1. Preface

1914. Amestris and Drachma, bitter enemies for many decades, have found themselves thrust into the throes of bloody conflict with one another. Amestris, enraged by the Drachman annexation of Ishbal, declared total war against their most hated enemy.

But it soon became apparent that this was to be a new type of war; a bloody, pro-longed conflict withfar-reaching, even global consequences. As men on both sides prepared themselves for what was to be the most explosive conflict in the history of mankind, new engines of destruction made their debut on the battlefield. Not only would soldiers on both sides have Alchemy to fear, but new technological advances like the airplane, the tank, poison gas, and trench warfare made it clear that the face of war would be changed forever.

As Amestris' Fuhrer Bradley struggled to hold together a nation beset with prejudice and class division, and Staunch Emperor Cedric III rallied his people to defend their homeland. In the war to end all wars, the stakes had never been higher, and the world would never be the same again.
