Line 59:
The war was sparked by an ultimatum issued by the Elyrians to the [[Federation of Arith]], threatening war if their demands were not met. Relations between the two nations were icy beginning from the very founding of Peachfield. In response, the FoA and its allies founded the Entente to counter the perceived Elyrian aggression.
Despite their small number, Elyrian forces were able to win multiple key battles at the beginning of the war on August 20. The Elyrians used guerrilla tactics to distract and divide the huge Entente army to great effect, forcing the Entente to fight a war on multiple fronts at [[Kingdoms of Arith|Romanus Silva]], [[Nevermore Brigade|Castle Nevermore]], [[Pyrrhus]], and [[Fossore Republic|
The Great War permanently changed the political landscape of Alathra. The war caused the collapse of multiple nations with a large reduction of active population on the Entente side and cemented Elyria's status as the world's sole superpower. It was also characterized by great out-of-character hostilities between the two sides - Entente forces saw the war as not only a reaction against Elyria's hostilities but revenge for their role in the semi-collapse of [[Kogongu]] and [[Ashina]]. The outcome of the war was massively controversial, with some choosing to the leave realm entirely after the Elyrian victory. After the war, ShermansWorld deposed King Eiric in a coup, crowning himself Emperor and founding the Elyrian Empire, with some former Entente nations choosing to swear fealty to the new regime.
