The Kadolhans are an ethnic group that formed in the Cozars in the 6th century, migrating from what is now known as modern-day Sremia. The Kadolhans invaded the Eutrucian Empire and formed the Kadolhan despotate in 603, expanding and forming the Kingdom of Kadolha in 692. The Kadolhan Empire was formed in 722, encompassing most of the Cozars, and it was unofficially called the Cozar Empire by its neighbours. Kadolha remained a Rodnover nation, rejecting from the Eutrucian Empire, and slaughtering missionaries that have attempted spreading. The Kadolhan Empire was dissolved into fourteen smaller states in 1503, with the Principality of Kradelas proclaimed in 1508, which would a century later lead to the Reunification War. The Principality of Kradelas united the other thirteen states through a war started in 1573 and in 1711 the First Kadolhan Republic was established. The 1802 coup d'état paved the way for a presidential system, forming the Second Kadolhan Republic and placing the reformed constitution into effect. In 1897, Kadolha invaded the Kingdom of Lubilia and annexed it in a matter of days after the Lubilian government announced its surrender. Kadolhans were met with almost no resistance as the Lubilians did not intend to fight them. This invasion was often characterized as an attempt to recreate the Kadolhan Empire or Greater Kadolha in general. [FIRST GREAT WAR]. In 1924, The Storming of Kradelas, led by Dragan Obrenović, toppled the Republican government and placed a Revivalist government in power lasting to this day. [SECOND GREAT WAR].

Throughout Kadolha's military history, since the year the war tribunal was established in 1804, there have been only a few cases involving war criminals of Kadolhan origin, although there was a case of treachery involved, because it was commonly foreign soldiers and officers who were trialed, and very likely imprisoned or executed. The two war tribunals are the following:
 * Supreme War Tribunal of the First Class — Responsible for trialing and convicting foreign commissioned officers and non-commissioned officers who have committed serious offenses against the state.
 * Supreme War Tribunal of the Second Class — Responsible for trialing and convicting commissioned officers and non-commissioned officers of Kadolhan origin who have committed serious offenses against the enemy state and the Kadolhan state.
