The Second Great War (2GW or SGW) was a global war that lasted from 1941 to 1948. It involved the majority of the world's countries—including all of the great powers—forming two opposing military alliances: the ALLIANCE ONE and the ALLIANCE TWO. In a state of total war, directly involving more than 100 million personnel, the major participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, blurring the distinction between civilian and military resources. The Second Great War was the deadliest conflict in human history, resulting in 70 to 85 million fatalities, with more civilians than military personnel killed. Tens of millions of people died due to genocides (including the '''SOMETHING'''). Aircraft played a major role in the conflict, including in strategic bombing of population centres, the development of nuclear weapons, and the only six uses of such weapons in war.

The Second Great War is generally considered to have begun on 22 June 1941, with the invasion of China by Arcadia. From mid 1941 to early 1943, in a series of campaigns and the "Raskkrig" strategy, Arcadia conquered or controlled much of northern and eastern China, and had advanced near the Carsilian "50 Kilo Line" outside of Hong Kong. With the establishment of Arcadian civilian governments in much of the disputed territory, Arcadia began to claim the land. Following the onset of campaigns in Northeastern China, and the Battle of Shanghai, the war continued primarily between Arcadia and the remaining Chinese forces, with the aerial Battle of Chungking, the Battle of Wuhan, Battle of Zaoyang–Yichang, the First Invasion of Canton, and the Battle of the North Teythian. On 3 March, 1943, Arcadia, supported discreetly by Chinese collaborators and the Osean Federation, crossed the 50 Kilo Line, drawing Czeily into the war with an official declaration coming on 5 March. On 6 March, the Osean Federation and Erusea officially joined in on the side of Arcadia.

The Osean Federation, which aimed to sezie Czeily's holdings in China, attacked Carsilian forces in combat against the Arcadian troops in China. In July 1943, Osea and Erusea attacked Czeily's colonial territories with near-simultaneous offensives against all fronts, including a successful offensive that captured large portions of central China. Osea and Erusea soon conquered most of Honan and Hupeh. The Arcadian advanced was halted in late 1946 after losing the critical Battle of Changsha; Other key setbacks in 1945 and 1946—including a series of Arcadian defeats on the Chinese Front, the Carsilian invasions of Storøy and Grensland, and Chinese offensives in Northeastern China—cost Arcadia its initiative and forced it into strategic retreat on all fronts. By the start 1947, much of the gains since late 1942 had been reversed and China had successfully reclaimed much of Osean-held territory, while also nearly regaining control over several major cities in the southern coastal regions. During 1947 and 1948, the ALLIANCE TWO suffered reversals in mainland Laurentia, while ALLIANCE ONE air and naval forces crippled the Arcadian navy and captured several key ports on the Mrzan Sea and North Teythian Ocean.

The war in Sukairandia concluded with the liberation of Arcadian-occupied islands, and the invasion of eastern Arcadia itself by Czeily and ANYONE ELSE, culminating in the fall of Agelivelle to Carsilian troops. Desperate, Arcadian Emperor Paal II ordered the nuclear bombings of on Winchester and YY on March 28, 1948 and March 30. Czeily retaliated with the nuclear bombing of TOWN on Apil 19. Another Carsilian bomb, given to China, was used on OSEAN CITY to which Arcadia retaliated with the bombing of Nanking. The bombing of Nanking caused extreme political instability and led to the Chinese Civil War. The sixth and final atomic weapon was used on the Arcadian capital of Bypaahavet on May 1, resulting in the deaths of most of the Arcadian imperial government and sparking civil war. Faced with increasingly unstable domestic situations, Arcadia and China signed a mutual and indefinite ceasefire on May 25. Following the end of the Arcadian-Chinese hostilities, the other nations involved negotiated their own separate ceasefires. By 11 December of 1948 the war had quietly come to a close.

In 1950, the Final Settlement was signed by most of the world. Aside from officially ending the war, the Final Settlement established much of the postwar order. Institutions such as the Pangaean Congress of Nations, the Global Monetary Fund, and the Global Court of Law were established to connect the world through economic ties and provide forums for the peaceful resolution of international disputes. Insert any other results one may have.
