World War III (nov 21, 2026 – apr 3, 2053)

Description:

Fought between Anglo-Rus Alliance and the Eastern Coalition. Human casualties in North America and EU/Russia were around 600 million casualties, with billions of deaths and/or sterilizations in the Eastern Coalition countries. with 30 nuclear weapons in the 1-5Mt range being expended on the United States alone, by the "end of the war the US had expended all 5,000 of their nuclear arsenal, assuring lopsided depopulation. China and India suffered the most human losses, 1 billion and 1.25 billion respectively. 25th Century scans indicate a final death toll of 734.25 million dead for the ARA, and 6.11 billion deaths in the ECON countries. South America and countries in Western Africa largely stay neutral and unaffected due to recent recovery of centuries of colonization. Remaining Human population on Earth: 2.16 billion people

As opposed to the 23rd century theory that "Khan" Noonien Singh was a ruthless tyrant, Khan opposed nuclear war, assuming his "SHG" would face the Western "Green's Brigade", possibly supported by Western Armor, but why nukes? Why had both sides battled silently, behind the scenes to develop genetic manipulation?

Green on the other hand, relished the idea of "cleansing the sullied" the sullied being genetically created humans aka Khan and the "Immortals", and eventually any irradiated human. Green saw superior morality in the genetically "altered" soldiers, and used the complete nuclear arsenal of the US and Russia by the end of the war.

Most electronic data was destroyed due to the large amount of EM radiation from nuclear detonations. Very little details remain about this time period, any knowledge gleaned is from surviving paper books and manuscripts. ECON history is all but erased.
