Finno Korean HyperWar

The Finno-Korean Hyperwar is an extremely long conflict which lasted for 2073 years, from 8245 BCE to 6172 BCE. It resulted in 1.4 billion military deaths, and 256 million civilian deaths, totalling at over 1.6 billion deaths. The war was fought between 2 main factions, with other minor factions and nations included. Firstly, there was the Finno Pact, which included the Finnish Khagnate, the Finno Buffer States (FBS), Finno Britonica, Finno Iberi and the Anatolian Confederacy. Secondly, there was the Hwan Cooperation Sphere, which included the Great Hwan Empire, Hwan Siberium and Achaemenia. The 2073 year long hyperwar was not just total war, but it had peace periods and long stalemates.

## Prior to the war declaration

Prior to the hyperwar declaration by the Great Hwan Empire, there was a heated arms race between the two world hyperpowers, with their allies also participating. There was also a space race, with the FInnic Khagnate landing on the moon in 9014BC. The Great Hwan Empire developed and constructed the first space warship, which had the capability to carry out an orbital bombardment. Along with space related technologies being developed during this time, many other fields of science experienced a 'great leap forward'. Many nations rapidly industrialised along with the two hyperpowers, with the most successful being the Imperium of Ra, where the first industrial revolution took place. They would eventually lead the way to astroid mining and would be the 'factory of the world'. Medical technology and practices would not reach the same levels of advancement until 2134AD.

Apart from the Finnic Khagnate, Great Hwan Empire and the Imperium of Ra, the other world powers had relatively weak industry, and had small economies. West Africa would even struggle to keep its great power status before the war.

## Cause and start of the war

It is believed a false flag operation was staged by the Great Hwan Empire against the Finnic Buffer States. The FBS was guaranteed sovereignty by the Finnic Khagnate. The Great Hwan Empire believed that it would be able to steam roll the Finnic Khagnate in a matter of 100 years with their shear force of great numbers. However even though the Finnic Khagnate had a much smaller population, it was slightly more technologically advanced and was more experienced in warfare. The finns also had the largest economy with the largest industry, and was easily able to out-produce goods and assets faster than the Hwan.

In the first decades of the war, millions perished. A wasteland measuring in the hundreds of km in width started to form along the frontline from the arctic sea to the borders of Achaemenia. Trench warfare was established. 143 years laster hostilities ceased as both nations would no longer be able to contribute to the war effort. Peace would last for a few decades, sometimes 100 years and would then hostilities would spark another conflict. This would occur for another 2000 years until the end of the conflict.

## Mid-War

During 8256 BCE to 6034 BCE, the HyperWar had devestated the Asian continent. With both nation's militaries depleted of men and food, the end of the war was near. The leader of the Finnish Khagnate at the time and with the work of the top minds in the nation, devised a plan to end the war. The Giza array was planned and was under construction. The Giza Array once activated would remove intelligence and social norms from the people of the Hwan Cooperation Sphere. Because of depletion of resources for the war, and most of the infrastructure had already been destroyed because of the war, the Giza Array was chosen to be built in the Imperium Of Ra, a neutral state which had been an observer to the war this whole time. But had finally leaned to the Finno side and agreed to host the Giza Arrary in secrecy.

### **Note-able events**

#### Orbital bombardment of Konshu

Konshu was a megacity located in the west of the Great Hwan Empire, it had a population of 76 million people. Konshu hosted a large amount of military units and many weapon storage and testing sites, and was one of the key cities targeted for destruction by the Finnic high command. Konshu and the area surrounding the city was bombarded by orbital cannons and space warships for 3 months. This resulted in tens of millions of civillian deaths, and the near complete destruction of the megacity. After the destruction of Konshu, the Hwan Empire developed rudimentary shield technology, which they would install on their capital and other key cities in the nation. This would render orbital bombardment obsolete and inneffective as more targets were protected by these shields.

### Battle of Siberium

The battle of siberium was fought along the border of the Hwan Siberium territory. The Hwan Siberium is an important mining colony and is one of the main sources for the industrial might of the Hwan Empire. The border was heavily defended with millions of troops and stationary turrets. Eventually trench warfare was enacted and was one of the main contributors to the destruction of the siberian wildlife, which would eventually lead to the creation of the siberian hyperwastes.

### Chinese Din Rebellion

Influenced by korean seperatist movements, the chinese population of the Great Hwan Empire staged a rebellion in 6146BCE. This was the start of the downfall of the Great Hwan Empire, as many internal devisions hampered the war effort. Hwan military units had to be drawn back from the front lines to try to suppress the rebellion, but ultimately failed as the east coast of china succesfully broke away from the Great Hwan Empire. The new chinese state was led under the din dynasty, a forgotten early chinese dynasty in history.

### Loss of Finnic puppet states

Due to the prolonged hyperwar, the people of the Finnic puppet states (Finnic Britani, Finnic Iberi and Finnic Africa) had growing negative opinions on the Finnic Khagnate. The khagnate would not be able to afford to bring men from the frontlines of the hyperwar back to western Europe, so after years of mass protest independance was given to the puppet states on the conditions that they would not trade with the Great Hwan Empire, and would supply military equipment to the Finnic Khagnate throughout the hyperwar. Iberia was the most succesful newly independant nation, with one of the fastest growing economies in the world due to mass trade with the Finnic Khagnate and the Imperium of Ra and other african nations. Sahara on the other hand unfortunately fell to corruption. It was lead by a Finnic loyalist party, and was still very close to the Finnic Khagnate.

## End of the war and the activation of the Giza Array

### Collapse of the siberian lines

Nearing the end of the war in 7018BCE-6145BCE, the frontlines on both sides of the war were slowly collapsing, with even whole units either deserting or surrendering to the other side. The Finnic Buffer States rebelled in 6021 BCE and fragmented into many small states, all including many ethnic groups. The area was declared an anarchy zone. Archaemenia also descended into civil strife, and pulled back from the arms race and the conflict as a whole, resulting in a loss of an important ally for the Great Hwan Empire.

### Collapse of the Hwan Imperial government

Due to civil strife and internal devisions and power struggles, the Hwan imperial goverment descended into chaos in 6145BCE. After this, the chinese seperatist group 'Din' staged a successful rebellion against what was left of the Hwan Imperial Government. From this time up until the last years of the war, many groups and nationalities rebelled against the Great Hwan Empire with most of these encouraged and supported by the Finnic Inteligence division. Up until the last years of the war, the Great Hwan Empire slowly collapsed, and could no longer sustain a conflict with the Finnic Khagnate, which had stayed intact, apart from losing its puppet states.

### Giza Array activation

The Giza Array was completed during 6172 BCE, and was activated in the same year. The Hwan Intelligence Division knew about the Giza Array for 2 decades prior to its completion, and worked on sabotaging the project. But however the Giza Array was completed before they could make any solid plans. The HID planted a Radiation Pulse Emittor into the core of the Giza Array, which would cause its malfunction. The array was activated and so was the emittor. Instead of just the Hwan Cooperation Sphere being targeted, the whole of the human race was. This resulted in the global intelligence recession.

## Conclusion

Due to the activation of the Giza Array, humanity was set backward thousands of years. This resulted in a large amount of the population dying off as the human race was simply too large in numbers to be supported by its now negligible intelligence. All nations that existed during and before the Hyperwar collapsed, and their society and artifacts would not stand the test of time. Human knowledge would not reach the level of pre-hyperwar until pre-diluvion babylon, which then collapsed because of an unkown event. Through the ashes of the hyperwar, new civilisations emerged, such as the Egyptians and early greeks peoples. The few nations remaining such as the Finnic Kingdom and the newly formed Korea would fall just a few decades later and their history would be forgotten.
