers of unemployment. Without their industrial power the Freedonian economy collapsed - a development which started when the government printed tremendous amounts of new money in order to pay the reparations that were demanded by the Entente Powers. Its entire economy, infrastructure and traffic network were designed for a huge empire that now had ceased to exist and valueable territories such as Rubovia, Grand Fenwick, Latveria and Ruritania were a great loss for the damaged nation. The interwar years were a harsh time for the struggling nation of Freedonia. After the death of her husband in 1925, he was a wealthy but lonely woman who was somewhat fascinated by Firefly's unique behaviour. He worked for the Agriculture ministry as secretary of the Farmers' Association and became director of the Lower Freedonian Chamber of Agriculture and as a member of the conservative Christian Social Party he met and befriended Maria Zita Teasdale. With Freedonia reduced to a tiny nation, Firefly saw his chance to go into politics. Wracked by nationalism and the disastrous outcome of the war, the Osterlich-Zubrowkan Empire was breaking apart, turning into quarreling nation states. After the end of the war Firefly returned home - or at least to what remained of his home. He was a highly decorated soldier and was briefly taken prisoner by the Italians as a POW in 1918. Eventually he was accepted and sent to the Alpine Front. Firefly tried to enlist into the Freedonian army but had considerable difficulty due to his short stature (approximately 1.5 m) and his provoking attitude. Upon hearing of the upcoming war, Rufus T. On July 23, 1914, the Archduke Franz Ferdinand was shot by an agent of the Black Hand, a radical Serbian nationalist movement which eventually triggered World War I. During his study, Firefly developed an unusual talent: while he was a rhetorically gifted man, he used this talent mainly to provoke and to insult others - often people in positions of authority. Firefly was educated at a Roman Catholic seminary before deciding to study Law at the University of Freedonia and then Economics at the University of Berlin.
