The Great War, also known in Vierz-speaking countries as the World War (Weltkrieg), was a global war fought between 1942 and 1948. The conflict was largely fought between the Socialist International Coalition, led by Luepola, Granzery and Apelia, and the Allied Powers, led by the Vierz Empire, Vonzumier, Tierada, and Savland. The war resulted in the mobilization of some 90 million military personnel in over 20 countries, marking the formation of a state of total war. It is estimated that between 70 to 80 million people died, making it the deadliest war in human history. The war saw the mass deployment of chemical weapons on nearly all fronts and untold numbers of civilian deaths as a result of widespread starvation, disease, and strategic bombing.
