The Great War also known as the Final War was an event in which the United States and its allies and Russia and its allies fired mutually launched nuclear missiles at each other in the last year of World War III. This doomed the fate of all humanity and when the bombs fell human civilisation was destroyed and new nations rose from the ashes. The Great War was a major event that led to the current setting of The Dark Future Trilogy.

History
During the war, Russia and America were battleing it out in China when the power of the Chinese Communist Party weakened and collapsed, splitting the country into two, the newly formed Greater Republic of China and the PRC controlled by the Eurasian Coalition. Seeing the intense military build-up in America and the large scale military presence in the plan to invade territories and liberate China, the Russian government secretly deployed nuclear weapons in America and Canada, and destroyed 4 major military installations. The US government was considering a nuclear terrorist attack. It is not known who launched the missiles first, some say America launched the first missiles after the Russians deployed warheads in America and Canada, others say Russia launched after America armed its missiles in response, some rumours say it may have been Israel, but the conflict quickly led to all-out nuclear war. Then chaos broke out as both major powers and their allies simultaneously launched warheads, millions of citizens began to rush to the nearest fallout shelters as bombs began to fall and cities began to destroyed.

North America
The United States was the first nation to be hit by a nuclear attack during the war. The first to be hit was a military base in southern Alaska, when the base's radar jammed and a Russian nuclear weapon struck the base and destroyed it. The first alarms went off when Russian warheads began to arrive in major cities on the West Coast, and alarms went off immediately after reports came in that the West Coast had been almost completely obliterated. In the meantime, many US citizens began to flee with their families and loved ones to underground fallout shelters after the country began to collapse and burn under the atomic fire. Soon in retaliation, American warheads began to be launched as they began to deploy French and British nuclear weapons while Russian began to hit their soil, and soon the President and his family fled to the emergency fallout shelters as Washington DC followed suit and London and Paris went completely dark. The Midwest managed to survive the war, as the harsh cold winters allowed for a smaller civilian presence and hidden military bases. When the war ended, about 26% of the population had survived if they lived in a place where they had not been hit by nuclear strikes or radiation, or who were able to escape in time to fallout shelters. Canada was also plunged into darkness by nuclear weapons, with only 18% of its population surviving, and Mexico was completely destroyed, with few survivors. Greenland is currently unknown, although it was home to several NATO military bases, but some speculate that it was not hit by a nuclear attack, and was a former colony of the former European nation of Denmark before the war. Greenland's population, like those of Siberia and Alaska, survived the war and new nations have risen from the ashes.

Europe
Russian nuclear weapons hit Europe the hardest during the war. Russian warheads were quickly launched into major Western European cities (London, Paris, Berlin, etc.) and soon the once prosperous continent as a whole was plunged into chaos and eternal darkness. The polar regions of Norway, Sweden and Finland in the north survived the war as Russian nuclear weapons were not launched into the territory.

Aftermath
After the Nuclear Holocaust, the planet's biosphere became unbreathable toxic, and a cloud of radioactive dust spread through the atmosphere around the world. The irradiated dust cloud flooded the world, blocking out the sun and plunging the world into perpetual darkness, resulting in a nuclear winter. The plant world could not maintain photosynthesis, and the intense radiation led to destabilisation of the food chain and extinction or mutation of surface fauna. Most humans survived the atomic war, but the high levels of radiation killed billions on the surface who did not turn into radiation-contaminated animal instinct mutants.

Trivia

 * Many colder regions, such as Alaska, the Northwest, Siberia, and the Arctic regions, have escaped war and nuclear strikes because of a low and hidden military and civilian presence.
 * After the war, these regions were able to build their states and prosperous societies with ease, but soon ran into problems due to lack of resources, rival factions, dangerous anomalies, the appearance of mutants, and environmental disasters such as heavy snowstorms and the monsoon season.

World War III (1995: The Armageddon)
"Mankind must put an end to war or war will put an end to mankind."

- John F. Kennedy

World War III or the Third World War, often abbreviated as WWIII or WW3 and also commonly referred to as the War of 1995, the Last Great War or most notably as The Armageddon, was a global conflict that took place mainly in the first two days of March 1995. It was fought primarily between the military alliances of NATO and CSTO against Aum Shinrikyo, although other countries also allied themselves with the two blocs to defeat Aum Shinrikyo's occupation of Japan after it's seizure of power on March 20 following both the subway sarin attack and a series of attacks in Tokyo.

It is generally accepted by most historians that the war began as a result of Aum Shinrikyo's seizure of power following a sarin gas attack in Tokyo subway as well as series of sarin gas attacks in Tokyo few hours later on March 20, causing in increase of Aum Shinrikyo's influence and the eventual takeover of the entire country. and after the result of the catastrophic computer malfunctions from the Aum Shinrikyo cult that triggered the launch of nuclear weapons from Japan to Russia and the United States, [UNDER PROGRESS], striking major cities in the west coast such as Los Angeles, Seattle, San Francisco, and other major cities in the east coast such as New York City or Boston, while also striking cities across Russia such as Moscow and Saint Petersburg.

However, due to lack of proper communication between the remaining American soldiers and the American continent, fighting continued.

In 1950, with Soviet support, North Korea launched an invasion of South Korea, almost unifying the peninsula before U.S. forces arrived and pushed back the invading North Korean forces, until China intervened and pushed back the American troops, before eventually agreeing to a ceasefire that lasted until ____.

Many proxy wars were fought throughout the Cold War, including the, the and the , as the Soviet Union and the United States fought for geopolitical dominance. From the 1960s to the 1970s, a period of détente took place, as tensions were scaled down between the two powers. However, when the Soviet Union invaded in 1979, tensions rose again, as the United States sent aid to the Afghan mujahideen. Under the leadership of Mikhail Gorbachev from 1985 to 1991, the Cold War gradually came to an end, as the Eastern bloc replaced their communist governments with democratically elected ones. On 26 December 1991, after the secession of all Soviet republics, the Soviet Union was declared dissolved, with the Russian Federation being recognised as its legal successor.

Post-Soviet conflicts
With the collapse of the Soviet Union, many disputes that had existed since the late 1980s escalated into all-out conflict.

Der Krieg
In the Summer of 1989, East Germany is in turmoil. Many citizens are dissatisfied with their nation’s Communist leadership and seek reunification with West Germany. On October 7, Mikhail Gorbachev, a supporter of those reforms, visits East Berlin. During his return flight, the hard-line Communist leadership stages a coup that deposes Gorbachev and installs General Vladimir Soshkin as the new Soviet leader. The Soviet government announces that Gorbachev resigned for "reasons of ill health," but Gorbachev is never heard from again, his true fate lost in the darkness of history. Soshkin and the hard-liners fiercely resist the rise of glasnost and perestroika. They are determined to end the uprisings in East Germany and the rest of the Eastern Bloc with a swift Chinese-style military crackdown in late October. (In East Germany at least, the crackdown is not limited to demonstrators; numerous moderate Communists such as Egon Krenz and Günter Schabowski are "disappeared", never to be heard from again.) The crackdown inflames popular opposition to communism. In late November, a demonstration in Leipzig is brutally repressed by the East German Army at great loss of life. Two days later, a demonstration at the Brandenburg Gate ends with East German soldiers killing many East Berlin residents trying to scale the Berlin Wall and a West German cameraman filming the events. Those soldiers also fire shots over the wall into West Berlin. Soon after, the East German government responds to the international condemnation of their conduct by ordering all foreign journalists out of the country. In mid-December, NATO airlifts military reinforcements to West Berlin. Soon after, Secretary of State James Baker arrives in West Berlin to secretly meet with General Dmitry Leonov, the Soviet commander in East Germany, who strongly opposes Soshkin's crackdown. However, on the way to the meeting, Leonov is killed by a car bomb, for which a West German neo-Nazi group claims responsibility. After an interview with West German TV in which Soshkin implicitly threatens West Berlin, an American colonel orders that tactical nuclear weapons in West Germany be placed on high alert. Soshkin responds with new threats, a massive deployment of the Soviet submarine fleet, and incursions of Soviet Bear bombers into Alaskan airspace. On January 25, 1994, several East German and Soviet tank divisions are mobilized to cut off transportation and supply links between West Germany and West Berlin, and the Soviet Air Force moves to close off East Germany's airspace. Soshkin hopes the plan will prevent the West from encroaching into the Soviet sphere of influence and isolate Berlin from the West. NATO responds by deploying thousands of additional troops into West Germany to strengthen their existing garrisons there. As the United States prepares their first military convoy across the North Atlantic, the Soviets announce their intention to blockade the U.S. Navy transports. Soshkin desires to cut off Western Europe and weaken the NATO buildup. The US and Britain condemn the blockade and last-minute attempts at a compromise fall through. When the convoy crosses into the designated exclusion zone, Soviet forces are ordered to attack. Nearly a quarter of the convoy is sunk in the ensuing battle before the NATO fleet clears the air and sea lanes to Europe. Shortly afterward, the United Nations Security Council holds an emergency session in New York City in the hopes of diffusing the hostilities between the superpowers, but the United States and Soviet Union both refuse to back down until the other does so. World War III has effectively begun. The world panics after the failed session and the United States dispatches National Security Advisor Martin Jacobs to the Soviet Union for last-ditch effort talks with Soshkin. Figuring that Soshkin knows that the Soviets are losing power in Eastern Europe, Jacobs offers Soshkin an extended timetable for the Soviet withdrawal from Eastern Europe in exchange for a de-escalation of the military buildup. Soshkin refuses him utterly with one word: "Nyet" (no). On March 12, Soshkin orders a massive amphibious landing near Kiel on the Baltic coast, carried out by the Volksmarine and the Soviet Navy's Baltic Fleet. The landings catch NATO off-guard, and they scramble forces northward to push back the beachhead. The next day, Warsaw Pact ground forces drive through the Fulda Gap, with orders to push to the Rhine to divide the stretched-out NATO armies. To support the assault, the Soviet Air Force bombards targets immediately on the Baltic coast and NATO bases further inland, such as Ramstein Air Base. The overall plan is to cripple the NATO buildup with a swift strike and then press for a new round of diplomatic bargaining from a stronger strategic position. NATO forces, surprised by an enemy that far outnumbers them, are pushed back, though they inflict substantial losses on the Warsaw Pact forces; both sides lose well over 1,000 dead in the first 24 hours. By March 17, the Warsaw Pact forces have advanced 50 miles into West Germany. Entire towns are destroyed in the fighting as increasingly-desperate NATO commanders try to stall the Warsaw Pact's advance, and civilian and military casualties are heavy, overwhelming NATO medical personnel. Public order collapses amid the mass panic, and 20 million automobiles jam the roads as West German civilians try to flee. While preparing to launch a tactical nuclear counter-assault, NATO carries out a last-ditch conventional air campaign––code-named Operation Bloody Nose––launched 24 hours before the nuclear strikes were to begin. The already-overworked NATO aviators are given just one day to turn the tide of an entire war. Thanks in part to a daring raid on the Soviet Army's forward headquarters in Poland and the use of American stealth aircraft, Bloody Nose is an overwhelming success: the initial strikes cripple Warsaw Pact command and control posts, throwing their armies in the field into chaos. In the ensuing air battle, NATO also inflicts devastating losses on the Soviet Air Force (which had already lost 20% of the aircraft supporting the initial offensives), thereby gaining air supremacy over Eastern European airspace. Combined with assistance from the Polish underground that cuts off Soviet supply lines, the tide of the war turns. With their numerical superiority negated by Western technological superiority, the East German and Soviet armies melt under NATO airstrikes, and counterattacking NATO forces cross into East Germany on March 23. NATO forces reach and liberate West Berlin on March 27. Now in full retreat, the Soviet Army withdraws to Poland, abandoning the East Germans to fend for themselves. With the East German military beaten, its central government falling apart, and foreign armies rapidly advancing into the country, East Germany essentially collapses, leaving many Germans on both sides of the Iron Curtain to hope that reunification is at hand. With victory close, the American leadership tries to reassure Soshkin that NATO has no intention of pressing their advance beyond East Germany. Open revolt erupts across the Eastern Bloc as citizens of the communist nations, as well ethnic minorities within the Soviet Union, press for the overthrow of their own leaders, emboldened by the collapse of East Germany and the fact that the Soviets are obviously losing the war. Soshkin's paranoia and desperation rise swiftly as the entire Eastern Bloc falls apart around him, and while NATO has no intention of actually doing so, Soshkin quickly becomes convinced that they will try to exploit the situation and fight all the way to Moscow. As a show of force, on March 31 Soshkin orders a symbolic nuclear strike above the North Sea. The United States responds by going to full nuclear alert and preparing to execute the Single Integrated Operational Plan. On April 1 (ironically April Fools Day), a Soviet radar post suffers an equipment malfunction. Falsely believing that the USSR is under nuclear attack, Soshkin orders an all-out retaliatory nuclear strike against the West. The nuclear powers of NATO have no choice but to respond in kind, and thousands of nuclear devices are launched across the Northern Hemisphere. The rest, as they say, is history.... 153.180.222.49 (talk) 04:56, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
