Despite the newfound relations with Kiravia and Caphiria, Tierrador remained neutral during the [[First Great War]], which lasted from 1896 to 1902. Many Tierradorians felt that the country had an obligation to fight alongside its allies, however, Woqala Saku was firm on her stance that armed conflict with global powers, especially given the domestic situations at the time (i.e. Insurgencies in the western regions, skirmishes in [[Winnecomac]], and illicit trading from the Auqali Republic), was not needed or wanted by the Woqalate. This angered many Tierradorian residents, many of which began to show their already-high frustrations with the House of Woqelee. Benito Cruz-Morales, the fourth governor of the Republic of Auqali & Sonaxa, saw this as an opportunity to begin integrating surrounding areas into the Auqali regime. The heightened trade of illicit substances, such as [[copium]], [[loreium]], marijuana, and cocaine, began to raise suspicions from the Imperial Government back in Qabór. In 1907, Saku established the [[Imports and Exports Regulation Authority]] (IERA). The IERA's main purpose was to control any products or items imported into the Woqalate, in order to deter and eventually reduce illegal activity across Tierradorian borders. Despite this, drug mafias funded by the Auqali Republic managed to bypass the heightened border security with Tierrador through guerrilla tactics and careful placement of illegal goods in their modes of transporation. This would begin a domino effect which culminated in the [[1909 Čahaaga checkpoint incident]], in which IERA agents were captured and held hostage at the border checkpoint near [[Čahaaga, Auqali]]. The following year, on February 7, 1910, Saku would declare war on Auqali & Sonaxa. Much similar to the Invasion of Arrecife almost twenty years prior, the invasion was swift, with the Auqali Army being overwhelmed by the intense and clever guerrilla tactics of the Tierrador Armed Forces. On January 31, 1911, Auqali and Sonaxa were annexed by the Tierradorian Woqalate. Despite the swift victory, Tierrador still experienced mass casualties, causing outrage against Saku and the House of Woqelee. Civil unrest occurred across several Tierradorian major cities, with lower and middle class Tierradorians determined to take down the House of Woqelee. On October 3, 1911, two hundred Armed Forces personnel, led by former Qabóri Guard sergeant [[Auno Sanléc]], led a coup d'etat against the House of Woqelee. They stormed the Woqelee Palace in Qabór, where the members of the House of Woqelee members were forced out of the Palace and exiled to [[Republic of | Despite the newfound relations with Kiravia and Caphiria, Tierrador remained neutral during the [[First Great War]], which lasted from 1896 to 1902.

Sanléc's reign was regarded as "uneventful," as no major global events that involved Tierrador took place during his reign as High Woqalo. One of the most notable policies implemented by Sanléc included the [[Tierradorian land reforms (1923–1963|various land reforms]] that he signed into effect via [[Crown Order]]. The reforms would last for forty years and saw the beginning of agricultural subsidies. The continued support for these policies throughout Walakee Tierrador earned the ruling dynasty the nickname "the Farming Dynasty," due to the agriculture-focused policies enacted throughout the 20th century. On April 6, 1931, Sanléc suffered a near-fatal heart attack, and was temporarily removed from the throne in order to give him time to recover. In his place was [[Home Office|Home Officer]] [[Nathan Krauža]]. Krauža had garnered a reputation of being "Tierrador-first," encouraging many to consider whether they are benefitting the Woqalate, which had led many to believe that Krauža would be selected as the successor should Sanléc die. However, when Sanléc suffered a second heart attack and was on the brink of death, he announced that the throne would be given to his daughter, [[Satola Sanléc]], rather than Krauža. Enraged, Krauža punched the High Woqalo in the chest, triggering a third heart attack, killing him immediately. After this incident, Krauža was arrested by the Woqalate Guard and sentenced to life in prison. | ||
High Woqala Satola Sanléc ascended to the throne as the second monarch of the Walakee Dynasty in 1931, at the beginning of a pivotal time throughout Tierrador's history. During her reign, the presence of Tierrador on the international stage grew exponentially, boosting the nation's economy. Despite this, Sanléc's administration began outlawing certain media outlets, due to their continued criticism of the House of Walakee. One of these outlets included the Kiravian-based [[List of Kiravian news outlets#South Crona Morning Post|South Crona Morning Post]], which had began radio broadcasts throughout Tierrador in 1934. This would soon pave the way into political censorship, where any statement from an opposition party had to be proofread by the House of Walakee, which often resulted in heavy redactions, causing confusion amongst those party's supporters. Sanléc expressed the importance of a unified Tierrador in a 1936 speech, which was dubbed the "Tierradorian Promise speech". | High Woqala Satola Sanléc ascended to the throne as the second monarch of the Walakee Dynasty in 1931, at the beginning of a pivotal time throughout Tierrador's history.
