The Battle of Sinai (15 March 1941 – 10 November 1941) was an 8-month long battle that took place throughout the Sinai Peninsula, which caused a spillover of the war into the Midgar Federation. The battle was the 2nd longest ever fought in the Middle East Campaign after the Battle of Sania. The end of the battle saw the Imperial forces retreat into Selucia, where it was turned into the last Imperial fortress in the Sinai and ended the Imperial control over the Middle East for good.
