The Liberation of Calsahara occurred on 29 October 2017, when a coalition force formed by Westarctica and its ally the Kingdom of Shiloh invaded and conquered Calsahara, a sovereign micronation located on the Carrizo Plain of California. As a result of the successful military operation, Calsahara became a colony of Westarctica.

Calsahara had much in common with Westarctica: it is remote, uninhabited, has a hostile climate, and nobody seems to care too much about it.
