Imperiyan War

The Imperiyan War, often abbreviated as IW or IW1 was a global armed conflict that lasted from 6 April, 1922 to 1 February 1925. It involved all of Imperiya's great powers and the majority of Imperiya's nations, forming three military alliances: the Coalition, Global Liberation Bloc, and the Continental Pact.
The Imperiyan War is generally considered to have begun on 6 April, 1922, when the Kingdom of Hénira declared war on the State of Bulphi, supported by allies of both sides. In January of 1923, the Coalition forces invaded the island of Arnuu, and eventually Finolia, becoming the largest land invasion at the time, until being surpassed several months later when Global Liberation Bloc forces landed in northern coast of Layask, with over 11 million soldiers. At the start of the war, the Continental Pact fought against the Coalition and briefly against the Global Liberation Bloc, however they signed a truce with the Global Liberation Bloc, and later completely joined the alliance after the Treaty of Zborbya in 1922. During the war, the Coalition conquered most of the southern hemisphere and the continents of Cabokus and Parmeli, and managed to control the western areas of Arnuu and southern Finolia, before suffering several crucial defeats at the Battle of the Edisti River and the Second Battle of Edistonia. After the landings in Layask, Global Liberation Bloc forces pushed southward, beginning the Southern Offensive. 
The Southern Offensive concluded after the first atomic bomb was dropped on Nortoli, the capital city of Layask, forcing the surrender of Layask and the implementation of the Treaty of Katoni. The war in the Western Front ended after two more atomic bombings in the cities of Échiniya and Takto, and the surrender of the Kingdom of Hénira. The war finally concluded on 1 February 1925, after both sides agreed to the Treaty of Sébo, indirectly starting the Post-war Tensions and the Imperiyan Cold War.
Aircraft and armoured vehicles became widespread for the first time during the war, playing a major role in warfare globally. The inventions of guided missiles, aircraft carriers, and the atomic bomb by the Finolians, rocket-propelled artillery by the Hénirans, and super-heavy armoured vehicles by the Layaskis, led to scientific and military breakthroughs in technology and science, generally used to achieve a military advantage during the war. 
== Chronology ==
The war is generally considered to have begun on 6 April, 1922, after the Kingdom of Hénira invaded the State of Bulphi and its allies because of a border conflict between the two. The official Finolian entrance into the war is considered to be during Operation Eradicate, the attempted Coalition invasion of the Finolian mainland.
