The '''Great War''' was a [[Pardes|global]] {{wp|World war|war}} that lasted from 1941 to 1946, although related conflicts began earlier. It involved the vast majority of the world's nations—including all of the {{wp|great power}}s—eventually forming three opposing {{wp|military alliance}}s: the [[Triple Alliance (Pardes)|Triple Alliance]], [[The Coalition]], and the [[Central Powers]]. It was the most widespread {{wp|war}} in history, and directly involved more than XX million people from over 20 countries. In a state of "{{wp|total war}}", the major participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the {{wp|war effort}}, erasing the distinction between {{wp|civilian}} and {{wp|military}} resources. 

The [[Yakima|Empire of Yakima]] aimed to dominate the [[Kasaishima#Far East|Far East]] and the notPacific and was already [[Great Eastern War (Pardes)|at war]] with the [[Belfrasian Empire]], [[Sieuxerr|Fifth Republic of Sieuxerr]], [[Imperial Republic of Anikatia]] and [[Arthurista|Commonwealth of Arthurista]] in 1940, but the world war is generally said to have begun on June 7 1941 with the simultaneous invasions of [[Belfras]] by [[Rodarion]] and [[Arthurista|the Commonwealth]] by the [[Arthuristan National State|ANS]] and subsequent declarations of war on Rodarion and its allies by [[Arthurista|the Commonwealth]] and [[Belfras]]. 

From 1941 to until 1943, in a series of campaigns and [[Triple Alliance (Pardes)|treaties]], Rodarion conquered or controlled much of southern and central [[Lusankya]], and expanded the territory controlled by the Triple Alliance, which included [[Galarian Regime|Galarian-era Belhavia]] and the [[Arthuristan National State]].
