'''Work in progress; far from finished. Also, I'll write a Dutch version next to the English one in a tabber so I can later port this to a Dutch site.'''



World War III, often referred to as The War on Freedom and The Conservation War, was a total world war that occured from early 2022 to the summer of 2028, which involved most of the world's nations split in two camps: The  Allies , who were fighting on the defensive and which included most of the Western world and their allies, and the  Entente , consisting mostly of islamic states, communist nations, dictatorships and human rights-violating countries with the goal of diminishing all Western influence on the globe, putting an end to American and European dominance, spreading communism, sharia law and their (often human rights-violating) traditions around the world and becoming the new unrivaled superpowers. Several unrecognized states additionally sided with the enemy of their "oppressor" in order to achieve independence.

The war is universally considered to have started on 3 March 2022, with the simultaneous surprise invasion of Taiwan, Hong Kong, Macau and Mongolia by China, that of Finland, Ukraine, Poland and the Baltic States by Russia and Belarus, that of the Kashmir by Pakistan and that of South Korea by North Korea. Several further invasions were carried out by the Entente in various regions on later dates.
