World War III

The Third World War or World War III was a collection of large-scale global conflicts that took place from 2065 to 2069 between the Global Peace Treaty Organization, the Republic of India and its allies, and the Russo-Chinese Alliance. The war is generally considered to have begun in 2065, however, some historians argue that it begun in 2064 or even 2062, since those years saw the beginning of regional wars that contributed to the escalation of World War III.
