Line 49:
The Grand Republic called many heads of states of other countries to suggest the declaration of an official alliance between countries sharing the same ideologies in order to resist against oppressors - emphasising co-operation among Alaxia. This alliance specifically would be about sharing advanced technology, providing financial aid, and using the same currency.
By 2287, Lothyran was seen as the most powerful country in the world at the loss of nearly 900,000 men. The Lothyran language of the Grand Republic had stuck as the lingua franca between these countries.
=== Second coalition ===
{{Main|War of the Second Coalition}}
[[File:Beletharian War second coalition.png|border|right|frameless]]
With the dissolution of the first coalition, the rest of the world was very worried that the Lothyran power would continue to invade neighbouring countries to depose monarchies or expand their empire. Starting in 2282, the Grand Republic had already began a campaign in Atlantia, in West Alaxia, to liberate them from their colonial oppressors. Thus, the second coalition spearheaded by the Acorian country of Ceironia, the Qateshi country of Ionaea, and the East Alaxian countries of Kusfeld, Ahitereira, and Karkuss formed.
By late 2289, southeast Alaxia had fallen with mixed Azyeri-Lothyran commander Ralda forcing Ahitereira, Kusfeld, and Karkuss to accept humiliating treaties as they fell under the weight of the Grand Peoples Army of 400,000 men under the Grand Legion. The RPA, a mercenary group, joined the ranks of Lothyran, and helped them wage a western front against the island country of Ceironia, and the Ionaean empire to the northwest.
The Battle of Salans taking place in the Atlantian peninsula in 2294, was one of the bloodiest battles of the entire war. Although the Lothyran grand republic was far stronger and better equipped, the Ionaeans had trapped them in the peninsula without any way of reinforcement or escape. Therefore, the entire Lothyran army clashed against the Ionaean army in a large charge. Hundreds of thousands died. Because of the horrific loss of life, the Inoaean Kanen Illin (Queen) Arya agreed to a duel with Lothyran Chancellor Beleth himself. They fought for only 6 minutes, by the sword, and Beleth arose from the battle with a slash on his chest and a bloody sword in the air - Arya had been killed. The Ionaeans soon pulled out of Lothyran. With the withdrawal of Ionaea, Alaxia was truly free. No more Kings could dare defy the might of the people. Despite the victory, Beleth soon after died from his own wounds - leaving the political landscape totally different.
=== Calm After the Storm ===
Throughout 2307, Lothyran heavily expanded its armed forces. Lothyran rasied 100,000 men from the mainland to stabilise public orders and put them as reserve forces. Another 150,000 men were to be trained as professional standing force army for emergency situations and were stationed in the Eulea Frontier along with newly constructed star forts. 10,000 men from each puppet were pulled aswell.
Despite control falling in certain areas, particularly those across the sea, the Lothyran Republic continued to exert significant control over nearby vessels well into the 2300s and past Beleth's death. The Lothyran style of administration had stuck, with many revolutions following in his footsteps, and constitutions, parties, and limited democracy becoming popular. Many look back on Beleth as a hero and of the republic as better under his control.
=== Third coalition ===
