User:Withersoul 235/Sandbox: World War III (Alternate)

This page is not made to make sense. It's an experiment, in which — just like eg. World War III (Discord: Map Game) — all modern alliances are ignored, as are lots of logic. This is a purely random project done for fun.

World War III occured in the Monalutionary timeline from April 2029 to October 2036, fought worldwide between two opposing coalition: The Allies, led by the United States, British Commonwealth, Benelux Confederacy, Portugal, Russia, China, India, Indonesia and Greece, against the Unity Covenant led by the French Empire, Holy Roman Empire of Germany, Brazil, the Third Mexican Empire, the Tsardom of Polesia, Spain, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Mongolia and unified Korea.

The war swung a wave of destruction over the world and started a new era, in which the world was slowly rebuilt. The United Nations was dissolved over the course of the war, and the Interational Cooperative Union (ICU; pronounced as "IQ") was set up in its place.

After millions of casualties and endless fighting, World War III ended in a strategic stalemate on 15 October 2036, when both sides were exhausted from the war and sued for peace. The Allies defeated the Covenant in Spain, Indonesia, the Balkan and the Middle East. Likewise, the Covenant emerged victorious in India, East Asia, Latin America and Russia. The fighting in Africa wound up a draw, with the Arab countries dissolved by the Allies but the Union of Nigeria and the South African Federation left undefeated. The theaters in the Low Countries and Central Europe ended in an inconclusive peace, with both coalitions claiming victory.

Background
Starting in 2024, several monarchist, irredentist and imperialist organisations in a myriad of countries rapidly overthrew the republican governments in a sequence soon dubbed the Mona Wave, some of which led to the restoration of long lost monarchies.

One of the most shocking was the one that overthrew France in 2026, and led to the establishment of the French Empire. This empire considered itself as the true successor to Napoleon's First French Empire, and hence called itself the Second French Empire. The empire was very clearly imperialist from the start and rumors said it held territorial ambitions towards the Benelux. Belgium started mobilizing its troops towards the French borders expecting an attack to eventually commence.

In June 2027, tensions between the Benelux and French Empire were at their highest after the Adinkerke Incident, where a shootout emerged between opposing military units from both sides in the town of Adinkerke, near De Panne, West Flanders. This incident, which was later pointed about to be staged by France to give them an excuse, culminated in the French invasion of Belgium, which shocked the whole world.

The French started marching towards Brussels by July until peace was ordered by the British, who forced the French to leave Belgium. This incident was the breaking point for the Low Countries, who decided to bundle their forces by joining in a confederal system referred to as the Benelux Confederacy. Following this, the Benelux rapidly started militarizing and experienced an economic and technological boom.

Meanwhile in Germany, the party Alternative fur Deutschland overthrow the state and installed a government bent on recreating the Holy Roman Empire, and in Spain the Vox overthrew the government and turned the country in a totalitarian dictatorship. Both nations rapidly militarized.

After more than a dozen other coups, the world had lost its stability. North Korea had collapsed and was seized by South Korea. South Korea was then under the rule of an irredentist body, who became crazy with power and turned their eyes to Manchuria.

In 2026, Lukashenko had fallen in Belarus, and the new Ukrainian government was highly anti-Russian. Both countries had joined the imperialist truck, and opted to enter a personal monarchic union called the Tsardom of Polesia, with Fedor Kozel crowned as Tsar and his family made the Imperial family. The country quickly upgraded their armed forces to repel the expected Russian invasion.
