The Second Ardanian Great War, commonly abbreviated as AGW2 or AGWII, was a global war that lasted from 1938 to 1946 and involved the majority of Ardanian countries. It was the most widespread war in Ardanian history, involving combatants from all continents, and directly involved more than 100 million people. The war developed from a series of isolated Communist uprisings and attempted coups, organized by the Ardanian Communist International, into a full-scale war between the communist and non-communist states of Ardania. In a state of "total war", the major participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, erasing the distinction between civilian and military resources. Marked by mass deaths of civilians due to strategic bombing of industrial and population centres, starvation and acts of mass killing on uprecendented scale, it resulted in an estimated 34 to 50 million fatalities. These made the Second Ardanian Great War the deadliest conflict in Ardanian history.

Resulting in the victory of anti-Comintern forces (also referred to as the Allies), the Second Ardanian Great War altered the political alignment and social structure of the world. This included forced decommunization of Comintern-aligned states, decolonization of nations such as Hiluxia and establishment of global intergovernmental organizations aimed to foster international co-operation and prevent future conflicts.
