Overview

The continent's own "World War 1" — not named as such until World War 2 begins decades later. Fought 1914-1918, sparked by an industrially-rebuilt Ros invading five neighboring states.

• Instigator: Ros — under a new Chancellor who spent nearly two decades rebuilding its military into the strongest on the east coast, second only to the Empire's.
• Defenders: Peplle (invaded, its industries devastated early), joined by the Empire, several northern nations, and many nations around Peplle.
• Key non-combatant profiteer: Jonesboro/LMT — declared neutrality, then openly supplied all sides fighting Ros with weapons, food, medicine, and equipment at premium prices, becoming the war's logistics hub via its railroad through Peplle.
• Outcome: Ros collapses in March 1918, divided into Ros and Rose', with territory redistributed to the five invaded nations. This directly leads to the founding of the Eastern United Nations (1919) and Northern United Nations (1922).
