WWIII (Pancake301)

"The object of war is not to die for your country but to make the other bastard die for his."

- George S. Patton World War III was a conflict that involved every major military power in the world, and dozens of smaller powers.

Beginning
The war began when the United States was invaded by Russia. The attack was an attempt to pull itself out of the deep economic depression it was in at the time, and its leaders hoped that the war effort would pull them back to financial stability. Russia invaded by sending transport planes with infantry and light armor to several major cities, a few being New York, Philadelphia, Los Angelas, and San Francisco. Once the West Coast major ports were under Russian control they used them to bring over heavier supplies, such as T-90s. After several months of fighting the Russians were pushed off the continental United States and only had holdings left in Hawaii.

After this defeat Russia launched an invasion of Venezuela, hoping the oil could be sold to help with the economic depression, and also moved forces into Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. With the United States military weakened by the conflict with Russia China and North Korea invaded via the West Coast hoping to remove the country before it could regain its strength. The conflict was shorter then the one with Russia. After the United States was invaded by China and North Korea several European nations declared war on Russia for moving into the three countries, which is what made the conflict into a world war.

Once the Chinese and Koreans were pushed out the United States focused on pushing Russia out of Hawaii, which resulted in the largest battle of the War, the Battle of Hawaii. After the United States won this battle it turned its attention to Asia.
