Indo-Chinese War (23rd Century and On)

The Indo-Chinese War was a large-scale military conflict fought between 2160-2164 between the Republic of China and the Union of India, the two largest military superpowers at the time of the conflict. The war was one of the most devastating wars ever fought, larger than World War II or World War III, and is regarded by many, to have been World War IV, though due to the lack of European involvement, some analysts disagree.
In addition, plasma weapons were used during the entire war, with India and China utilizing plasma ICBMs against one another, and had pretty much both of their navies and air forces were decimated by the war's devastation. With no actual winner, both India and China decayed into civil war, and total social breakdown. Eventually, both countries collapsed into independant states.
The war's devastation brought about the dissolutions of both China and India into independant Sino-Tibetan and Indian-speaking states. The war neutralized more than 47.5% of India's population and 40.3% of China's population. Due to the dissolutions of both India and China into independant states, this once-more, left the United States and Russia as the two principal superpowers of the world. Russia, Manchuria and Arabia became Asia's new principal military powers.
The war also left Pakistan, Afghanistan and much of Southeast Asia devastated as well.
After the war, the recoveries of both nations as unified nations was futile, let alone suicidal.
Out of the war, a the Republic of Manchuria became East Asia's major military power. With the devastation of Pakistan, South Asia was left with no main powerful nation, as it was left into a crumbling wasteland. Despite being neutral, Nepal and Sri Lanka were also devastated, since the Indian and Chinese militaries both essentially crossed into both nations, without regard for any treaties or agreements with their governments.
Other countries devastated were those allied with either nation, with Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia, Brunei and the Philippines having been exceptionally devastated. South Korea and Japan, who had both allied with India due to sharing a mutual hatred against China, were essentially devastated as well. But because the Philippines was also allied with the United States, recovery was much quicker.
After the war, the United States and Russia hurried to extend their spheres of influence, with Russia sending aid to China and Southeast Asia. In addition, both navies hurried to get access to China and India's destroyed aircraft carriers.
However, the war had far-reaching implications, as Russia and the United States argued and accused one another for lack of empathy for either India or China. In the end, the United States began building up for another war with Russia, which ultimately led to rebellion, mutiny, and eventually: its inevitable collapse.
