Third World War

The Third World War was the most deadly conflict in all of human history. Over two billion people perished in atomic fire, and great nations where reduced to total anarchy. In the late 2030s, tensions between the east and the west had reached boiling point. Then, in 2042, North Korea invades South Korea, and their respective allies declare war on each other. Battle after battle, front after front, the war ended in a nuclear exchange. The effect that it would have on humanity, in later years was monumental. WWIII is the reason for the many pacifist and dovelike policies of the Earth Federation, and indeed, the instigator for the Federation’s foundation.
