World War I

CAUSES
The First World War had a variety of causes, the predominate cause being the First Cold War that preceded it. As the PWE and GK slowly soured their relations, the threat of war finally came to a head in 23, when the GK declared war against the PWE.

20s
The 20s were a period of grueling trench warfare, with at least 10 million casualties. The Federation of Aerok joined West Eirikur against the Tripartite Pact, but had the most intense bombing campaign against them and they surrendered almost immediately, joining the Tripartite Pact and renaming it to the Quadratic Pact.

30s
The 30s were a period of loss for the Quadratic Pact as Eirikur troops managed to push back Quadratic forces in West Eirikur and Forkrife joined the war against the QP. However, in the late 30s, Forkrife surrendered to the QP facing imminent destruction and signed a declaration of war (somewhat forcefully) against West Eirikur. Seeing the war as lost, WE began to sign treaties of surrender.

40s
In year 42 negotiations began to end the war and in 43, the Treaty of Toma officially ended the First World War and charted border changes, however few there were. Surprisingly, the GK decided not to take land and tried to begin mending the torn relations with West Eirikur.

Death Count
Several documentations have been made, but the consensus on the total death count is around 50 million. The GK state of Germany stated that 30 million had died in the first decade, but could not decide for the 30s. The GK's official estimate is placed at 65 million, with West Eirikur's at 80 million, which is disputed to be vastly overstated in order to cause reaction to the GK.

Nearly 10% of West Eirikur's 200 million population died, 5% of Aerok's, 1% of the GK's, 4% of Forkrife, and less than 0.05% for Piperi and Glubia.
