Third World War

The Third World War, commonly known as World War III (WW III), was a short global war between democratic nations (United States, European Union, South Korea, Israel, India, Mexico) and the powers of Russia, China, North Korea, and Serbia. It lasted between December 21st, 2052 and 2055, when Earth was consumed by the Germanican Empire, forcing the Terrans to escape from Earth. About two billion people had died in the event, in which it was considered "a war between two sides that were forever divided until they had themselves destroyed in the process by an act of God", as said by Cornello Afherin, who supported civil rights for Terrans.
==History==
===Prelude===
The origins of the war had began in 1994, when Kim Jong Il, son of the deceased Kim Il Sung, was placed in power to lead North Korea as its Supreme Leader. On September 11th, 2001, terrorist extremists destroyed the World Trade Center within the city of New York, causing the War on Terror that had forever changed the world. President George W. Bush then became president and declared war on Al Qaeda, a terrorist group in which he thought was responsible. By 2003, while US troops had fought in Afghanistan in the hunt for Osama bin Laden, the leader of the terrorists, Bush accused Saddam Hussein of hiding nuclear weapons and declared an invasion on Iraq on March 20th.
