The Second Global War, also known as Napoleon's War, was in many ways a continuation of the French Revolution, and thus, indirectly, of the First Global War. The major powers involved were France and Japan and Britain and Russia on the other. Numerous other minor powers were involved, but those were the primary partners. Japan attempted to regain lost colonies in North America, occupying most of North America at their height, though they were eventually pushed back. In Asia, Japan pushed the border with Russia westwards, stopping at the Ural mountains.
