Great War (Superpowers)

The Great War (the First World War) was a world spanning conflict between all of the world's great powers at the time, all of which were part of the CCA and the AA. This war was the greatest conflict in history up to that point, and was also the war with one of the greatest losses of life in all of history. In total, 41 million soldiers were mobilized by all sides, of which 22 million never returned home. All sides devoted their entire productive and researching capabilities into fighting this war, putting the world's nations into a state of total war.

The immediate cause of war was the sacrifice on 1 August 1679 of Emperor Alexander IX of Rome, by the Mayan people. This of course prompted the Romans to declare war, and so alliances on both sides were activated. The Mongols, Ottomans and Danes of the AA declared war on the Roman Empire, and so the Muscovites, the UCC, the Incans and the Khmerians of the CCA declared war on the nations of the AA.
