The Nelborne War was a conflict fought from 1939 to 1942 that involved the countries of the Nelborne. The war pinned Seketan and New Svealand against Alquiya and Lormotia, the latter receiving co-belligerent support from Nazi Germany. Nominally considered a minor theatre of World War II, Seketan was the only country formally involved in the global conflict upon its 1941 declaration of war against Germany.
Prior to the conflict, the economic devastation of the Great Depression led to nationalist uprisings in Alquiya and Lormotia. Amidst the Trjebian dispute, the Alquiyan government held claims to the Rynedan peninsula which was administered by Seketan. In 1939, Alquiyan troops marched through the area and formally annexed the area, which led to an immediate retaliation from Seketan. After the Rynedan skirmish, Alquiya formally declared war on Seketan. New Svealand, in a military alliance with Seketan, declared war on Alquiya in support of Seketan.
The war initiated in stalemate, with Alquiya failing to make further gains past Seketese garrisons in southern Bynan. With Svealandic troops deployed primarily in Seketan, Alquiyan interests grew in opening a front on the Svealandic-Lormot border. In 1938, Lormotia's monarchy was replaced by a nationalist government that maintained friendly relations with Alquiya. Hoping to sue New Svealand for territorial concessions and legitimize the current government, Lormotia formally entered the war in support and Alquiya in 1940 and launched the Invasion of New Svealand. Although initially immensely successful, New Svealand grew into a state of total war and prevented further losses past Rosenburg.
In 1941, Nazi Germany began supporting Alquiya and Lormotia with intelligence and airforce support, but it was ineffective in making further gains. By 1942, both sides had suffered heavy casualties with morale tanking. With the front in Bynan still in stalemate, a Seketese-Svealandic push southeastward resulted in the utter defeat of Lormotia, which had already been experiencing mass political instability. The Treaty of Glasgow formally ended the war; its terms required that Alquiya cease all territorial claims in the borders of Seketan, and that Lormotia's former constitutional monarchy be restored.
