The Second Wheat War, also known as the 1997 Saterocian invasion of Saroq, was an armed conflict in September of 1997 that happened primarily between Sateroc and Saroq. On 8 September 1997, on the 30th anniversary of the First Wheat War, Sateroc began a suden bombardment of Saroq, before launching a surprise invasion of the nation of Saroq, which had declared independence from Sateroc just four decades prior during the 1923 Sateroc crisis. The war lasted just 5 days, and compared to the previous war, Sateroc surpassed expectations due to their performance in the first war, reaching the outskirts of Elmonton before the ceasefire agreement came into effect. Although the war was inconclusive, it is largely referred to as a Saterocian victory due to their rapid advancements and later regional effects.
