The Great Serrataran War is often split into two separate conflicts in historiography, into the Hatarian and Serican fronts, due to the distinct causes of conflict on both those fronts.

The war in Serica broke out later in 1944, due to the Fengese invasion of Arsytia on 7 February 1944, stemming from rising tensions between Fengjiang and Arsytia as well as border skirmishes between both countries and a perceived opening in Arsytian defenses due to its recent involvement in the Hatar front.
