The '''Great Eastern Rivalry''', also known as the '''Joyonghea-Quenmin conflict''' was a geopolitical rivalry between the [[Joyonghean Empire]] and the [[Empire of Quenmin (Lucisverse)|Empire of Quenmin]] that lasted from the late 19th century to 1945. The rivalry observed the two colonial powers vying for influence and territorial gains within East Asianna and islands in Hindalesia and the North Oceanian region. | The '''Great Eastern Rivalry''', also known as the '''Joyonghea-Quenmin conflict''' was a geopolitical rivalry between the [[Joyonghean Empire]] and the [[Empire of Quenmin (Lucisverse)|Empire of Quenmin]] that lasted from the late 19th century to 1945.

The rivalry began around 1876 with movements and conflicts situated in and around the North Oceanian islands, most notably the [[Joyonghean colonization of the Whiteford Islands]], the [[Quenminese annexation of Guom]], and the establishment of the Kingdom of Kiribita as a Quenminese protectorate. From 1878 onward, the rivalry expanded onto Lorica. Until the first major confrontation in 1890, diplomatic manuevers, commercial imperatives, and espionage ensued among the colonial powers, with attempts to win over political alignments and economic agreements among bordering Oceanian island nations and Lorica and sabotage each other's efforts of expansion. The First War resulted in a status quo with agreements on maritime borders and buffer states. From 1913, the [[Montagique Affair]], which involved Quenminese goals of establishing an independent protectorate from the [[Atlantic Federation]], incentivized Joyonghea to declare war against and invade Quenmin with pressure from the Federation and resulted in the Jeongsa War. The conflict inflicted huge economic and military tolls on Joyonghea, and was forced to cede more territory to Quenmin. The status quo subsided until Quenmin annexed [[Aurucolian Formosa]] on 7 May 1924 against the advice of the United Kingdom. Joyonghea then initiated diplomatic manuevering and espionage in order to guarantee and support Taoyuanese independence, resuming the rivalry. In 1932, it exacerbated with the Quocvangists ascending into power in Quenmin and advanced an extremely hawkish expansionist policy against Joyonghea in the form of conquest. After joining the [[Cremologna Pact]] in 1933, the Quenminese drew up plans to annex the entirety of the Joyonghea and underwent this venture in the Third Joyonghean-Quenminese War.

The Great Eastern Rivalry, also known as the Joyonghea-Quenmin conflict was a geopolitical rivalry between the Joyonghean Empire and the Empire of Quenmin that lasted from the late 19th century to 1945. The rivalry observed the two colonial powers vying for influence and territorial gains within East Asianna and islands in Hindalesia and the North Oceanian region.
The Great Eastern Rivalry was generally marked by distrust, diplomatic intrigue, espionage, and regional wars. The mutual fears from both powers regarded Lorica and the North Oceanian islands, each remaining apprehensive of the consequences of the other's expanding spheres of influence and territory. Joyonghea feared for its maritime trade ventures and border integrity dismantling from Quenminese expansionism, while Quenmin grew concerned of enlarged Joyonghean territories, influence and interests in East Asianna hampering their economic status, and colonial and commercial ambitions. Thus, Joyonghea made it a priority to protect its territories and waters, while Quenmin continued its military expansions. Their apprehensions sometimes erupted in full-scale conflicts between the two powers, the first occuring in 1894-1897, the second in 1914-1920, and the third in 1937-1945.
