The Fourth World War, also known as the War of Devastation was a world war fought in the early 2000's between two factions - the Pact of Solidarity and the Alliance of Steel. All of the world's major powers participated in the conflict, with many investing all of their resources into fighting the war. The war was largely a conventional one, as no side dared to fire any nuclear weapons for fear of retalitation and Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD).
Causes
Casus Belli
The causes of World War IV included the aggressive expansionist policies of Nazi SATO, as well as the growing mistrust between Eurasia and the Arab League, over the dispute on the ownership of Turkiye, which Eurasia currently controls following the Treaty of Thessaloniki, but the Arab League claims as rightfully Islamic territory under the control of the European Colonialists. Disputes between Eastasia and India, as well as Israel-Arab relations breaking down are also attributed to the cause of World War IV.
Eurasia - Arab League Tensions
Eurasian Premier Konstantin Ryazov repeatedly warned the Arab League to drop it's claims to Turkiye, or face "imminent destruction"
Situation between Israel and Palestine
Israel's continued violation of the rights of it's many Palestinian residents, as well as Syria and Lebanon's disastrous invasion of the country in the 1990 Syrilebanon-Israeli War enabling the Israeli state to claim many new territories, including cementing it's full control of the Golan Heights and Southern Lebanon following the Treaty of Saida in 1992. The Arab League, along with the African Union soon conducted it's total blockade of Israel, with the hope of starving Israel of resources. Tensions flared up in the eastern Mediterranean soon after, with repeated attacks on the Leviathan Natural Gas Field off the coast of the country, as well as increased Hamas prescence in the Gaza Strip.
Eastasia and India also had rough relations prior to the war, with India and Eastasia fighting over the territory of Arunachal Pradesh and Aksai Chin, as well as ownership of the State of Myanmar , with routine incidents of violence erupting in the region.
Rise of Neo-Nazism in S.A.T.O
SATO (originally called the Southern Atlantic Treaty Organization) had been slowly slipping into the ideals of Neo-Nazism, under it's dictator Adolfo Hernandez. In 1982, SATO passed the Law of Segregation, mandating the forced relocation and even genocide of it's "undesirable population", including Jews. Political analyst Yevgeny Urlashov, a renowned Eurasian Antifa, was one of the biggest voices spreading awareness on SATO's many violations of human rights and crimes against humanity.
1998 Coup of Myanmar
Daw Aung San Suu Kyi , a renowned Burmese human rights activist and fighter for democracy, couped the then Indian-controlled state of Myanmar, and establishing closer relations with Eastasia.
Myanmar's then leader, Kyaw Phyoe Pyae, was heavily pro-India and a supporter of Indian PM Waazir Gupta's government. India and Myanmar developed close relations, eventually leading to Myanmar's annexation into India in 1989. This was however, unpopular with the Burmese people, who were largely culturally and politically close with the Eastasian Federation, which led many to protest against Prime Minister Pyae, which led to brutal crackdowns by Burmese State Police.
Aung San Suu Kyi, the leader of the nation's National League of Democracy in Burma, soon launched a popular revolt in 1998, which ended in Pyae's resignation, and Myanmar's independence from India.
In 2000, Myanmar and China signed a treaty, officially incorporating Myanmar into Eastasia.
Deterioration of Eastasia-India Relations following Empress Xiao's Coronation
Following the 1989 Tiananmen Coup of the Chinese Communist Party, which led to Empress Xiao's coronation in Tiananmen Square on July 7th, 1989, it led to a deterioration of relations between the Federation of Eastasia and the Union of India, a nation largely opposed to her rule. Relations further tanked following the 1998 Myanmar coup, which India saw as just another attempt by Eastasia to encircle them.
The Himalayas also became an area of hot dispute between India and Eastasia, with both superpowers trying to exert their influence over the four small nations residing in it - Yangchenia, Gesaria, Bishnute and Ramlekia. Eastasian Influence largely wins over Yangchenia and Gesaria, Indian Influence in Bishnute, and Ramlekia remaining divided between them
Decline of the Western led Global Order
From 1900 - 1975, the West, united by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, largely dominated the world with it's global reach, controlling most of Europe, North and South America, Australia and influenced the Western Pacific.
