The '''East-West Global War''', known in Chlouvānem as the '''War for Cleanliness''' (''blautamita nali saṃrasta'' - in common speech simply "the War" (''saṃrasta'')) officially began with the Chlouvānem Inquisition's invasion of Kalo across the Ynvys Pass on 6323 (37ᘔƐ<sub>12</sub>), 22 uṣraumaṇai. In a night-time operation, a column of about a hundred tanks had crossed from Listord to Kalo, mainly through Ynvys but also through the neighboring Kedve and Pysmog passes. The small hamlet of Ysotor Nys on the road from Kedve pass was the first place to be conquered by the Chlouvānem forces, and in the early morning troops were parachuted outside the city of Nornog, the main city of Eastern Kalo, located at the foothills of the Ynvys Pass, some 30 km from its tip. Like most of Evandor, Kalo had just finished a few months before a long war (the Second Spocian War on Evandor) and the "safer" Eastern areas were not as protected as the rest of the country, which had anyway lots of internal problems due to the extended wars; even if a Chlouvānem threat had been considered, no action had been taken because it was thought of as a remote possibility. Nornog fell in less than two hours and the ever-increasing invasion forces quickly spread across Kalo, aided by the beginnings of spring. It took fourteen days for the Chlouvānem days to take over all of the country. | The '''East-West Global War''', known in Chlouvānem as the '''War for Cleanliness''' (''blautamita nali saṃrasta'' - in common speech simply "the War" (''saṃrasta'')) officially began with the Chlouvānem Inquisition's invasion of Kalo across the Ynvys Pass on 6323 (37ᘔƐ<sub>12</sub>), 22 uṣraumaṇai.

During the easy invasion and conquest of Kalo, neighboring countries started looking worried at the Chlouvānem forces, but their much lesser military power ultimately stood no chance when their invasion began; in the meantime, the Chlouvānem got an easy ally in Evandor: in Holenagika, militar and revolutionary leader Uiskehg Ohdsqoaihd ([ˈuʃkeː ˈojsqɔj], also known by its Chlouvānemized name Khadmāñcāvi Otskhåda ''Uškē'') , member of the local Yunyalīlti minority, had taken power three months before, and his regime immediately sided with the Chlouvānem; as the Holenagic people were the only one in Evandor to have a Yunyalīlti part, the government propaganda centered on this to proclaim the superiority of Holenagika on all other neighboring countries; this helped Ohdsqoaihd to gain also the support of the nationalists, as the Yunyalīlti minority was no large than 6% of the population. The Holenagic forces made landfall on the continent, in Bénia, which prompted a declaration of war by Ceria and Nordúlik - despite active protest in both countries, as they were the strongest but also the most hard hit by the (victorious) war against Spocius - against the northern Evandorian country; two days later, on 1Ɛ | During the easy invasion and conquest of Kalo, neighboring countries started looking worried at the Chlouvānem forces, but their much lesser military power ultimately stood no chance when their invasion began; in the meantime, the Chlouvānem got an easy ally in Evandor: in Holenagika, militar and revolutionary leader Uiskehg Ohdsqoaihd ([ˈuʃkeː ˈojsqɔj], also known by its Chlouvānemized name Khadmāñcāvi Otskhåda ''Uškē'') , member of the local Yunyalīlti minority, had taken power three months before, and his regime immediately sided with the Chlouvānem; as the Holenagic people were the only one in Evandor to have a Yunyalīlti part, the government propaganda centered on this to proclaim the superiority of Holenagika on all other neighboring countries; this helped Ohdsqoaihd to gain also the support of the nationalists, as the Yunyalīlti minority was no large than 6% of the population.

Nordúlik and Ceria, while historically being enemy countries due to them being the two countries with the largest colonial empires, as allies proved to be a tough nut to crack for the somewhat underprepared Holenagic forces to the west and even for the better prepared Chlouvānem forces to the east. While the Chlouvānem managed in a few years to conquer large tracts of southern and southeastern Evandor (including all of Auralia, but failing to conquer all of Nivaren due to the better knowledge of the locals of the impervious mountainous terrain), and also the far northern country of Gathuráni (with invaluable help of the Holenagic forces, due to their far better preparation in cold climates), it took years for the Chlouvānem to break through the plains of Nordúlic to Ceria, and this phase of the war was marked by the most cruel war acts that ever happened on Calémere. On 6325 (37Ɛ1<sub>12</sub>), 7 gaulkāvi, the Chlouvānem forces tried to break through the hilly and densely populated Foškon valley in southern Nordúlik - one of the country's main industrial districts - and started a series of four chemical attacks that took place during the next five days, by spraying gas on the cities of Lešra, Frekuta, and Josubren, killing about 150,000 people. Less than a month later, on 1 mālutaivrai, the city of Hrejd in central Nordúlic, used as a base by the Chlouvānem, was reconquered by the Nordúlik forces after a series of bombings that ultimately went to kill more locals than Chlouvānem people. | Nordúlik and Ceria, while historically being enemy countries due to them being the two countries with the largest colonial empires, as allies proved to be a tough nut to crack for the somewhat underprepared Holenagic forces to the west and even for the better prepared Chlouvānem forces to the east.
