The Second Great War, often abbreviated as GWII or GW2, was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1946, involving countries from all continents except Lohicamia. The war involved all of the world's major powers.
The Treaties of Boston which ended First Great War would become the cause of the Second Great War. The León Monarchy was split up into 22 countries which began a series of conflicts against each other, which were marked by ethnic cleansing campaigns and foreign interventions meant to stop them. Many countries were also dissatisfied with penalties they paid. Following the Economic crisis of 1928, Pätschlàn, Seocheon, and Inglaterra were taken over by communist governments in 1932, 1935, and 1936 respectively, while Gryva was taken over by the fascist National Revival Party in 1931. In 1934, the monarchy of Greater Niagara was overthrown, causing the government and Royal Family to flee to Zarareland, while the Niagaran Senatorial Republic was formed. In 1936 the Yedinburg Pact was formed between 8 countries including Alanna, Senatorial Niagara, Gryva, Inglaterra, Pätschlàn, and Seocheon, with the goal of reclaiming land they lost from the Boston Treaties. The Second Coalition was formed several months later between Alaoyi, Fluvannia, Gagium, Hrvada, The Furbish Islands, and the Niagaran government-in-exile.
After a series of blatant violations of the Boston Treaties that were ignored by the Second Coalition, the Yedinburg Pact made a joint declaration of war against the Second Coalition on 15 March 1939. With support from Alanna, Inglaterra invaded the Niagaran colonies of Zarare and the Antarctic Circle State, beginning the Frigo Front, and Alaoyi, beginning the bloody Western Alaoyian Front. At the same time, Gryva and Senatorial Niagara invaded Hrvada and neutral Sol'Vin. In Stratea, Pätschlàn invaded Gagium and were joined by XXX and XXX, while Coalition forces were joined by XXX and XXX. In all fronts, new tactics were employed that allowed Yedinburg Pact forces to gain land rapidly. Within a month, several countries fell to Yedinburg Pact forces, including XXX and XXX, and rapid advances continued throughout the summer and autumn.
In the Stratean front, Yedinburg Pact forces except for Pätschlàn were plagued by incompetent leadership, which resulted in their advances being halted by summer 1939. The harsh geography in Frigo and Galia also resulted in Inglaterran advances being halted around the same time. insert more information about different fronts here
The next five years saw a stalemate, though the war was much more mobile than the First Great War. Some cities changed hands five or six times during the war. By 1944 Yedinburg Pact have solidified their position in the former León Monarchy, though Agnia and Gagium managed to fight off invasions of their territory. Soldiers from Stratea were freed to fight in other fronts, and soon mounting pressure forced Coalition soldiers back in Abos and Galia. Believing a breakthrough in Agnia, Gagium, and Hrvada was only a matter of time, Coalition forces agreed to a truce on 5 January 1946.
The Second Great War resulted in the change of the world order. Despite being defeated, the economies of Fluvannia, Gagium, and The Furbish Islands were much quicker to recover. The new world order established became very fragile, as conflicts began between the winning powers even before the end of the war. The Niagaran government-in-exile would peacefully return in 1963, ending the Senatorial Republic. The conflict between different colonies of Greater Niagara during the war would eventually lead to decolonization over the next four decades, this became one of the factors that led to Fluvan replacing Niagaran as the world language.
