War Against Russia (War Against Russia, China and North Korea Timeline)

Operation Justice (Latin: Operatio Iustitia; German: Operationsgerechtigkeit; Russian: Операция Справедливость, Operatsiya Spravedlivost') also known a the Great War Against Russia or the Great Russia War and known by former loyalists as the Second Great Patriotic War (Russian: Вторая Великая Отечественная война, Vtoraya Velikaya Otechestvennaya voyna) was Greater Europe and Greater America's invasion of Russia and its allies, It was part of the European Theater of the broader World War III.
The unification of Europe was seen as a threat in Russia, and just another one of old NATO's brainchilds. It reminded many Russians of the rise of Hitler and Operation Barbarossa. After Ukraine was officially recognized as part of Greater Europe, Russia launched an all-out invasion, and successfully made rapid territorial gains in Ukraine. Additionally, it fully-annexed Belarus, and from Belarus, launched Operation Bagration II, making large-territorial gains in eatern and northern Poland.
Additionally, the Russians drove Greater European forces out of the Baltics, connecting Kaliningrad with the rest of its territories, invading Central Asia via Kazakhstan, as well as Georgia and Armenia, and what many thought would be the return of the Russian Empire.
However, Russia's successes ended in Central Asia along with the Great Russian Blackout and Assassination of Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin Purge, and after the Greater American Union agreed to full-pledged support, the joint-coalition continued to push Russians all the way deep east, culminating for the first time in modern Russian history, that Moscow fell to an invasion, the first-such time ever since King Casimir's invasion of Moscow. As Russia's military supplies and morale continue to deplete and deplete, it never recovered any territorial gains - and the government of the Russian Federation continued to retreat east. Russian resistance degenerate into paramilitary warfare. 
Additionally, the Russian military like in World War I - broke down into rivaling factions, although not as bad as the Russian Civil War itself, but saw a resurgence of the Communist Party, and its de facto takeover of the Russian military under Chinese support as well as a brief revival of the Russian SFSR. However, the Third Sino-Japanese War forced the PRC to lessen, and eventually withdraw all support altogether with the exception of the short-lived rump People's Republic of Siberia.
The war also saw what many predicted - unconventional warfare, with the use of drones and excessive cyber warfare.
The remnants of the Russian military surrendered in Volgagrad, after a brutal 7-year war, and thus - all of European Russia was absorbed into the Greater Europe, as part of the Eastern Region. To the east, the buffer Ural Republic was formed which acted as a buffer for Greater Europe against the People's Republic of Siberia, established as a Chinese puppet state, as well as home to the rump Russian government.
Half of the success enjoyed by the Greater European Forces and Greater American forces were thanks to many Russians turning against the government, in which many also claim it to the be Fourth Russian Civil War. 
In terms of territorial gains, Finland gained much territory, including Karelia. Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan all became aprt of the Republic of Cacuasus. Kaliningrad was renamed Konigsberg and became part of Lithuania. 
However in spite of Russia losing, contrary to Russian expectations - the war and the integration of Russia into Greater Europe united all of the Slavic and Orthodox-speaking population. 
==Prelude and Background==
The New Aryan Movement effected both the United States and the European Union, which culminating in the merging of Canada and the United States into the Greater American Union, and that of the European Union into the Aryan European Empire. Both were created by a wierd mix of Aryan race movements, but with socialist-style elements, therefore this was not a neo-Christian movement of any sort. This movement however, saw huge concentration in Ukraine, by ultranationalists who were anything but happy with the Ukraine accord that saw an ultra-bitter and grudge-filled ceasfire between Ukraine and Russia. At the same time, these nationalists were also unhappy with Volodymyr Zelensky for what they felt was unnecessarry fighting, and the deaths of too many Ukrainians - let alone being Jewish, and regarded Zelensky in the same manner as all anti-Semitic racist leaders did, namely in that he was part of a jewish order sent to plunge Ukraine into total darkness.
The former European Union was transformed into the Aryan Coalition, however many Eastern European nations remined weary of this. It was led by former Swedish prime minister and NATO secretary-general Rudolf van Quarnstrom who felt that the NATO of old was very ineffective. His intent to invade Russia was well-known, but unlike Hitler, Quarnstrom viewed Russians as "Eastern Aryans", and instead, advocated for a fully cultural Russian zone within a united Aryan Empire.
In 20??, after the mysterious assassination of Volodymyr Zelensky, Salvation Party leader Mikhaylo Udovychenko took over the Rada, and declared Ukraine part of Greater Europe. This time, Greater European troops re-inforced the Ukrainian Army.
Russia saw this as an affront and a direct threat, and even though NATO was gone by name, the united military of the Aryan Coalition was just its descendent. Additionally, anti-Russian movements in Belarus led by the Opposition sprung up, and threatened the established government in Minsk, forcing Russian to send its troops into Belarus. Russia invaded and annexed Belarus, and not only reinforced the Belarusian military, and revived the Belarusian Partisans, and trained them. 
==Allies of the Greater European Union ==
The Greater European Union already was a superpower in of itself, destined for an eventual victory, even without help from the Greater American Union, this is something historians from both nations, even that of Russia, agree on. Australia also provided troops, however their main focus was against China and North Korea in the Pacific Theater.
==Allies of Russia==
Initially, Russia has its own bloc of allies as well, namely Belarus, Serbia, Moldova, Kazakhstan, Iran, Turkey and China. However, Russia's allies were evidently much weaker, and even over-dependent on Russia itself. In the Caucasus Operations, Iranian troops supported and reinforced the Russians in the Caucasus. 
Although Turkey initially supported the Allies - however, the Greater European Union's siding with Greek Cypriots turned Turkey against the Greater Europeans, who further pushed it into an uneasy alliance with Russia. Thus, during the Battles in Ukraine, Turkey ceased its support of Kyiv, and instead - supplied drones to Russia. However, given that Turkey still sided with the Kosovar independence movement, Russia and Turkey agreed to send their troops to guard their respective sides in the Kosovo War. Turkey however, ended up on the losing side in the Kosov War, as the Greater Europeans refused to support Kosovo.
As a result of Russia's invasion and occupation of Kazakhstan and Belarus, the people's of the two countries would soon turn against the Kremlin, and fight the Kremlin's forces via a paramilitary war, once that was supported and supplied by the Greater Europeans. Russian troops were also thinned out, and forced to withdraw from Moldova, therefore - Moldova was overran by Romanian forces, and re-united with pro-Greater European Romania. 
China on the other hand - being the unreliable "friends" that they were, gave limited support to the Russians, but nowhere near as an ally should. Rather, the Chinese forces sent their droops into Siberia, to help establish the short-lived People's Republic of Siberia. However, the PRC too, would face ultimate karma, and meet its downfall, after the international community sanctioned China, isolated it, and helped the Republic of China take over the country. 
==Order of battle ==
=== Russian offensives ===
Russia launched the Ukraine Liberation Offensive, and in spite of Ukraine being fortified, the Russians successfully stormed western Ukraine and their forces were unlike the 2022 invasion. Unlike before, this invasion was well-equipped, well-trained, and technologically up-to-date. In the north, Russians launched Operation Bagration II from Belarus, invading the Swolki Gap, and connecting Kaliningrad with the rest of Russia. This encouraged Serbia to invaded Kosovo, Albania and Bosnia.
===20?? - 20?? Russian territorial expansion===
In the early years of the war, the Russians enjoyed victories and territorial expansions. In a time-span of two years, the Russians drove out Aryan forces from the Baltics, leading to the infamous "Flight from Estonia", which is considered by many to be the "Baltic Dunkirk", and managed to occupy large-swaths of Ukrainian territory west of the Dneiper. Kiev was finally conquered, and the Russians named it one of the "Great Capitals" of Russia. The Russians also reinforced Moldova, who chose to join them instead of Romania who had joined the Aryan Coalition. The Serbs also managed to extend their territory, leading Russia and Serbia into an alliance. Moldova grew larger, and continued to form a salient against the Aryan territory. 
The Russians also managed to lead a sweeping invasion of Georgia. At the same time however, Turkey saw this as an oppurtunity to send more troops into Syria, and stood as a buffer against both Russians and the Aryans. 
Operation Bagration III saw the Russians making deep offensives and conquering swaths of northern and eastern Poland - followed by an invasion of Central Asia, which was claimed to have been the biggest Russian mistake since it ended up taking manpower and resources from the European Front. In other words, Putin made the same mistke as all past dictators - by opening up a war on two fronts. Putin argued the Kazakhstan was needed to be back-up ever in case the invasion was reversed, the first-such time he ever admitted the possibility of defeat, and in spite of this - actually ended up being defeated. 
From Kazakhstan, Putin further launched an invasion of Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan. While Kyrgyzs and Tajiks welcomed the Russians, the Uzbeks and Turkmens resisted the Russian invasion. 
After the invasion and occupation of Tajikistan, Putin hosted a celebration in Moscow, in an even referred to as the "Return of the Empire". Little would Putin - his invasion of Central Asia would be the beginning of his downfall.
Additionally, the occupation of such a large husk of territory was one that came with extreme internal rebellions, and thanks to the stretching of Russian forces thin for Central Asia operations, those in the European Front were unable to handle the logistics support of Greater Europe to anti-Russian paramilitary groups. 
===20?? - 20?? First of Russian losses===
Putin had assumed that the Greater European Empire would surrender. However, the Greater American Union decided to send full-pledged aid, changing the game. Much like Stalin and his worry of a Japanese incursion in the Soviet Far East, many Americans were concerned that China would help and aid Russia. It was learned from American and Aryan spies in China that Beijing had no such plans, and like before - Putin's invasion of Central Asia was seen as an oppurtunity by the Greater American Union, as it would severely exhaust and eventually, deplete the Russian forces.
The first of major Russian losses were through Poland and the Baltics. 
=== Nuclear Exhange===
After what was seen as an incursion into Russian territory, Putin fired the first nuke of the war as a warning shot, not into any major American cities but into empty farmfield in Mississippi. The Greater American Union retaliated by firing another nuke into Russia's own remote areas, in southern Russia. 
===Black Ops and cyber warfare operations in Russia===
After the nuke exchange, the Greater Europeans decided that conventional incursiong into Russian territory was going to resulted in mutually-assured destruction. Therefore, a temporary cease-fired was announced, and the Coalition continued to support their respective armies by indirect means. Both sides knew that the nuke exchange would result in mutually-assured destruction.
The Greater European Army therefore decided to strike the Russians at their game: via cyber warfare, and internal rebellion, as well as Black Ops operations. The Greater American Union sent weapons and troops into Turkmenistan, to further distract and deplete Russian forces and made it appear as if Putin's largest threat was in Central Asia.
It isn't until a former cyber warfare soldier in the Russian Army defected to the Greater European Army, giving Brussels full-scale hacking abilities. In what is known as the "Great Shutdown", the Cyberwarfare Battalions of the Greater European Army successfully rendered all of Russia's nuclear codes useless, and shut down their nuclear-launch facilities, destroying Russia's nuclear warfare abilities.
Afterwards, the "Great Russian Blackout" occured, after a mixture of Greater European Black Ops and Russian dissenters shut down the power grid in the country, and also carried out the assassination of Vladimir Putin.
Although three days later, the Russians were able to get the power grid back on, however this was the beginning of the end, as they were now forced to fight with extremely limited communications, no more nuclear weapins capabilities, and no more dictator to lead them.
Mikhail Mishustin assumed control of the loyalist forces, however the blackout had encouraged mutinees and anti-government paramilitaries to exploit the situation and raid police stations and military bases. 
===Continued Coalition offensives and Russian Civil War 20?? - 20??===
After Putin was announced dead, the Coalition continued their offensives against beluegered and disarrayed Russian forces, expelling them from Poland completely, and re-establishing a small territorial gain in the Baltics. From this point on, the Russians never recovered and were pushed all the way further and further east.
In the ensuing episode of this war, for the first time in modern Russian history, and ever since King Casimir's invasion of Moscow, the city of Moscow finally fell into foreign invaders. Ukrainian forces invaded southern Russia, and thanks to being equipped with drones, launched drone attacks against Russians.
The Fourth Russian Civil War commenced between anti-government and loyalist forces, as well as the New Red Army and right-wing groups, both claiming to be "ultranationalists", who not only fought the Coalition but also each other, destroying any hopes for a Russia comeback.
===Chinese encroachments into the Far East===
Concurrently, as the Coalition continued to push the Russians further east, China started making military moves into Siberia, where they helped establish the People's Republic of Siberia. China offered help to Russia, only on the condition that the Russian people accept the Communist Party of the Russian Federation as the ruling party, and therefore, the Chinese sent arms and aid towards the New Red Coalition, who now controlled the Russian Armed Forces, and being a "loyalist" now became synonymous with being a communist. 
This upsetted half of the Russian troops resisting Greater Europe, and led many ultranationalists to join the Greater European side and once-again, any talks of opposition to the Greatern European Reich was under communist influence, and recalling the Soviet struggles of World War II.
===Continued Russian offensives===
After being reinforced by the Chinese, with materials, supplies and weapons, the Russian military, now under communist control managed to make a couple more successful offensives against the Greater Europeans, and was able temporarily put down uprisings in Kazakhstan, prolonging the war again.
After China threatened to reinforce the "true patriotic Russians", the world powers didn't cave in, and instead, banned exports from China, and isolated the China. This was led by a global isolation of China, and the start of the Pacific Theater of the war, waged mainly by Japan.
Although thanks to the size of the Chinese military, the PRC was able to hold off Japan's invasion for some time, with the Greater American Union and Greater European Reich even re-considering not involving China and accepting that Russia was a lost cause. Therefore, Japan resorted to forming anti-communist paramilitary in China, and through these - the Chinese Civil War commenced, and allowed Manchuria, United Mongolia, Tibet and East Turkestan to break off from the PRC thanks to the Greater American Union and Japan's aid towards the Central Asian countries.
The multi-front war against the PRC, although prolonging longer than Russia paid off, and China was forced to withdraw support from Russia to support its own war. In the process rather, the PRC allowed for the formation of the People's Republic of Siberia.
The war against China caused the remaining Russian forces to ultimately collapse, and like a domino effect, the Coalition continued to destroy Russian defensive operations. 
===Russia surrenders ===
General Fyodor Olkhovsky now had full control of the shattered remains of the Russian military, as the overwhelming majority of soldiers and officers favored a surrender. General Olkhovsky made contact with pro-European Russian paramilitaries, who notified Brussels of the Russian surrender. 
Ironically, Volgagrad (as Stalingrad) was where the Soviets stopped the German invasion during the Second World War, making the defeat even more humiliating for Russia. A rump government in exile, led by General Mikhail Silvestrov, known as the Russian Federation-in-Exile retreated into Yekaterinburg under the control of the rump Communist Party of the Russian Federation-in-Exile, and continued to oppose the Greater European Union. 
Under the orders of the Greater European High Command, General Olkhovsky urged remaining Russian military personnel to lay down their arms, and surrender to the Greater Europeans. 
Olkhovsky relinquished full control of the Russian military to the Aryan High Command in Brussels, and members of the Communist Party who surredendered to the Greater European Reich were sent to re-education camps, where they were allowed to form Greater European-approved Leftist parties. Many ended up forming leftist parties influenced by Scandinavian socialism, the Communist Party was also banned in European-occupied Russia.
==Territorial and cultural aftermath ==
===Russians and Ukrainians===
Much international attention was given as to what the fate of Russians and Ukrainians would be. Contrary to mainstream expectation - no such cultural repressions on Russian language or culture occured, as a matter of fact - quite the opposite. Russian language was promoted as one of the "Great Languages" of the Aryan Confederation, much to the dismay of Ukrainians. Russian became one of the officials of the confederation overall.
Crimea and all of eastern Ukraine became recognized as Ukrainian territory. However in spite of Ukrainian ultranationalist wet dreams of never seeing Russians, and never having any Russian involvement - as part of the Greater European Union, this now meant visa-free and free-flow of movements of goods between Russia and Ukraine. However, most Russians avoided working in Ukraine for fears of attacks and retaliation. Additionally, the Greater European Reich also established a Post-War Anti-Corruption Investigative Force, or the PWACI forces, to investigate any post-war atrocities or claims of by the victors. It was found that Ukrainians had indeed, engaged in atrocities against ethnic Russians civilians in eastern Ukraine, where the Greater European High Command sent forces for extra-protective mesaures for the ethnic Russians in eastern Ukraine. In spite of this, the majority of Russians in Ukraine fled to into Russia. Over the following years however, cordial relations continued, and relations between the two ethnic groups were gradually restored. Russian was again re-recognized publicly in Kyiv, Dnipro, Odessa and Kharkiv. 
The former Russian Federation was internationally split between three new states. The Russian Provisional Government, which covered at least most of pre-war European Russia, the Ural Republic, and the Republic of Siberia, with the Republic of Siberia being a Japanese satellite state. Both the Greater European Union and the Empire of Japan agreed to establish a buffer state in the Ural Republic.
=== Finland===
Finland gained the largest of territory after the war, and was able to take over northwestern Russia. There were not given back to Russia, and were given to Finland. The city of Vyborg and Karelian Peninsula too, became Finnish territory, followed by a large exodus of the ethnic Russian population, and the replacing by Finns, in spite of the Finnish government encouraging ethnic Russians to stay in their cities and communities. Finland recognized Russian as a regional language in its southeastern territories, home to a large Russian minority - who for the most part, migrated to the territories held by the Russian Provisional Government.
===Military restrictions againtst Russia ===
Like most post-war defeats of villians, a number of military restrictions were placed on Russia. Although still under the command of an ethnic Russian, but the military forces of Russia no longer answered to its own High Command, but that of the Greater European Higher Command in Brussels. The body that handled this was the Russian Provisional Defense Committee, which was partially composed Russian generals, and those of other European countries to combat any possible gerrymandering.
Additionally, all of Russia's nuclear weapons arsenals were under the control of the Greater European Higher Command, the Provisional Stavka had no control over them, and the WMDs were dismantled. The government of the Ural Republic also gave the United Nations permission to access and dismantle its nuclear wepaons, while those in the Republic of Siberia, the Republic of China and the territories of the former PRC were handled mainly by Japanese and Chinese troops, although the Republic of China was able to keep its nukes. Russia's military was confined to the Civil Defence Force, however unlike the post-World War I Weimar Republic, the Russian Civil Defence Force was not ultra-restricted, and was allowed to use tanks and other heavy military machinery.
Half of Russia's military stockpile was also re-distributed in Asia, to help Japan supply anti-communist paramilitaries in their war against Communist China.
Soviet flags were banned, and while the Russian tricolor was not banned, usage of it was discouraged due to its association with the Putinist regime. 
===Military gains for Ukraine===
Ukraine grew out of this war having the most powerful military in the Eastern Region. With plenty of coastlines, including the Mikolai shipyard, Ukraine was the most heavily-fortified region, and the Ukrainain Navy emerged as one of the major naval powers of the Greater European Union.
