World War III

World War III, also known as the Third World War, was the third global conflict and the bloodiest war in human history. The war began on November 26, 2051, when the People's Republic of China launched attacks on American orbital stations, then began bombing American cities, and invaded Korea. The next day, Congress unanimously voted to declare war on China.

The war lasted 5 years and claimed over 100 million lives, and enveloped almost the entire world. Throughout the first half of the 21st Century, the nations of China and Russia rose to superpower status, and seemed bent on usurping the role as world leader from the United States of America, however, the United States refused to let this happen, despite the actions of some such as former president Barrack Obama (2009 - 2017), the US maintained its dominance. The Second Cold War and the presidency of Donald Trump proved that the US would not go down without a fight, and, with the Mars Landings and the establishment of Armstrong on the moon, the US was clearly ahead of its rivals.
