The Asian Theater of World War III was a major theater between the Democratic Empire of Korea, the Special Defense Pact, the Federation and the Islamic State of New Palestine. This part of the conflict spanned the continent of Asia, including the Middle East. It mainly involved the Special Defense Pact and the Democratic Empire of Korea. At first, the DEK and the Islamic State of New Palestine were neutral towards each other. However, when the Islamic State of New Palestine launched an incursion of DEK-occupied land, the Islamic State and Democratic Empire of Korea became enemies to each other, effectively turning the East Asian Theater into a free-for-all between the DEK, the ISNP, and the SDP.
==Background==
As conditions in the European Theater improved following the end of the Islamic State's conquest of Europe, the Islamic State still had a firm hold on the Middle East and the Democratic Empire of Korea had a hold on East Asia. The two factions, though against the Special Defense Pact was their common enemy, had a neutrality pact, which was broken when the Islamic State pushed forward across East Asia, penetrating into DEK-occupied land. The neutrality pact was violated when the DEK, outraged at the Islamic State for its actions, declared war on the Islamic State.
In addition to this, the Islamic State of New Palestine also pushed further down in its conquest of Asia, eventually penetrating into western China and causing the SDP to deploy People's Liberation Army soldiers into western China to liberate the occupied territories there.
