The Great War, also known as the World War, was a global conflict fought between the Transmedan and Sydenham powers from 17 April 1934 until 20 October 1940. Having reached a never before seen scale, the conflict saw fighting on every continent and directly involved a majority of the world's nations. The war was the first to see the widespread employment of mechanized and aerial warfare by its combatants, and was the last major conflict to take place between great powers before the dawn of the atomic age. More than 50 million people were killed during the Great War, making it one of the deadliest military conflict in history. The war ended in Calesia with Falland fully occupied by the Transmedan powers after and unconditional surrender which was followed by the TBD Peace Treaties.

The decades preceding the Great War were marked by the global rise of political extremism, with revolutionary nationalist movements taking power in Falland, Nadauro, and Razan.

The Great War at large was a political, economic, cultural, and social turning point for the world. It is generally considered to mark the foundation for the international order of the rest of the 20th century and 21st century, it also saw the dissolution of multiple influential states and the deterioration of others' powers.
