The Great War was a first (and as of now the biggest) global conflict, fought mostly in southern and eastern Thuadia and western Thrismari.

Situation before the war

Multiple imperialist countries in central Thuadia created a so called "Iron Pact", which aimed as a cooperative offensive alliance, which hoped to strenghten its members by expanding into non-member's territory. With the historical colonial empires such as Krenya on board, but also centralised empires such as the Sebric Empire, the alliance aimed to capture multiple neighboring countries and scramble Thuadia and Thrismari and split it among themselves.
The countermovement to this military force, the so-called "Alliance" was a hesitant group of mostly pacifist democratic nations trying to counter the imperialist union. Its members were mostly smaller non-imperial countries with only defensive ambitions, with some exceptions of disunited countries (such as Kandhën in Qazshava)
Although the Alliance was mostly non-imperialist, it de facto had multiple members which used to have a colonial empire at the time (Kentalis, Gadorien). Those countries, however, adopted more democratic principles and supported the self-determination of countries in their respective empires.

War begins

Sometimes in early May 1905, Jigradas launched a series of provocative strikes on Kandhën, hoping to reunite Qazhshava under imperial government. On May 21st, about a brigade of Jigradan troops crossed the border into Kandhën and slaughtered three villages of people they deemed unworthy to live. This caused Kandhën to quickly mobilize and declare war on June 4th.
Krenya, hoping to get southern areas of Kandhën for itself, joined the war and crossed border into Kandhën. This action caused a domino effect, in which countries from both sides started declaring war on each other. By mid July 1905, the Sebric Empire, Jigradas, Krenya and Velharia were at war with Gadorien, Kandhën, Bogmia and Zhengia and more countries joined in.
