| | The '''Second Great War''', often abbreviated as '''GWII''' or '''GW2''', was a [[Great Wars|global war]] that lasted from 1939 to 1946, involving countries from all continents except [[Lohicamia]]. The war involved all of the world's {{wp|major powers}}. |
|
| |
|
| The '''Second Great War''' ('''2GW''' or '''SGW''') was a global war that lasted from 1942 to 1948. It involved the majority of the world's countries—including all but one of the great powers—forming two opposing military alliances: the [[Democratic Alliance]] and the [[RCN Uunied Front|United Front]]. In a state of total war, directly involving more than 100 million personnel, the major participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, blurring the distinction between civilian and military resources. The Second Great War was the deadliest conflict in human history, resulting in 70 to 85 million fatalities, with more civilians than military personnel killed. Tens of millions of people died due to genocides (including the [[Budućnost]]). Aircraft played a major role in the conflict, including in strategic bombing of population centres, the development of nuclear weapons, and the only five uses of such weapons in war. | | The [[Boston Peace Conference|Treaties of Boston]] which ended [[First Great War]] would become the cause of the Second Great War. The [[León Monarchy]] was split up into 22 countries which began a series of conflicts against each other, which were marked by ethnic cleansing campaigns and foreign interventions meant to stop them. Many countries were also dissatisfied with penalties they paid. Following the [[Economic crisis of 1928]], [[Pätschlàn]], [[Seocheon]], and [[Inglaterra]] were taken over by communist governments in 1932, 1935, and 1936 respectively, while [[Gryva]] was taken over by the fascist [[National Revival Party (Gryva)|National Revival Party]] in 1931. In 1934, the monarchy of [[Greater Niagara]] was overthrown, causing the government and Royal Family to flee to [[Zarare|Zarareland]], while the [[Niagaran Senatorial Republic]] was formed. In 1936 the [[Yedinburg Pact]] was formed between 8 countries including [[Alanna]], Senatorial Niagara, Gryva, Inglaterra, Pätschlàn, and Seocheon, with the goal of reclaiming land they lost from the Boston Treaties. The Second Coalition was formed several months later between [[Alaoyi]], [[Fluvannia]], [[Gagium]], [[Hrvada]], [[The Furbish Islands]], and the [[Niagaran government-in-exile]]. |
| | |
| The Second Great War is generally considered to have begun on 1 March 1942, with the invasion of Libervalley by Attancia and subsequent declarations of war on Attancia by Nordhagan and Fluvannia on the 3rd. From mid 1942 to early 1944, in a series of campaigns and massacres, Attancia conquered or controlled much of northern Nordhagan and Libervalley, and formed the United Front with West Florida. With the establishment of a Nordhaganish puppet in the northern half of the country, Attancia began to claim the land. Following the onset of campaigns in Northeastern Nordhagan, and the fall of Libervalley, the war continued primarily between Attancia and the remaining Nordhaganish and Fluvannian forces, with the aerial Battle of Nordhagan, the [[First Invasion of Četvrti]], and the [[Battle of the Palaven]]. On 19 June 1945, Nordhagan, supported by Fluvannia, began an invasion to retake Nordhagan, Libervalley, and eliminate Attancia, opening the [[RCN Western Front|Western Front]], the largest land theatre of war in history.
| |
| | |
| West Florida, which aimed to dominate northern Straegos and the Polar Ocean, sought to eliminate New Waldensia. In December 1942, West Florida attacked New Waldensian territory with near-simultaneous offensives against the southern half of the country including an [[Port Carlos Attack|attack on the NW fleet at Port Carlos]]. Following a NW declaration of war against West Florida, which followed one from Nordhagan and Fluvannia, Attancia declared war on New Waldensia in solidarity with its ally. West Florida soon conquered most of Venalda and Hussia, but its advances were halted in 1945 after losing the critical [[Battle of Gramsby and Luberon]]; Key setbacks in 1945—including a series of Attancia defeats on the Western Front, the Nordhagan counter invasions of Četvrti and Libervalley, and Fluvannian offensives in Northeastern Nordhagan—cost Attancia its initiative and forced it into strategic retreat on all fronts. In addition, the [[Bombing of HAVEL CITY]] by Attancia pushed the Havel Group and its considerable economic might over to the side of the Democratic Alliance. In 1947, Nordhagan and Fluvannia had successfully reclaimed Nordhagan territory, while New Waldensia regained its territorial losses and turned towards the West Floridian mainland. During 1947 and 1948, West Florida suffered reversals in mainland Straegos, while the New Waldensian air and naval forces crippled the West Floridian Navy and captured key Ardat Sea ports.
| |
| | |
| The war in Straegos-Econis concluded with the liberation of Attancian-occupied territories, and the invasion of Attancia itself by Nordhagan and Fluvannia, culminating in the fall of Agelivelle to Nordhaganish troops, the nuclear bombings of [[Atomic Bombing of XX and YY|on '''TWO ATTANCIAN CITIES''']] on November 29 1947 and December 3, the [[Atomic Bombing of Edenboro|nuclear bombing of Edenboro]] on December 14, the surrender of Acacius Diodorus, and the Attancian unconditional surrender on 18 January 1948. Following the surrender of Attancia, Nordhagan and Fluvannia faced towards West Florida while New Waldensia used an atomic bomb on [[Atomic Bombing of FT|on '''FLORIDIAN TOWN''']] on March 3 1948. Faced with an ongoing [[Invasion of West Florida|invasion of the West Floridian heartland]], the possibility of additional atomic bombings, and having used its only atomic bomb [[Atomic Bombing of WT|on '''WALDENSIAN TOWN''']] on 8 May, West Florida announced its intention to surrender on 10 June, cementing total victory in northern Straegos for the Democratic Alliance. In the wake of the war, Attancia and West Florida were briefly occupied, and war crimes tribunals were conducted against their leaders. However, such occupations lasted no more than a year due to weariness of war among the Nordhaganish, Fluvannian, and New Waldensian public.
| |
| | |
| The Second Great War changed the political alignment and social structure of the globe. The Democratic Alliance was transformed into the Global Union of Nations established to foster international co-operation and prevent future conflicts. Despite heavy casualties, Nordhagan and Attancia emerged as rival superpowers, setting the stage for the nearly eight decade long [[Soft War]].

| | After a series of blatant violations of the Boston Treaties that were ignored by the Second Coalition, the Yedinburg Pact made a joint declaration of war against the Second Coalition on 15 March 1939. With support from Alanna, Inglaterra invaded the Niagaran colonies of Zarare and the Antarctic Circle State, beginning the [[Frigo Front (Second Great War)|Frigo Front]], and Alaoyi, beginning the bloody [[Western Alaoyian Front (Second Great War)|Western Alaoyian Front]]. At the same time, Gryva and Senatorial Niagara invaded Hrvada and neutral [[Sol'Vin]]. In Stratea, Pätschlàn invaded Gagium and were joined by XXX and XXX, while Coalition forces were joined by XXX and XXX. In all fronts, new tactics were employed that allowed Yedinburg Pact forces to gain land rapidly. Within a month, several countries fell to Yedinburg Pact forces, including XXX and XXX, and rapid advances continued throughout the summer and autumn. |

|
| ==== August ====
| | In the Stratean front, Yedinburg Pact forces except for Pätschlàn were plagued by incompetent leadership, which resulted in their advances being halted by summer 1939. The harsh geography in Frigo and Galia also resulted in Inglaterran advances being halted around the same time. insert more information about different fronts here |

| === 1944 ===
| | The next five years saw a stalemate, though the war was much more mobile than the First Great War. Some cities changed hands five or six times during the war. By 1944 Yedinburg Pact have solidified their position in the former León Monarchy, though Agnia and Gagium managed to fight off invasions of their territory. Soldiers from Stratea were freed to fight in other fronts, and soon mounting pressure forced Coalition soldiers back in Abos and Galia. Believing a breakthrough in Agnia, Gagium, and Hrvada was only a matter of time, Coalition forces agreed to a truce on 5 January 1946. |

| ==== February ====
| | The Second Great War resulted in the change of the world order. Despite being defeated, the economies of Fluvannia, Gagium, and The Furbish Islands were much quicker to recover. The new world order established became very fragile, as [[Frozen War|conflicts began]] between the winning powers even before the end of the war. The Niagaran government-in-exile would peacefully [[Reunification (Greater Niagara)|return]] in 1963, ending the Senatorial Republic. The conflict between different colonies of Greater Niagara during the war would eventually lead to decolonization over the next four decades, this became one of the factors that led to Fluvan replacing Niagaran as the {{wp|world language}}. |
