The **Nine Years' War** (9YW), also known as the Global War, was a series of military conflicts lasting from 1951-1960 and involving the majority of the world's powers. Eighty million people have been estimated to have died in the war, completely changing modern geopolitics.

## Belligerents

The war was primarily fought between the International Coalition or "Coalition" for short and the Axis of Cooperation (Coaxis), and was fought in various theatres around the world. Some of the largest battles were fought within East Ikuna, the Sea of Markaz, and the Sura Mountains.

## Causes

The war was caused by a variety of factors, including the gradual formation of the two main factions, the Coalition and Coaxis. The Coalition consisted of Libion, Bazia, the Nulu Republics, the Alliance of the Orient, Ebura, and the Metillic Empire. The Coaxis consisted of Carparia, the GOT, Suseva, Silang'guba, Rekklia, Kreicia, and Khavaria as well as Dafabsid and Danellia as co-belligerents. The largest battles were between Libion, Bazia, and the Technocracy in the Sura and Beshurek Mountains, Carparia, Libion, and Danellia in the Markaz Sea, Libion, the Nulu Republics, and Khavaria in Drua, and SIlang'guba, Pataga, Suseva, and the GPR in East Ikuna.

## Prelude

Although the war officially started on 3.August.1951, there were numerous factors previously leading up to the war. The two main factors are often said to be Rector Khunaman's coup d'etát which saw the establishment of the Greater Ohuryean Technocracy in 1950, and the war between Kreicia and the Metillic Empire in 1950-53. Both of these factors are said to have made the alliances that would eventually cause the 9YW.

In the Technocratic Uprising of 1950, Carparia, Suseva, Rekklia, and Silang'guba supported the revolution, while Bazia, Federation of Libion, Metillic Empire, and the nations of the Alliance of the Orient all strongly opposed the revolution. This laid the groundwork for the alliances that would become the Coalition and Coaxis. In 1950, when the Kreicia-Metillic War broke out, Kreicia was supported by the Coaxis forces-- now joined by the newly formed Greater Ohuryean Technocracy and the Khavar Confederation. Meanwhile, the Metillic Empire was supported by the Coalition forces, now joined by the Nulu Republics.

## The Conflict (1951-1960)

### Beginning and Escalation (1951-53)

The Krecia-Metillic War began a year prior to the war on 14 September 1950 and is sometimes considered the offset of the war. However, the war is conventionally said to have begun on 18 April 1951 following the combined Susevan-Rekklian invasion of the Greater Palantine Republic. Libion saw this as an act against the International Coalition and declared war against Suseva and Rekklia on 21 April 1951. Bazia and Ebura declared war on 24 and 25 of April, respectively. However, this caused Khavaria and Carparia to declare war on the Federation and Alliance of the Orient on 27 April. Libion declared war on Krecia on 1 May to defend its ally, the Metillic Empire, who had been fighting with Krecia for seven months. The Greater Ohuryean Technocracy and Krecia declared war on the Coalition on 3 May. The Nulu Republics joined the war on 12 June 1952. Danellia joined the Coaxis as a co-belligerent in August 1952, and Silang'guba joined on March 3, 1953.

#### Invasion of Pataga

Silang’guba very quickly managed to invade Pataga at the beginning of the war, even laying siege to Haala Kamuti. This seige began on 17 August, 1954, and the city was encircled on 3 December the same year. The city however managed to hold out until forces from the 23rd division poured in from the east, and the city was conquered on 6 May, 1955. Pataga continued to fight, but most of the army retreated to the northern border with neutral Ahtalstan, where they managed to hold out until they finally surrendered on 12 November, 1958.

#### Invasion of Krapati

Once most of southern Pataga had been occupied, Silang’guba and Rekklia launched a joint invasion into southern Krapati, with 88,000 troops, crossing the border on 5 February, 1956, but this front quickly became a stalemate, this stalemate would not be broken until 18 March, 1958, when the 44th Rekklian division penetrated through the opposing defences, and quickly swept through northern Krapati, until the country surrendered a few months afterwards on 29 June, 1958.

### West Ikuna Theater

In May of 1952, 40,000 Bazian troops crossed the border into Magudaria, and would push far into the country. This control reached it’s greatest extent on 7 August, 1955, when they occupied roughy the northern third of the country. However, in 1956, as the South Ikuni front got deadlier, many of these troops were relocated to Ebura, and Bazia lost most of their occupied lands. Eventually, they began to be pushed back by troops being seng north from Carparia around 1957, and they would ultimately surrender on 3 January, 1960.

## Aftermath

After nine years and an estimated eighty million casualties, the war ended as the Coaltion surrendered to the Coaxis. The future of the world was decided at the Osktel Accords in Ahtalstan. However, the war is often considered to have major victories for both sides. For example, on the Coaxis's side, the Technocracy government was allowed to remain, Kreicia defeated the Metillic Empire, and Carparia secured its independence. On the Coalition's side, Libion and Bazia both annexed territory from Khavaria and Danellia, respectively, and most nations in the Coalition recieved war reparation money from the Coaxis powers.

Unfortunately, the world today is still somewhat divided into two factions. While regions such as East Ikuna and Drua have worked to cooperate and have a sense of unity, relations with certain countries in opposing factions have been bitter since the war ended, if not worse. This is most notable with countries such as the Technocracy and Carparia's mutual animosity shared with the Federation.

## Conflicts

Though the military conflicts of this period are generally all seen as one war, the war is better divided into four separate wars, with the different nations involved all supporting each other across the wars. These are the Great Druan War, the Kreicia-Metillic War, the Great Oriental War, and the Seventh Western War. The two sides on the war are the loose alliances of support known as the International Coalition and the Axis of Cooperation. Neither side is said to have won all four wars.
