The Serrian theater of the Great War was virtually over by 1932, two years before the end of the conflict, as Allied airpower ended what was left of the Axis bomber force. The end of the war saw the total Anderian, Kerthenian and Serrian victory. The unleashing of the atomic bomb shocked the world, which quickly fractioned between right and left.

Nations that could not afford to be funded by either side of this new Cold War conflict could only buy from a neutral source with a large military industry. The amount of money that flowed into the Serrian military industry after the Great War was beyond predictions, and funded expansive scientific and advanced research projects, such as the first Serrian jet fighters. Vellina was nearly entirely rebuilt from its intense bombing raids by 1937, and by 1939 it had become again the economic capital of the nation. Verrani, which was originally founded in Vellina, moved back to its home after moving its headquarters during the war. Throughout the rest of the twentieth century, the Serrian government subsidized the arms and munitions manufacturers as it was an increasingly lucrative business. In 1954, Serria tested its first nuclear weapon, and quickly developed supersonic strategic bombers, nuclear attack and missile submarines, and an intercontinental ballistic missile force. Needing means to project power in the post-Great War world, Serria commissioned five Draghi-class carriers. The development of the Alton defense system also began in 1967. The system is now known as AMLIS.

Serria's position as a neutral great power with a large industry opened doors for military sales, as unaligned nations required advanced equipment to maintain their national defense needs. The amount of money that flowed into the Serrian military industry after the Great War was beyond predictions, and funded expansive scientific and advanced research projects, such as the first Serrian jet fighters and the beginnings of the Serrian nuclear program.

In 1954, Serria tested its first nuclear weapon, and quickly developed supersonic strategic bombers, nuclear attack and missile submarines, and an intercontinental ballistic missile force to support its deterrence mission. Needing means to project power in the post-Great War world, Serria commissioned five aircraft carriers and built a powerful naval force, which many historians argue allowed Serria to defend its pre-Great War dependencies.

Following growing tensions and fears of nuclear conflict, Serria began extensive and pioneering research into advanced air-defense systems and anti-ballistic missile networks, as well as the complicated radar and tracking information infrastructure to handle mitigating the damage from nuclear war. This sparked the development of the Alton defense system in 1967. The system is now known as the Adanced Multi-Layered Information/Intercept System, or AMLIS.
