The Melasian Crisis (Hesurian: Melasien-Krise, Cuthish: X), also known as the Great Crisis or Mid-Century Crisis, was a major military conflict that lasted from 1941 until 1943. The conflict was initially a guerilla war in Mascyllary Melasia between Mascyllary colonial forces and pro-independence Melasian insurgents, later spreading to the Telmerian Peninsula and igniting a large-scale conventional war between Mascylla and Cuthland. The crisis was the first major great power confrontation since the Great War, and is widely considered by historians and international relations experts to be the closest that the world has come to the outbreak of a Second Great War.

The Melasian Crisis had wide reaching effects that led to a major realignment of the international system for the first time since the Great War. Cuthland reemerged as a great power, leveraging its newly minted alliance with Melasia to establish the Mageiros League as a counterbalance to Mascyllary influence. Mascylla and its allies subsequently founded the Berean Defence Treaty Association, laying the groundwork for the Great Game as these two alliances, along with the not!COMINTERN, emerged as the primary geopolitical blocs during the second half of the 20th century. The effectiveness of the Assembly of Nations in deescalating and ending the crisis was widely praised by world leaders, firmly establishing the organization's credibility as a fixture in the geopolitical landscape and a major force for international peace and cooperation.
