The Second World War was a global conflict lasting from 1902 to 1908 between two rival coalitions - the Quintuple Alliance led by Albion, Saxony, Africa, Aquitaine and Romania; and the Imperial League led by Lyonesse, Lithuania and New Arvor. These alliances expanded as the war progressed, eventually drawing in all of the world's great powers. Ultimately more than 100 million soldiers were mobilised in what was until then the largest war in history.
