Pre-war events
Course of the War
War breaks out in the Middle East (Apr. 7th, 2061 - Apr. 10th, 2061)
Sudden attacks against Israel
At about 3AM (Israeli Summer Time, UTC+3) on Apr. 7th at least 5 nukes were detonated at the border between Israel and Palestinian West Bank, two near East Jerusalem, one near Beersheba and two near Tel Aviv-Yafo. At the same time one nuke was detonated in Aqaba, Jordan right at the Israeli border.
It was unclear who was even behind the initial attacks. Some suggested that it was caused by some Islamist group. Others believed that some alliance of Middle Eastern governments was behind the attack. A few even believed that Neo-Nazis were behind the attack with the intent to depopulate the Middle East. The actual culprits may never be known. However what's clear was that Israel was completely paralyzed while asleep and that there was no ostensible conflict that could lead to this attack.

Destruction of invading troops
Ethnobioweapon strike against Israel
Total destruction of the Middle East and North Africa
Total destruction of the Middle Eastern diaspora
Global Depopulation (Apr. 11th, 2061 - Apr. 14th, 2061)
Spread of WWIII to East Asia
Things got completely out of hand by 2PM (UTC+0) on the 11th. At about 1:48PM the internet in Japan suddenly broke down. 1 minute later 3 nukes destroyed Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya almost simultaneously. Military robots in Japan were suddenly activated and retaliated against China, Russia and Korea simultaneously. Meanwhile people in Japan began to die en masse for unknown reasons. WWIII archaeologists currently believe that at least 4 ethnobioweapons from at least 3 different sources were the culprits.
Korea and China almost immediately began to suffer from nuclear attacks
Spread of WWIII to Europe, Oceania and North America
Spread of WWIII to South Asia
The Global Blackout
Within 5 hours all major powers were engaged in WWIII. The next three days of world history were largely unknown as events happened within a very short period of time,
Between 7:28PM (UTC+0) on Apr. 11th when the last vestiges of the Internet died out and 3:12AM (UTC+0) on Apr. 14th when the first Indian warplane ventured to Afghanistan accidentally and found it entirely depopulated not much was known about the world in depopulated regions. Even in regions such as South Asia it was mostly known as a period when a lot of people died and life was utterly chaotic. Only in Sub-Saharan Africa and certain Pacific Islands was that period merely confusing or even normal.
