With Europe now rather peacefully unified under Yetian overlordship, paradoxically the Yetian government still debated over expansionism as many wanted to focus on peace while others wanted to use this opportunity to expand, with Premier Karl Ludwig d'Elsa eventually conceding to the militarists. The first action Yetia took was demanding Britannia join the Yetien Pact (after a fierce internal debate regarding if it should directly integrate Britannia as a puppet, which was eventually turned down in return for diplomatic control), which Britannia accepted out of fear of Yetian invasion. Now free to do as it pleased to the south, Yetia declared war on Saharia, Bornuvia, and Equatoria, prompting Khat and Wanaoishi to declare war in return to prevent Yetia from expanding into Africa.
Khat attacked into Jeriya while Yetia advanced into Saharia and Bornuvia, though with Wanaoishian aid the two soon managed to hold back the Yetians as Khat pushed deep into Yetian holdings. All of the sudden, Yetia launched a naval invasion of Nyumba, forcing Equatoria and Wanaoishi to pull back their support to deal with the invasion while some of Yetia's protectorates began trying to sabotage them in order to break free. Yetia spread throughout Wanaoishi's rivers, reaching Kungani around the same time that it captured Alshqati. Equatoria and Wanaoishi managed to cut off the Yetians from sea access while a National State was set up in Saharia. Khat began seeing significant difficulties in its operations, making them slowly lose morale and confidence in their war capabilities as Yetia launched a massive counteroffensive in Saharia and Jeriya. Yetian forces trapped in central africa fled via the sea while Khat was forced to retreat from Jeriya and Bornuvia's capital of N'Djamena was captured by Yetia despite resistance movements in Saharia expanding. Yetia was granted military access thru Hayah, allowing it to invade thru the Sinai to attack Khat from two sides, cutting off significant numbers of Khatian soldiers in Cairo. A smallscale uprising begin in Jeriya as Yetia advanced, although this was soon crushed alongside the Saharian resistance. Yetia kept advancing deeper and deeper into enemy territory as the African states failed to find international allies, leading to the sabateurs in Vedaburg and Italy to realise the only way to get out of Yetia was to assassinate the premier, though this plan would not be ready in time. Continuing to lose on all fronts, Wanaoishi was tasked with negotiating a peace agreement with Yetia, with Yetia demanding unconditional surrender, which the five nations reluctantly accepted as they were forced to recognize the National States over Sharia, Bornuvia, North Khat, and Darfur.
