Since the beginning of the 20th Century, a large military buildup between the Velzen Empire and Grossya occurred. This alongside a multitude of confusing alliances and treaties between the Yueroki nations led to pre-war anxieties for most leaders. However, in 1912, Velzenia attacked Xeeri who had been a weak nation guaranteed by Grossya. With this invasion, Velzenia hoped to annex Western Xeeri in hopes of replacing the workers lost to the War for Freedom. Grossya came to Xeeri's aid due to having guaranteed their independence after the Pentan War in 1837. Alongside Grossya, Oipienta declared war against Velzenia as they too promised to protect Xeeri autonomy. In response, Velzenia called in her allies Livogora and Serfik as well as the obligatory treaties with Lower Oipienta and Vnarn Nuomdeim whom Velzenia guaranteed their autonomies. This prompted Oipienta and Grossya to call in their allies, with this being the Oipientian obligatory treaties with Liopo, the Republic of Nuomdeim, and Pilatsigla and with the Southern Alliance which included the Grossyan allies of Iti and Turroviq. Krilkot joined in June of 1913 on request of Velzenia with the Serpent's Bay Trade Agreement being referred to by the Imperial diplomats in the Aveci Summit of 1913.
Velzenia was able to conquer Xeeri and Pilatsigla and then Grossya with the aid of Livogora. However, Oipienta was able to quickly conquer Lower Oipienta and battled with Velzenia in Northern Velzenia for years leading to stagnant warfare. Krilkot and Oipienta engaged in massive naval battles in Bastard's Bay while the Greater Watav Region was engulfed in back and forth battles constantly switching between Iti and Turroviq against Serfik.
The 4th Hells War was devastating for Southern Yueroki, mostly for Lower Oipienta, Xeeri, and Velzenia. Large portions of farms were obliterated and many soldiers (potential workers) were killed, bringing the economic state of Velzenia into much faster collapse.
