World War III (Scenario: Human Empire)

World War III was a global conflict that took place from 2020 to 2028, near the end of the pre-expansionist era of human history. It was sparked after the North Korean Missile Incident which took place on June 11, 2020. It was the most devastating war of the pre-expansionist era, killing over 3 billion people, drastically reducing the human population. Despite the fact that only 20 nuclear missiles were used in the war, it essentially left humanity in ruins, except for the Kingdom of America, which quickly gained essential global dominance through the HF (modeled after the UN, but was effectively a puppet of America), as one of the few countries left not economically and militarilly ruined by the war.
