The Global War, or the Second World War (Latin: Bellum Mundum) was a global military conflict involving all the existing nations of the world at the time. The conflict was primarily fought between two rival factions : the technologically superior Global Powers, and the numerically superior group formed by most of the remaining world nations, the Allied Coalition. It was the most widespread war in human history, with over 250 million military personnel mobilized by all sides across the world. The resulting devastation led to nearly half of those men dying, along with an additional 180 to 220 million civilians dead from collateral damage. Over 60% of the dead were part of the Allied Coalition, and most of those nations were left absolutely devastated following the war.

| - The Global War, or the Second World War (Latin: Bellum Mundum) was a global military conflict involving all the existing nations of the world at the time. The conflict was primarily fought between two rival factions : the technologically superior Global Powers, and the numerically superior group formed by most of the remaining world nations, the Allied Coalition. It was the most widespread war in human history, with over 250 million military personnel mobilized by all sides across the world. The resulting devastation led to nearly half of those men dying, along with an additional 180 to 220 million civilians dead from collateral damage. Over 60% of the dead were part of the Allied Coalition, and most of those nations were left absolutely devastated following the war. Though many historians cite this conflict as a real example of a state of "Total War", that is in fact a misnomer. The nations of the Global Powers actually functioned normally and only had to have a substantial amount of government funding spent on the war. Most of the members of the Allied Coalitions on the other hand devoted virtually all of their capabilities possible into the war effort, as the sheer numbers of their populations was their only advantage. The war was sparked by anti-expansionist sentiment within the nations opposed to the three "World Powers" at the time, the Empire, the Conglomerate and the Shogunate. Conversely, many of the Coalition nations secretly wished to expand their own territories and the easiest way to accomplish this was through war. When both sides created military alliances against the other, something was bound the break. Due to the immense advantage held by the Global Powers, the Coalition was forced into making a preemptive strike against the Powers on December 25, 1929. This act definitively marked the outbreak of the war.
