The Great Continental War (often abbrevated as GCW), also known as [ALTERNATE NAMES], was a global conflict originating in Eastern Serica which took place from 27 June 1905 to 9 September 1912. While the core conflict came to an end with the Congress of [X] and subsequent armistice in 1912, several conflicts erupted in the immediate periphery of the war, including mass mutinies, coups, and revolutions which endured until 1960.
Over the course of the latter decades of the 19th Century, the geopolitical landscape was dominated by the Serican Empire, the preeminent economic, military, and colonial power in the northern hemisphere. Wracked with numerous sources of political strife, including rival factions in the imperial court, corruption in the military, and a number of popular revolts following a series of major famines, increasing levels of regionalism within the empire led to its outright collapse following the death of [EMPEROR] and the subsequent [DIVIDING WAR INVOLVING HUAJIANG] from [YEARS], which left the former heartland of the country under the control of two relatively stable but mutually hostile nations - Guakok, a rump state controlled by the remainder of the loyalists to the Emperor, and Huajiang, a budding republican society. As a result of local instability, both of these states attempted to leverage their influence as successors to the Empire to secure trade and political alliances across the Old World nations.
