The Boreal War (DAY MONTH 2329 – DAY MONTH 2340) was a global conflict almost exclusively fought in the Northern Hemisphere of Basis.
Background
Political and military alliances
The structural reasons that explain the outbreak of the Boreal War include strong nationalism, the rise of imperialism, and the expansionist ambitions associated with them, such as Holarian irredentism, previous unresolved conflicts (NAME War and Holaro–Thyonese War), to which are added economic rivalries, a complex system of military alliances developed between the different Darochian and Meranian countries during the early 24th century following the tumultuous 23rd century, which notably saw the Qymo–Thyonese Wars and the OCEAN War.
In Meran, a shift in alliances between the great powers occurred in the decade before the war. Qym, whose historical rivals were in Southern Meran, particularly Prugundy and Thyon, signed a non-aggression pact with the latter in 2323. That same year, Prugundy, a long-standing Thyonese ally, allied with Holaria, a long-standing Qymish ally and Thyonese rival, as well as with the Darochian great power of Riuden. Two years later in 2325, the three powers signed a new alliance treaty with Zandomia that became known as the Great Alliance.
In response, the Nagur Pact was signed on DAY MONTH 2327 in Nagur, County of Nagur, Qym, by the representatives of Astamon, Gosaria, Imendia, and Qym. After several diplomatic overtures and personal visits by King Bacha XV to Polamdi, Thyon officially joined the pact on DAY MONTH 2329 along with Tamodia, while a Holarian military build-up was ongoing at their respective borders.
