The '''War of the Caroline Succession''', sometimes called the '''First Caroline War''', was a conflict that involved most of the powers of the Holy Levantine Empire over the issue of King Leo IV of Urcea's succession in the Grand Duchy of Carolina, though by the conclusion of the first year of the war it became a general war over control of the Holy Levantine Empire. By the conclusion of the war, King Leo had routed the Imperial Army and was able to impose his will on the Empire, becoming Emperor and beginning a period of hereditary succession. Carolina would become part of Urcea and would remain so, with some interruptions, up until today. This conflict was the first of what became known as the Caroline Wars, which played a critical role in the development of modern Urcea as well as an important impetus in the decline of the Holy Levantine Empire.
