The World War, also known as the Aurelia War or the Great Euralia War, was a global war that lasted from April 12th, 1949 to November 12th, 1956. The war initially started after the Holy Empire of Drambenburg invaded Avergnon, which prompted Zamastan to rush to its aid. A state of total war emerged after a few months of stalemates in the fighting, directly involving more than 100 million people from 8 countries. The major participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, blurring the distinction between civilian and military resources. It included massacres, genocides, strategic bombing, and premeditated death from starvation and disease.
