The Grand Alliance, also referred to as the Allied Powers was a worldwide military alliance that countered and fought the Entente throughout the Great War. The main preceding iteration of the Great Alliance was the Tripartite Pact of Estmere, Etruria and Werania in 1923. The phrase "Grand Alliance" was coined by Weranic Emperor Leopold IV in 1926, and was used to describe the alliance throughout the war.

Whilst there was never any binding alliance on paper, the Grand Alliance contained six forefront powers (Estmere, Etruria, Narozalica, Senria, Swetania and Werania), and added many new countries throughout the duration of the conflict, particularly as the fronts expanded to the Asterias. The Grand Alliance ceased to exist in any notable form by the end of the war in 1935, and was mainly superseded by the Security Council of the Community of Nations.

Background

Main powers

Kingdom of Estmere

Etrurian Second Republic

Narozalic Republic

Republic of Senria

[background - keiou restoration, stagnation of modernization, first sakata incident]

[senrian revolution as an estmere-gaullica/xiao proxy conflict]

Senrian troops in house-to-house combat during the Third Battle of Ukyou.

[the council of the senrian state is an uncomfortable compromise; public faith falls; second sakata incident is initiated by senria; this escalates into the great war when both sides call in their alliances]

[initially, senria's goal in the GW is just to survive by any means necessary; three-point plan and imahara coining "total war", plus the trauma of the Senrian Genocide, hammer home this notion of "we win or we die"]

[as the war goes on, its goal becomes dominance in coius and the dismemberment of xiaodong (Nakagawa Plan); but euclea doesn't like this, which engenders bitterness between it and the rest of the allies]

[senria comes out of the war immensely war-weary, but modernized and militarily and economically powerful; this weariness, plus tensions w/ the euclean allies, help pave the way for a return of the xiao threat]
