The term Ani Federali (lit. 'federal years'), also known as Reconstruction, refers to a period of nation-building in Baliscan history following the conclusion of an extended civil war, which resulted in the country's federalization under it's first president, Michelangelo Valentino.
Government sponsored-programs enacted by the empowered Confederal Congress during this time resulted in an unprecedented wave of immigrants to Balisca, resulting in the introduction of influxes of cheap labor and the influence of European capitalist intervention in Baliscan economic and social policy. Early investments in industry and the development of the railway network during the 1840s came almost exclusively from private hands. Without a central labor regulatory agencies, these construction projects were quickly realized, often at great loss of life. Actual industrialization only took off after 1850 in the wake of the railroad construction, and for the next two decades Baliscan industry grew exponentially.
In the later years of the Ani Federali, the establishment was threatened by the rise of the Cosmocazo movement, which arose as from those opposed to the displays of caesarism of President Michelangelo Valentino and the centralization of political and economic power in Castejón. The tenure Valentino's successor, Josèp Bernat was fraught with growing radicalism, particularly amongst anarchists within the labor movement, and by Bernat's efforts to crush protests with violent force by regional militias in the Cantonal War. After three tumultuous years in office, Bernat (operating from Maracaju) resigned on 8 June 1876, and fled to Brazil. The 1883 Confederal Convention would overwhelmingly consist of the Cantonalists, and the confederation was subsequently reorganized into cantons and communes, and the regions were abolished.
