**World War 5**, also known as the **Great African War**, the **War on Communism** and shortly abbreviated as **WW5** or **WWV** was a global conflict spanning the entire world with the main fighting taking place in Africa, Europe and Asia.

The conflict started on January 3rd 2100 after the Ugandan-Congolese War between Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo escalated and both sides brought in N.A.T.O and the Octuple Pact respectively. The world was divided into two camps for most of the war, the Allied Powers consisting of nations like Greatland and Sweden and the Octuple Pact consisting of nations like Algeria and South Africa.

The conflict was a major turning point in modern and military history up to that point as every nation threw their full industrial and national might, blurring the distinction between civilian and military resources. The war helped shape the future of warfare as new tank doctrines and modern offensive weaponry was used extensively in order to break the static trenches primarily used in World War 3 and World War 4. The switching of sides by S.F.R Yeetland also brought about an abrupt end to the Second Cold War as the two world superpowers were now finally at war with eachother after decades of military and diplomatic tensions.

At the start of the war, a victor couldn't be determined as the Octuple Pact were making swift advances and Greatland was taking too long to mobilize and industrialize their full economic might. The war later turned in favour of the Octuple Pact rather quickly in 2102 as Algeria utilized mechanized infantry and armoured tanks to their full potential using new military doctrines to pierce the Greatlandish lines in Nigeria and break the constant trench warfare on the front. The Democratic Republic of the Congo was forced to surrender after a three-pronged attack by the Octuple Pact codenamed Operation Lightning was successful and decimated the Congolese armies, kickstarting 3 years of bloody fighting in the Battle of Brazzaville which is often regarded as the *Stalingrad of Africa*

The conflict ended February 26th 2106 after the Treaty of Jakarta was signed which would change modern history forever. S.F.R Yeetland and the Socialist States of the Mediterranean ceased to exist as political entities in the aftermath of the war and many Octuple Pact members in Africa had their governments replaced and were granted self-determination. The war's aftermath fostered in a new golden age for Greatland known as the Pax Greatlandica. The balance of power in Europe was also reshaped with the fall of France and S.F.R Yeetland as Sweden and Germany filled in the void left by the two former powers. The war brought economic ruin to the former Octuple Pact countries while many countries apart of the Allied Powers experienced economic upturns and baby booms after the end of the war.

The legacy of World War 5 is remembered as the most impactful world war in all of modern history due to it's permanent change in the geopolitical landscape following the collapse of S.F.R Yeetland and the decline of Communism worldwide as a whole. It ended the Second Cold War and allowed for the rise of nations like Sweden and China onto the world stage. Many have called for a restoration of the Yeetish state which was somewhat achieved in the form of the modern [[Soviet Union (2110-2126]|Soviet Union]] before it was abolished in favour of the Russian Federal Republic. The instability left behind by the Treaty of Jakata would eventually trigger World War 6 in 2132.
