The Great Choujin War is a war that took place 70 years prior to the events depicted in the story and involved the entire world, leading to massive changes to societies, cultures and political entities for both Humans and Choujins,

## Description

The war started in 1920 when Quiem McMann, the president of the Great Guelta, declared war on the neighboring nations, conquering and absorbing them into an enormous commonwealth. This led to the outbreak of a world war where even Greater East Asia became involved and was later invaded by Guelta forces.

Guelta's army was made up of Choujins who had undergone military training and were enrolled in the regular army. Thanks to this and to Quiem's ​​experience, combined with his power which provided his forces with military technology decades ahead compared to other countries,

Guelta obtained a series of initial victories, subjugating the states of Trafico and Vanbelt, which were its direct neighbors. Having consolidated his power on the continent, Guelta crossed the Yellow Sea, landing in the Greater East Asia region and conquering the Iratis country. Using it as a foothold they expanded rapidly and by 1924 already controlled Yora, Hiroshi and Vitalia, which made up the central half of the region.

However, even if a Choujin can use **Raise**, returning to life cannot eliminate the intense feeling of pain and so battle after battle Quiem's ​​armies began to demoralize. Despite this, Guelta's leader continued his campaign, invading the northeastern province of Greater Asia: Antoland. Here his forces were repulsed by a counterattack led by Antitise, the Choujin Prince of Antoland, and were unsuccessful in taking his stronghold, leading to their retreat.

Pushed to their limits, Guelta's Choujins began to refuse to regenerate, preferring to die on the battlefields. Quiem only then realized the problem this posed for his army and changed tactics. His army was directed towards Yamato, a prefecture of Nanasu which housed a strategic resource: opium, which would allow the Choujin soldiers to feel no pain.

And so Guelta attempted to invade Nanasu from Yamato Prefecture. The plan was to take the Beast Isles and use them as a bridgehead for the rest of the region. However their plan to regroup in Nanasu and then return to face Antitise was not so simple as in the new region they found Sora Siruha blocking their way, and following a bloody battle, the attacking forces were repulsed by the Yamato Mori militias.

Guelta's Choujin X and his Yamato counterpart continued to clash for three years over all of Nanasu, until Quiem was forced to retreat. Following this campaign Sora and Antitise became allies, within the Volunteer Allied Forces. At some point Sora would erect a fortification in Daizo Island at the westernmost edge of Yamato and over the northern tip of Higo and cultivated a secret poppy crop for her use in the zone.

In 1927 Quiem was finally assassinated by Antitise, now a General of the Volunteer Allied Forces, but the war didn't stop as Choujin soldiers continued fighting and bringing destruction. However, Sora did not lay down her weapons and personally took charge of tracking down and eliminating the remaining violent Choujin groups, pushing herself to the limit. Already addicted to opium to eliminate **Raise**'s pain, she came to completely eliminate her sense of pain and consequently entered a state of permanent **Chaos**, losing her humanity.

The conflict eventually cooled down and in 1946 nations ceased to exist as self-governed prefectures were established.
