Third World War (Infinity)

"We knew the time would come; we didn't think that would be how it started, though."

- Anonymous Canadian officer

The Third World War, alternatively known as World War III (often abbreviated as, was a planet-engulfing conflict that took place on Earth during the early twenty-first century.

At the time of its taking place, the Third World War was the largest conflict of all time, in terms of forces mobilized (the death toll was actually lower than that of the Second World War). The war itself began with Operation CLOCKWORK LIBERTY, a botched attempt by United States and Canadian special forces to investigate reports of American tourists being held prisoner within the new Soviet capital of Vladivostok. In the days following, a number of military alliances were formed and the world was quickly blanketed by war.
