=== Great War ===
Following the annexation of approximately fifty percent of Vachena's land area, Cartadania found it had entered a new stage of the world. Aligning itself with the ideals of southern Levantia through long-term allies, [[Burgundie]] and [[Urcea]], it quickly found itself in a less-than-ideal position if a conflict arose against it from Caphiria. The country's position made it particularly vulnerable during the Great War, especially considering its position between Caphiria and Vachena, who supported Caphiria. Thusly, Alahuela began setting up Forte Ataris, one of the largest Army bases in Cartadania. It positioned troops at the base on standby during the Second Vachena Crisis, at a point where Cartadania and Pelaxia were fearing invasion from Caphiria. As conflicts between Caphiria and Urcea ensued, Congress felt the need to eliminate any unnecessary threat, and in a period of about six weeks, fully surrounded Carolina and annexed the remaining portions of Vachena, ceasing the country's existence. In accordance with its historical agreements and views, however, Alahuela allowed Vachenans who wished to return to Caphiria to do so without issue. It was also at this time that Cartadania annexed the Caphirian province of Dacian, and the insular area of Dominica Sancta (See [[Santa Domenica]]), which it now shares with Pelaxia.
Following the annexation of approximately fifty percent of Vachena's land area, Cartadania found it had entered a new stage of the world. Aligning itself with the ideals of southern Levantia through long-term allies, [[Burgundie]] and [[Urcea]], it quickly found itself in a less-than-ideal position if a conflict arose against it from Caphiria. As conflicts between Caphiria and Urcea were starting to pick up, Congress felt the need to eliminate any unnecessary threat, and in a period of about six weeks, fully surrounded Carolina and annexed the remaining portions of Vachena, ceasing the country's existence. In accordance with its historical agreements and views, however, Alahuela allowed Vachenans who wished to return to Caphiria to do so without issue.
 
After the [[Red Interregnum]] broke out in [[Urcea]], and with the beginning of the Depression of 1900, which destabilized the [[Holy Levantine Empire]], Alahuela's worst fears were soon realized. Though Caphiria had not really retaliated against Cartadania's continued growth at the expense of its own territory, renewed enmity between Caphiria and Urcea posed a threat to Cartadania on its largest domestic front. With the annexation of Vachena having been some time past, Cartadania refocused its sights on Caphiria. Venceia's annexation of Veltorina was a strong catalyst in the Great War venturing to Sarpedon, and Cartadania's position made it particularly vulnerable during the Great War, especially considering its largest land border is that with Caphiria. Thusly, Alahuela began moving troops from Forte Ataris, one of the largest Army bases in Cartadania that had been established throughout the Vachena Crises. It positioned troops at other bases on standby during a period where Cartadania and Pelaxia were both fearing invasion from Caphiria. As an act of preemption, Alahuela and Albalitor found themselves strongly allied, despite prior historical issues, and allied themselves with Veltorina, completely condemning the annexation. Many of the Vachenans who remained in Cartadania for one reason or another found the stance of Alahuela hypocritical, as it had just previously annexed Vachena, and in a move that is almost ironic, Cartadania proceeded to annex the Caphirian province of Dacian that extended Caphiria from the Urlazian to the Kindreds, in conjunction with the insular area of Dominica Sancta (See [[Santa Domenica]]), which it now shares with Pelaxia.
