The '''Dulebo-Gurkhan War of 1899-1902''' was a major conflict that took place on the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries between the Dulebian Empire and the Changhanid Empire, more commonly known at the time as the Gurkhanate or the Gurkhan Empire. The war is often considered the third in a series of conflicts between the countries that took place between the 18th and 20th centuries. Fought in the region known as Pomoria, the war saw the rise of Pomorian nationalism and a number of revolts against the 5-century rule of the Gurkhanate in the region, a movement that was actively supported by the Dulebian Empire.

The Dulebo-Gurkhan War of 1899-1902 was a major conflict that took place on the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries between the Dulebian Empire and the Changhanid Empire, more commonly known at the time as the Gurkhanate or the Gurkhan Empire. The war is often considered the third in a series of conflicts between the countries that took place between the 18th and 20th centuries. Fought in the region known as Pomoria, the war saw the rise of Pomorian nationalism and a number of revolts against the 5-century rule of the Gurkhanate in the region, a movement that was actively supported by the Dulebian Empire.

During the conflict, Dulebian forces crossed the Haydushki Mountains and advanced into the Pomorian lowlands, capturing the major ports of Alanya (later renamed to Balchevsk) and Aksaray (renamed Bakhchi-Sarai). Dulebian forces performed a naval invasion on the Bacala Islands, capturing them in 1901, while the Dulebian First Endotheric Squadron, later reclassed as the First Endotheric Fleet, largely disabled all Gurkhan military ships in several naval battles in the first months of the war. The Dulebian army continued its advance into the inner parts of the Gurkhan Empire, but the threat of intervention of other Berean powers into the confict forced the Dulebian Emperor to order ceasefire and start a peace treaty. As a result of the 1902 Treaty of Ekaterinoslav, Dulebia kept most of the historic region of Pomoria as well as the Bacala Islands.

The occupied Pomorian lands were not granted complete independence by the Dulebian Empire. Instead, they were added to the imperial possessions as a semi-independent state, receiving the title Condominium of Pomoria. The region was one of the most ethnically diverse within the empire, even considering the fact the empire itself was already the most ethnically-diverse state in Berea at the time. This situation would lead to a number of revolts, and ultimately the separation of the region and the declaration of independence during the Dulebian Civil War. The primary result of the war, however, was the establishment of Dulebia as a major power on the Endotheric Sea, which was historically dominated by the Lavarian Kingdom for as long as the kingdom itself had existed: this fact worsened the relations between the two states and was a significant precursor of the Great War.
