The Ethalrian armed forces played a key role in establishing the Ethalrian Empire as a prepotent world power in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries. It was defeated by the [[Morstaybishlian Empire]] in the [[Posolic Wars]] and the Ethalrian Empire signed a conditional surrender in the Treaty of Rosalica. [[File:NE parade 2022.png|right|thumb|300px|103rd Infantry Division during the Founding Marches.]] For eighty years Ethalria was out as a world power but managed to stay relevant with pioneering military advances, such as repeating rifles with smokeless powder and early contributions to telegraphic battlefield communication. The [[Great War]] prompted quick development of military equipment; the [[Wikipedia:7.7 cm FK 96 n.A.|7.7 cm FK 96 n.A.]] was the first and [[Wikipedia:7.7 cm FK 16|7.7 cm FK 16]] the last artillery pieces Ethalria developed; they also pioneered automatic small arms like the [[Wikipedia:MP 18|MP 17]] at the end of the war. Ethalria was the first in Aurora to develop airplanes and tanks.

The first nuclear detonation was conducted in 1953 by Ethalria in the [[Azure Sea]]. It was a [[Wikipedia:Nuclear_weapon_design#Implosion-type|implosion-type]] [[Wikipedia:Plutonium|plutonium]] device codenamed ''Scharlachrote Morgenröte''. In the 1970s, Ethalria's Wulesberg Project was a top secret development of a nuclear-capable satellite bombardment weapon codenamed ''Höllenfeuer'' (literally meaning Hellfire) that would pave the way for the weaponisation of space. It was due to launch on 1 February 1975 with the intent to obliterate [[Sani Bursil]] but Ethalria surrendered after ''Kevatuul'', [[Norograd|Noroist Axdel's]] own nuclear-capable satellite was comandeered by a Morst-Embertian black op mission and laid nuclear siege to Ribenstadt, Karinthus, Glitzernd, Rorikton and Wulesberg; the destruction of Wulesberg effectively ended the Wulesberg Project. Following the [[Auroran Imperial War]], the Ethalrian Republic committed to nuclear disarmament whilst the Ethalrian Matriarchy did not. Due to a policy of nuclear disarmanent of the [[Ethalns]] by [[Great Morstaybishlia|Morstaybishlia]] following the [[Auroran-Pacific War]], North Ethalria inherited no nuclear weapons.

Today, North Ethalria's military technology is expanded upon by the blueprints and works of both Ethalria's that preceded it. The Howitzer I is the main battle tank; the army utilises an array of armoured fighting vehicles like the [[Wikipedia:FNSS Pars|Großerlöwe]], [[Wikipedia:M110 howitzer|M110 howitzer]], [[Wikipedia:Mowag Piranha|Panzerjäger]] and [[Wikipedia:9K35 Strela-10|Königskobra-5]]. The [[Wikipedia: Streyr AUG|Pfeil AUG]] is the standard issue assault rifle and [[Wikipedia:Axdel Armed Forces#Small Arms|Alkurmeda AP-1]] the standard issue pistol.
