===The Great War and Revolutions===
Entering into the 20th century saw the start of the global conflict known as [[The Great War]], known as well as the Great Catastrophe in modern day Fortuna. Due to the Aspirian Isles' geographical location being between the fighting powers, the islands inevitably was brought into the war. In order to remain having access to the Pacific Ocean, Packilvania quickly gained control of the islands of Toscani and most of Emili in the first few months. Fearing occupation as well, nobility and state leaders of Ancona and Emili agreed to
Inspired by the communist uprising in Packilvania following the end of the Great War, communist sentiment picked up on the isles, especially on the island of Toscani which gained the most contact with the mainland. The Earthquake of 1923 and the following tsunami made matters worse, causing immeasurable destruction to the Fortunan Archipelago and causing over 100,000 deaths and many more displaced. This period would then see immense suppression attempts by state leaders and the nobility as dissent continued to grow amongst the general population. It all came to a head on 2 April 1924 when during a strike of shipbuilders and port workers in Terine, law enforcement fired upon protesters, killing dozens. Known as the Shipbuilders Massacre, the protest in the city turned into an uprising as citizens of the city overthrew the city leaders after a week of bloody conflict. Inspired by the actions in Terine, uprisings across the island began to spread. Delfino Pane, an officer of the Toscanan Army, denounced his allegiance to the sitting prince and began using his forces to assist revolutionaries and push back loyalist troops. On 17 October 1924, revolutionary troops overran the Royal Palace of Toscani, forcing the royal family to flee to Ancona. Elsewhere on the Fortunan Archipelago, attempts at uprising were made, however state leaders were fully prepared and crushing dissent with an immediate crackdown. By 1925, the People's Republic of Toscani was formed as Delfino Pane serving as Head Secretary. In Eridani Theta, the state immediately collapsed following economic and social failure, beginning a long period of conflict that fueled speciest and nationalist movements.

====Bettering Foreign Relations====
As the major part of the Medium campaign was coming to an end, Fortuna focused further on involving themselves in the international community. This mainly included opening foreign relations with recognized nations around Urth and set up trade and military agreements with potential allies. Within Yasteria, Fortuna focused on setting up diplomatic relations with the neighbors they were at least neutral to. The largest bilateral connection in Yasteria was with Asendavia with both nations formally agreeing to a non-aggression pact. Another part of the world that Fortuna built up its connections with was in Aurora. Due to similar goals and political systems,
