The Third Caroline War was a conflict between Urcea and members of the Holy Levantine Empire from Dericania over the continued independence of the Grand Duchy of Carolina. Acquired by Urcea during the War of the Caroline Succession and separated from it after the Second Caroline War, Urcea's definitive triumph in the Third Caroline War ended the Caroline Wars and permanently joined Carolina to Urcea. During the war, the liberal reforms of King Aedanicus VIII of Urcea proved effective in strengthening the Urcean nation, and the Royal Army, allowing it to assume a dominating position in Levantia. During the war, Corcra was sacked for the only time in its history, deepening the enmity between Urcea and the Holy Levantine Empire that characterized the 19th century in Catholic Levantia.

Following the conflict, the power vacuum created by withdrawing Royal Army and the chaos of war lead to the beginning of the First Fratricide. The successful conclusion of the war brought a full cultural revival to fruition in Urcea in the period known as the Aedanicad. Urcea's victory in the war was commemorated by its construction of the Caroline Arch in the late 1850s.
