The Copper War (sometimes referred to as the Great War) was a wide-reaching global military conflict that lasted from 4602 CY to 4607 CY. It was a result of mounting tensions between the major world powers of the time. It led to the mobilisation of X million military personel and is the single deadliest conflict in history, with an estimated X million combatant deaths and X million civilian deaths as a direct result of the war. The war would see the first large scale use of machine and trench warfare, making the war a slow and brutal affair that would see the nations in the war pushed to their economic limits. The middle of the 46th century would see great technological progress becoming commonplace across North Yazland and the world. Developments of new military technologies which relied on copper as a main component began an arms race between the various powers of Yazland and a desire to hold control over the international copper trade. This came to a breaking point in 4602 CY, when a dispute over privateering between Chiöq, Dhimrai, Tschintiessteiss, and Wadiin would cause Dhimrai to declare war on TSC.

Background

With the development of new military technologies in the 4Xth century—such as Tanks, Landships, and Airships—the demand for the copper necessary to construct these machines would skyrocket. Causing countries to rush towards whatever sources of copper they could find. This race to control the copper trade would affect the countries of Dhimrai and Tschintiessteiss in particular, as the copper-rich TSC would attempt to prevent Dhimze from gaining any share in the copper market. The two powers would engage in a large-scale proxy trade war, manipulating and negotiating with foreign powers to give a disadvantage to the other in the market. Principally, these two would find allies in Huo, TSC primarily with Chiöq and Dhimrai primarily with Wadiin. The two kingdoms controlled colonial empires in Huo and Jarruunh, in which they’d extract copper to fund their own arms and to sell to other powers.
