The Two Hundred Years' War (二百年戦争/Ni-Hyakunen Senso) (1914 – 2123INO/3631 – 3840PCZ) was a roughly two-century period in Fuso history following the collapse of the Jushi Okoku Jidai (十四王国時代/Fourteen Kingdoms Period) and ending with the full establishment of the Empire of Yamatai.

The Ni-Hyakunen Senso is traditionally divided into three periods:

• Sengoku Jidai (戦国時代/Warring States Period) (1914 – 2022INO/3631 – 3739PCZ)
  • The period when most of Fuso was carved up by many dozens of warlords and daimyo competing for hegemony over Fuso.
• Seifuku Jidai (征服時代/Age of Conquest) (2022 – 2080INO/3739 – 3797PCZ)
  • The period following the abdication of Sakugen-tenno (昨源天皇) to Shintoki-tenno (新時天皇), after which Shintoki-tenno and his followers set out to unite Fuso under the banner of Yamatai.
• Nademeru Jidai (宥める時代/Era of Calming) (2080 – 2123INO/3797 – 3840PCZ).
  • The period following the end of most of the major fighting of the Seifuku Jidai when the only violence that remained were several rebellions against the rule of Yamatai.

Prelude

For a few centuries prior to the Ni-Hyakunen Senso, the tenno of the Nadeshiko dynasty, while remaining the peacekeepers of Fuso, had been sidelined by a series of bakufu (幕府/shogunates), who kept the fourteen kingdoms in line under the threat of military intervention. The latest was the Takanami Bakufu (高波幕府) under the Ikuno clan (生野).

Sengoku Jidai

The period of semi-unified rule ended when Ikuno no Sasami (生野の笹身), the then Shogun of Fuso, and Mokuso-tenno (木造天皇), were both assassinated in an internal power struggle that was intended to restore power to the tenno. The coup backfired and most of the direct imperial family, including Mokuso-tenno's intended replacement, was killed in the same incident, leaving the heir to the throne uncertain.

With each of the rulers of the fourteen suspecting each other of taking part in the atrocity, and the more ambitious of every major daimyo and samurai sensing and seizing opportunity, rebellions and war ensued and most of the fourteen kingdoms collapsed entirely. The Takanami Bakufu's authority ceased to mean anything as well and the government too collapsed. And so the lands and islands of Fuso were plunged into chaos of near perpetuate war, even the eventual enthronement of Jikken-tenno (実験天皇), a distant cousin of Mukuso-tenno, did nothing to quell the chaos; the position and authority of the tenno had been reduced to nothing and viewed merely as an almost-obsolete symbol.

For at least a century the daimyo and other warlords of Fuso warred with each other on and off in either an attempt to gain hegemony over as much of Fuso as possible or simply preserve independence.

Seifuku Jidai

The Treaty of 2080 (二千八十年の条約/Ni senhachijū-nen no jōyaku) was the peace treaty that ended the war between the Empire of Yamataia and the Kingdom of Mizuho.
