It was within this context of strategic encirclement that, on July 19, 2021, Francia, alongside Poland, Serbia, and Ancient_Egypt established the '''[[League of Free Nations]]'''.

Though initially limited in scale, the League would later prove crucial in coordinating military operations and sustaining Francia’s war effort during the conflict’s most intense phases. | |||
