World War III (Mind's Destiny)

== BASIC INFO: ==
World War III (abbreviated to WWIII or WW3) also known as the Third World War or the "Pax Americana War" was a global war that lasted from 2027 to 2032, WWIII effectively ended Pax Americana and destroyed many countries' economies and infrastructure. With over 3.5 Billion people mobilized and over 200 Million dead including war crimes against many peoples including the Indians, Taiwanese, Ukrainians, and South Koreans. World War III was the biggest human war until World War IV. World War III is marked by the extensive use of Ballistic Missiles, Cruise Missiles, Drones, Cyberwarfare, Space Warfare, and Autonomous Weapon Systems. A new weapon system named "Zeus" redefined warfare in the 21st Century as it contributed heavily to the fall of the Revisionist Powers and introduced orbital weapons.
When the Cold War ended, a new era of politics began, the two superpowers left after the dust cleared, the USA and China, both having vastly different ideologies which naturally made them enemies, this set the stage for the forty years of politics before World War III. In the 2020s the world's strongest powers began to form separate military alliances which came to a head in the late 2020s. World War III is seen as the direct result of Sino-Russian Expansionism, Middle Eastern proxy wars, The Russo-Ukrainian War, Social conflicts, and the economic and societal crisis due to COVID-19.
== 2027: ==
Prelude: May 28th, 2027: The Sino-Taiwanese war started, and NATO and the US didn't initially intervene until China also declared war on South Korea. This caused the USA to intervene. While this is happening, North Korea declared war on South Korea as well as Russia declaring war on NATO. These three nations started the Revisionist Powers. The Revisionist Powers consist of the Russian Federation, the People's Republic of China, and North Korea. NATO otherwise known as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and its Allies create the Western Alliance or The Alliance. This is the beginning of WWIII, otherwise known as the War of the Long Peace. 
The Digital Front (Cyberspace): While World War III raged on the physical battlefield all around the globe, the war also reached a front that has never been touched by war in history: Cyberspace. Both the Western Alliance and the Revisionist powers engaged in warfare never before seen by the use of cyber attacks. Servers all over the globe both civilian and military were targets of mass hacking operations causing a collapse of multiple websites and communication services. This warfare also reached the power grids of North America with some of the largest blackouts in US and Canadian history with entire cities going black. This caused mass panic and chaos in said cities, these cities included but were not limited to New York, Boston, Washington D.C, ETC. A false information war began to break out with countries creating mass misinformation through the internet and through the news with the use of hacking. This caused havoc in all countries that were the victims of these attacks. New measures were taken by the Chinese, Russian, European, and American governments to prevent future attacks employing new methods of defending against these attacks. The cyber-attacks that cause electrical failures usually are a result of a malware being placed into generators or nuclear reactors causing them to spin faster than they physically can causing them to explode, this then intern leads to power outages. This can be done to attack an enemies electrical infrastructure causing widespread food shortages and lack of communication between military forces.
The Eastern Theatre 2027: The Eastern Theatre of WWIII proved to be the bloodiest and most vital theatre of the war. At the start of WWIII, naval battles in the east Asian seas mostly consisted of Indian and American naval assets Vs. Chinese and North Korean naval assets. One of these battles was known as the Battle of Nicobar and ended in a Western Allied Victory. The Battle of Nicobar was a crushing blow for the Revisionist Powers. China begins an invasion of the eastern portion of India and takes parts of it. This invasion was made very difficult for the Chinese due to the Indians defending their homeland valiantly. The battles of Tezpur and Kalimpong occur with both very bloody battles with an estimated 100,000 deaths and 60,000 deaths respectively. In the bay of Bengal, a large naval skirmish between Indian and Chinese forces occurs. India begins an invasion of Nepal after Nepal joined the Revisionist powers due to being promised protection by the Chinese to the north and due to political reasons. The United States and the EU begin sending masses of personnel to help their Indian allies push back the Chinese. Due to the Chinese' mass invasion and expulsion of resources, India's defenses begin to crack. In the bay of Bengal and the Indian sea, multiple decisive naval skirmishes occur, and the Western Alliance takes control of most of the Indian sea, this proves crucial later on in the war. With the Indian offensive going to plan, China invades the Northern Philippines. The Indian President, encourages their country through speeches to stand firm against the Chinese and to continue resisting the Chinese offensive. This helps boost the morale of the Indian people and soldiers. With the giant China crashing down on them and over 20,000,000 people fighting on the frontlines, the Indian Front of WWIII saw some of the bloodiest and most brutal fighting ever seen in history up until World War IV. To the west of India, Pakistan begins to invade India with help from their allies China and the other Revisionist Powers. At this point in the war, India has its hands full but the one thing that is to India's advantage is its population of over 1 Billion. India is largely able to push back the Revisionist forces in the west. Australia and other Oceanic countries take up the call to help their allies and begin sending troops and aid to the Indian front and even send aid to the European Theatre. In the Korean peninsula, the South Koreans knowing what North Korean rule would entail fight like demons defending their homeland. Japan joins the war on the Western Alliances side. Russia begins to reinforce its Eastern portion knowing that an attack on Siberia would eventually happen.
The European Theatre 2027: The Revisionists, (mostly Russia and Belarus) began pushing into Eastern Europe kicking off the European Theatre of WWIII. The Russians and Belarusians lead a major offensive on bordering countries such as Ukraine, The Balkans, and Finland. The Russians lead a spearhead through Belarus to meet up with forces at Kaliningrad effectively cutting the Balkans off from European help. In WWIII, the Russians develop a military doctrine consisting of mostly destroying their opponents with high ordinance from long ranges. While the Russians began invading Europe, the EU and the UN start to freak out causing a collapse in the military order in Europe. Due to years of European incompetence due to ignorant US funding and societal problems related to nationalism and militarism, Europe had little to no military, this caused Russia to start sweeping through Europe. The EU and Russia both imposed large trade blockades on each other to starve each other of goods. Russia started creating a large spearhead to then cut through Europe like a hot knife through butter. The US begins sending reinforcements after the European line started to break into the EU which significantly helps the Europeans and creates a stalemate on the European front for most of WWIII. 
The African Theatre 2027: None of the African nations joined either side of WWIII in 2027.
The South American Theatre 2027: Due to American trade blockades, Cuba, Mexico, Venezuela, and other countries join the Revisionist Powers. Promised protection from the Western Alliance, Brazil and most of South America join the Western Alliance. Bolivia is invaded by Brazilian and Chilean forces. Trinidad and Sucre are taken by the Western Allies within weeks. With the two powers crashing down on it, Bolivia capitulates. Suriname holds its ground against Brazil due to the thick Amazon shield it has. Suriname invades French 
Guiana and takes its capital Cayenne within two days. Russia and China send forces to South America and Mexico to help plan the grand US invasion. Venezuela invades Guyana and begins preparations for an invasion of Colombia. Nicaragua invades Costa Rica and Honduras and takes both of their capital cities within days. A Bolivian puppet state is established by Brazil being more in line with the Western Alliance's points of view.
The North American Theatre 2027: Due to years of division in the United States, the two-party system starts to show cracks when faced with a war on this scale. Republicans and Democrats alike begin to argue on what to do in this war creating an even larger rift in US politics. The Middle Eastern Theatre 2027: After proxy wars in the Middle East, tensions began to rise between most of the Middle Eastern countries and the USA. During the first week of the official start of WWIII, most of the Middle Eastern countries joined the Revisionist Powers. In Turkey, the Turkish military surprisingly holds off the Russian advances for the most part although eventually, the defense breaks, and the Russians start to push forward. The Western Alliance knowing the danger this imposes begins to heavily reinforce and fortify Turkey.
