First Continental War

The First Continental War, also known as the Great War of 1779, was an intercontinental war that spanned in three continents: Magna Terras, Camporus and the Eastern Continent. The war originated in Magna Terras that lasted from December 1779 to November 1784.

The war was triggered by the outbreak of hostilities from Mologia and Mirvania which began from the Rictuvian Revolution and the subsequent Rictuvian Civil War. Following the defeat of the Verdictine Empire in the revolution, its allies were angered by the intervention of Mirvania and Auxonz.

Origin
Relations between Mologia and Mirvania worsened after their intervention in the Rictuvian Revolution and their assistance to the Rictuvian Republic during the Rictuvian Civil War. Mologia, believing that Mirvania helps Rictuvia only because of its best interests and would eventually control Rictuvia as a puppet state, prepared to engage Mirvania into another war.

Mologian forces preemptively struck Western Mirvania on early December 1779 but was slowed down by a series of battles. The dire situation was bitterly received by the Mirvanian crown and caused a massive uproar across Magna Terras. Mirvania requested help from its neighbors with only Auxonz answering to the call.

Rictuvia, still recovering from the scars of a previous civil war, remained neutral for the early parts of the war, until the Verdictine-Yrvaincais Invasion of Rictuvia on 1780. Assisted by the Kola-Voska Union, the invasion was repelled and both countries joined the newly formed Coalition against the also newly established Grand Alliance.

War in Camporus
Due to Yabolova-Kassel's political involvement with the Grand Alliance, particularly with the Verdictine Empire, a few Betelguxian states joined the war on the Grand Alliance's side.

This also stirred conflict in Camporus due to the majority of the Camporian nations cautious that this action might lead into the Betelguxian states invading the whole Camporus as well. The early years of the war saw the Camporian countries except the Betelguxian states steering clear from the war and keeping neutral.
