The Great War, sometimes referred to as World War One, the First World War, or abbreviated as WWI or WW1, was the largest global conflict in history that took place between 2409 and 2425 involving the two major global alliances: the Organisation of Free Nations, and the Global Defence Initiative. The war resulted in over 4 million deaths.

Upon the backdrop of further instability and a worsening war situation for everybody, a Kiavalari diplomat named Clemenceau Richelieu worked to gather the influential Lord-General Sevatar Castlereagh and the Ionaean diplomat Taruka Chamba in order to broker some sort of peace deal. Other foreign ministries were contacted. Orlovsky, the Ceironian diplomat, requests that members of the OFN and GDI come to Latango for an initial feast of peace and a treaty to be drafted to end the global conflict.

The first idea of peace was suggested by the Ciyugan foreign ministry who requested a white peace to maintain a balance of power. They were concerned that weakening one side over the other could lead to future conflicts in the future where one side would dominate the other and win world hegemony. All parties agreed that a peace should be long lasting and permanent and provide the spark for greater relationships worldwide. Richelieu simply stated that, "As long as you have your current officer corps and loyal followers behind you, you can demand as you please - I know that it will be very different for you when that is no longer the case".

The Ceironian diplomat was the first to lay out their full demands. He requested that certain tracts of land in Ciyuga be ceded to both Ruskvy and Ceironia; at least 5 billion krones in reparations be paid from Ionaea; all 600,000 prisoners of wars from East Heboi be returned in a civil manner, and that any evidence of abuse would be taken seriously; and that Suton cede back East Heboi to Ceironia, in turn to be given to the United Republic (excluding the northern islands in the archipelago which would remain Ceironian).

Lunidor initially pitched just the transfer of a tract of land on the coast of Ciyuga be ceded to them, however after talking to Richelieu, they retracted their claims. The Ladros foreign minister actually expressed interest in a peace deal with Ceironia and Fazar, but could never forgive Valar. There was intense arguing between both Richelieu, a Kiavalari, and the Ladrosian for nearly an hour. This included a laughable peace negotiation from Ladros where they seriously requested being granted half of Valar's territory.

Cralas indicated it's openness to a treaty and requested 50 billion krones in reparations from Ionaea and a further 300 billion from Suton. After further disruptions from Ladros, Richelieu eventually worked with the rest of the foreign ministries to avoid their bogus and insane requests.
