The events spanning from 1921 to 1928 have a variety of names. In Novoselic, it is the Weltkrieg. In France, La Tragédie. The Romans called it La Guerra Per L'Umanita - The War For Mankind.

On the 19th of September, 1921, Galeazzo Ciano, the High Count of Nuova Roma, sent detachments of troops all over the Mediterranean, focusing on the city of Venedig that the Novosels had stolen from them centuries prior. Automa and other experiments from Roman labs in Songhai were mobilised. The standing armies of Iberia and Songhai followed suit. The rest of the world was caught unaware, and a worldwide conflict had begun.
