World War III

World War II was a 4-year-long world war that lasted from 2177 to 2181.

Causes
After the Second Cold War ended in 2066 the Russian Federation turned into the Russian Communist Union, a neo-Soviet Union state.

The Ukraine Situation grew worse, and the United States, Canada and England began to pump for troops into Ukraine. Russia, in turn, sent more troops to help the Crimea Separatists.

Russian Attack
The world feared a third world war for many years but unlike the Cold War, this one didn't envole nuclear weapons.

Then, in May of 2177 the world's worst fears were realized:

Russia attacked Kiev, Ukraine's capital city. Immediately the Americans, Canadians and British responded.

The US, Canadian and British congresses declared war on Russia.

Soon countries began taking sides.

The Federal Republic Of Germany, Finnish Republic, Swedish Republic, Republic Of Australia and dozens of US-allied nations joined in on the US's side. US and Canadian forces moved towards the Russia-Ukraine boarder as they drove the Russians out of Crimea.
