World War III (Scenario: World War III in a Pearl World)

World War III (also known as the War to End All Wars or World War IV) is the name of a conflict that was fought entirely in 2021. The war lasted over a month, killing a total of 4 billion people. The war was the deadliest in human history, and considered one of the costliest. The War began after Russian forces invaded Ukraine.

War Begins
In April of 2021, Russian forces pushed through Ukraine and began their attack on Europe. NATO Forces were thrust into the defense as the Russian forces pushed through.

Poland held out longer than Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, which fell in days.

Russia meanwhile, also launched an attack on American forces in South Korea and Japan, with Chinese assistance.

President Biden immediately ordered airstrikes on North Korean nuclear sites, before they could launch their bombs, the attack did prevent any long range missiles from being launched.

U.S. forces along were stretched thin, as South Korea and Japan were on the verge of collapse.

Meanwhile, Russia began pressing through towards Germany. After pushing NATO from multiple sides, Biden ordered retalitatory nuclear strikes on Russian cities, first targeting Kaliningrad. The result led to Russia attacking the United Kingdom, then the United States. The conflict turned into an all out nuclear exchange wiping out 80% of the world's population, lasting merely hours before rendering the planet uninhabitable.
