The Uneasy Peace

The Uneasy Peace is a period spanning from the withdrawal of Mankind behind the Walls (traditionally June 1st 1813) till the beginning of the Titan Invasion in 1910. This period saw relative peace for the remnants of Mankind, due to the protection provided by the Walls.

This period is traditionally divided into two halves: the Campaigns of Reconquest and the Great Peace. The Campaigns of Reconquest saw three major offensive efforts against the Titans, culminating in total human defeat and the abdication of the reigning king. The Great Peace followed, during which the only military activity beyond the Walls was carried out by the 66th Hussar Regiment.

Human population within the Walls had begun to reach dangerous levels by the time of the 3rd Campaign of Reconquest, and a famine was only avoided by the great loss of life (roughly 2 million dead) that resulted from the war effort. It would be able to rise above previous levels during the Great Peace due to advancements in agriculture and medicine.
