The '''History of [[Urcea]] from 1902 to 1955''', sometimes called the '''Restoration Period''' consists of the time period between the restoration of [[House de Weluta]] in 1902 and the formation of the [[League of Nations]] in 1955 specifically but more generally the end of the [[Second Great War]] and beginning of the [[Occidental Cold War]]. This period was characterized by Urcea's participation in Levantine affairs for the first time since the end of the [[Second Caroline War]], culminating in its participation in the [[Second Great War]] from 1927 to 1953. During this period, Urcea became a globally recognized {{wp|superpower}}. The first several decades of this period saw Urcea in a period of reconstruction following the [[Red Interregnum]], while the remainder of it was consumed with the nation's involvement in the Great War. | The '''History of [[Urcea]] from 1902 to 1955''', sometimes called the '''Restoration Period''' consists of the time period between the restoration of [[House de Weluta]] in 1902 and the formation of the [[League of Nations]] in 1955 specifically but more generally the end of the [[Second Great War]] and beginning of the [[Occidental Cold War]].

Urcea's performance in the [['97 Rising]] and [[First Great War]] was noted by most observers to be relatively poor, with both factions fighting using lackluster equipment with poor logistical support and antiquated tactics. [[Patrick III of Urcea|King Patrick III]] spent a considerable amount of time during the early restoration rebuilding the [[Royal Navy (Urcea)|Royal Navy]] such that by the 1920s the Navy was among the world's finest and also the most modern branch of the [[Armed Forces of the Apostolic Kingdom of Urcea|Urcean military]]. The [[Royal Air Force (Urcea)|Royal Air Fleet]] also remained relatively state of the art, but the newly rechristened [[Royal and Imperial Army (Urcea)|Royal and Imperial Army]] was woefully unequipped for another Great War, and most observers and policymakers in Urcea knew it. The newly elected Emperor Niall II knew that Urcea's ground forces would be called into some kind of action in [[Dericania]], and when - not if - that conflict came, he sought a significant reform to the Army to ensure it was ready for the next war. Consequently, the [[Government of Urcea]] spent considerable funds and effort bringing about army reform during the early 1920s. | |||
Urcea had been an early pioneer in the area of {{wp|military planning}}, logistics, and supply, [[History_of_Urcea_(1575-1798)#Army_reform|building a major supply hub in the 18th century]]. The Royal and Imperial Army was still largely reliant on the 18th century model of supply, one intended to provide for the nation's defense rather than power projection beyond its borders. The existing supply hub also only barely made use of railroads, instead primarily basing itself around the nation's rivers. A new series of depots and forts began construction in the early 1920s along commercial rail lines, including in the region of [[Transionia]], where the Army would likely be heavily deployed in the years to come. Many accomodations would need to be made for developments and technology and the requisite doctrinal changes that come with new technology. | |||
