(1949–1990)
The Silent War was a period of global geopolitical tension from 1949 to 1990. The Vierz Empire and its satellite states, constituting the Central Patyrian Cooperation Association, were engaged in political rivalry with the Vonzumier and Tierada-led Continental Security Organization. The two sides attempted to gain political and military dominance by means of proxy conflict and the stockpiling of nuclear weapons. The conflict is described as "silent" due to the lack of direct military action between the two sides against one another.
The two blocs emerged after the defeat of the Socialist International Coalition in the Great War. Vierzland, Vonzumier, Tierada, Savland, and others emerged victorious, but disputes between Vierzland and Tierada in particular erupted over Vierzland's occupation and repression of former socialist states. An ideological element emerged as well; Vierzland and its allies were generally authoritarian or monarchist, while Tierada, Vonzumier, and their allies were mostly democratic republics. The remaining two Communist countries, the Aitic Union and Bhasar, loosely aligned themselves with the CSO, and rose to world power status by the conclusion of the conflict.
The Silent War began with the Sauvers Memorandum of April 1949, which dissolved the Alliance of Nations. Throughout the conflict, numerous crises gripped the world as the two blocs wrestled for power and went through phases of confrontation and détente. The Silent War ultimately culminated in the Luepolan War wherein Vierzland unsuccessfully fought to restore the overthrown government of Luepola, formerly its most populous ally in Patyria. Vierzland's failure to force Luepola back into the CPCA led to its collapse, and ultimately the Vierz Revolution and the Werner Declaration, which de facto ended the Vierz Empire and the Silent War overall.
