The Continental War, also known as the Cross-Continental War, was a significant global conflict primarily between nations in Cardia, Erdara, Dysia, and Hallania, that lasted from 1910 to 1916. Having reached a never before seen scale, it led to the mobilisation of more than eleven million military personnel, making it one of the largest wars in history. With an estimated one million combatants and fifty thousand civilian deaths as a direct consequence of the war, it is also one of the deadliest conflicts in history.
The conflict began on September 7, 1910 following an attempt by the Kingdom of Hytekojuznia to annex Anlaufhafen. It lasted until the unilateral surrender of remaining LOSING SIDE powers on May 29, 1916 and peace was declared following the Treaty of Sigairen.
