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
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.
Eurasian Premier Konstantin Ryazov repeatedly warned the Arab League to drop it's claims to Turkiye, or face "imminent destruction"
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.
