(1949–1990)
The Silent War was a period of global geopolitical tension from 1949 to 1990. The Vierz Empire and its satellite states, constituting the Central Patyrian Cooperation Association, were engaged in political rivalry with the Vonzumier and Tierada-led Continental Security Organization. The two sides attempted to gain political and military dominance by means of proxy conflict and the stockpiling of nuclear weapons. The conflict is described as "silent" due to the lack of direct military action between the two sides against one another.
The two blocs emerged after the defeat of the Socialist International Coalition in the Great War. Vierzland, Vonzumier, Tierada, Savland, and others emerged victorious, but disputes between Vierzland and Tierada in particular erupted over Vierzland's occupation and repression of former socialist states. An ideological element emerged as well; Vierzland and its allies were generally authoritarian or monarchist, while Tierada, Vonzumier, and their allies were mostly democratic republics.
The conflict began with the Sauvers Memorandum of April 1949, which dissolved the Alliance of Nations.
