The 20th century is considered the "last" century of violence for Burgundie. It saw the nation engulfed in numerous sprawling, global, total war conflicts that lasted at least a decade a piece with very little to show for either. It saw the end of military interventionism as an instrument of diplomacy that would be accepted by the Burgoignesc public.

19th century
Le Gran Siecle "the Grand Century" this is when Burgundie unified and became a modern nation and began to fight in larger squabbles than it previously was capable of engaging in. Many of the dress uniforms and military traditions of the Burgoignesc Security Forces are from this time.
