The Great War, also known as the World War, was a global conflict fought between the Transmedan and Sydenham powers from 17 April 1934 until 20 October 1940. A watershed event in world history, the conflict saw fighting on every continent and directly involved a majority of the world's nations. The war was the first to see the widespread employment of mechanized and aerial warfare by its combatants, and was the last major conflict to take place between great powers before the dawn of the atomic age. More than 100 million people were killed during the Great War, making it the deadliest military conflict in history.

The decades preceding the Great War were marked by the global rise of political extremism, with revolutionary nationalist movements taking power in Falland, Nadauro, and Razan.
