The '''history of Dericania''' is primarily related to the history of [[Levantia]] as well as that of both [[Great Levantia]] and the [[Holy Levantine Empire]], the latter of which originated out of and was based in Dericania. While being home to a diverse number of southern Levantine peoples and ethnic groups, much of the history of Dericania in recent centuries has dealt with questions of [[Derian identity]], which became a primary driving factor in world history and was an underlying cause for both the [[Second Great War]] as well as the earlier establishment of [[Burgundie]] as an independent nation.

====Gallawa====
Gallawa was a large confederation of Christianized [[Gaelic people|Gaelic]] tribes and kingdoms that existed in the north of modern [[Dericania]] and south of modern [[Fiannria]] from the late 4th to 8th centuries AD. Gallawa was originally conceived as a loose alliance of Gaelic polities which had both broken into and settled [[Great Levantia]] from the north, those who had lived as foederati subjects in specific lands of Dericania, and a smaller number of mostly uncontacted tribes living in the hills and deep forested parts of northeaster Dericania. The alliance seems to have been intended as a means to consolidate Gaelic holdings in previously Great Levantine lands, but the alliance persisted beyond the latter's collapse. Gallawa supplanted Great Levantia as the major power in Dericania by around 450 AD, and its mandate switched from defensive to offensive, expanding its borders and incorporating other tribes under its sway by force of arms. Increasingly, the confederate nature of the alliance became centralized under the control of a family that would become known as the [[Conine dynasty]], who were responsible for leading Gallawa through the collapse of the Levantines.
Gallawa experienced a major population boom at the end of the 7th century and began rapid and aggressive expansion, particularly against the [[Latin League]] and [[Hištanšahr]], the latter with limited success. Following decades of skirmishing and raids, [[Conchobar I, Emperor of the Levantines|King Conchobar]] lead the armies of Gallawa west into [[The Valley (Urcea)|the former heartlands of Great Levantia]]. Although initial successes by the Latin League under the leadership of [[Saint Julius I|Gaius Julius Cicurinus]] slowed Gallawa's advance, his replacement by the Latin League resulted in its complete destruction as Gallawa overcame most of the Latinic cities in the Valley. Following his peaceful seizure of [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]], Conchobar reformed Gallawa into the [[Holy Levantine Empire|Levantine Empire]], which would be ruled by the Conine dynasty for the next century and a half.
