Westenlands Wars

The Westenlands Wars, or the Altirusian Warring States Period, refers to a period between 523 and 545 marked by sociopolitical upheaval and military conflict in Altirus, particularly the Westenlands region, though it would also have a notable impact on the rest of the world. The term is also used to refer to the armed conflicts which marked the period. Its principle result came in the form of territorial changes and official recognition of many smaller nations in the Westenlands, the Partitioning of the Westenlands, and the official end of the legitimacy of the Altirusian Monarchy. The Westenlands Wars are held to have set the stage for the modern geopolitical landscape of Altirus.

The Great Alliances' War is also considered to have been a part of the Westenlands Wars, though the inverse is also argued, suggesting that the Westenlands Wars were part of the Great Alliances' War.
