<br />
'''World War II''', or the '''Second World War''', (often abbreviated '''WWII''' or '''WW2''') was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations between [[ATLANTIS]] and [[PEACE]] members.<br />
<br />
The starting date of the war is December 7th, 2008 by [[Spain]]'s declaration of war to PEACE countries, but the war started after [[USA]], [[United Kingdom]], [[Canada]] and [[Sweden]] declared war on [[France]].<br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
<br />
The roots of the World War II were created after [[Brazil]] and [[Indonesia]] declared war against [[Argentina]]. Both armies retaliated when [[Argentina]] signed protection treaties with the [[United States of America]], [[United Kingdom]], [[Romania]] and [[Sweden]], among other countries.<br />
<br />
After a month or so of "cold war" activities, including Indonesia creating some market mayhem in Argentina, the [[ATLANTIS]] forces decided to [[ATLANTIS invasion of France|attack]] [[France]], claiming France was denying freedom to [[Switzerland]]. At the time, [[France]] was negotiating an independence treaty with Swiss representatives, led by [[Big Brother]] and [[Bremer]]. The plan was to give Switzerland independence back to the first Swiss region on Dec. 15th. [[ATLANTIS]] did not send any ultimatum to [[France]] and unilaterally decided to wage war against France.<br />
In the meantime, Argentinian forces assaulted Indonesia-occupied South Africa's [[Western Cape]], distracting the Indonesian army and allowing the other ATLANTIS countries to launch their attack on France.<br />
<br />
Sweden's official justification for the war is France's regions with high densities of wood. Other countries have been accused of waging the war for these reasons as well, though none have confirmed this. Coincidentally or not, the French regions first invaded had high densities of raw materials.<br />

[[World War V]] is a current inter-continental war that began in March of 2011. Though many countries have participated in the linked conflicts, the primary belligerents have all been members of the three active alliances that existed at the time, these being [[Terra]], [[ONE]], and [[EDEN]].<br />
<br />
The war initiated in Europe, but shortly thereafter would spread to North America. Eventually the war would enter South America, then Asia, Africa, and finally, Oceania. Though there would be primary theaters of battle, each of varying degrees, most countries throughout the world have participated through [[MPP|mutual protection pacts]] and associated alliances. <br />
<br />
== Background ==<br />
{{main|ONE|Terra|EDEN}}<br />
<br />
World War V developed during the later months of 2010 and early 2011 as a result of the changing nature of global alliances in the [[New World]]. This was attributed to by the dissolution of [[Phoenix]] and a dwindling membership in [[EDEN]].<br />
<br />
The earliest beginnings of the conflict were found in a MPP signed between [[Poland]] and [[Hungary]] and the rejection of a new MPP with [[Romania]] by Polish congress in January 2011<ref>[http://www.erepublik.com/en/Poland/law/63876 The rejected Romanian MPP]</ref><ref>[http://www.erepublik.com/en/Poland/law/64704 The accepted Hungarian MPP]</ref>. This ultimately put Poland in an awkward situation, as they were currently at war with Romania, another EDEN member. [[Spain]] was anticipated to follow Poland's lead, entering the new ONE Alliance alongside [[Serbia]] and [[Iran]]. As a result, Romania signed a MPP with [[Brazil]] and sent their troops to fight against Spain. This forced Spain to sign a MPP with Hungary. After that, an "Alliances split" began, with many members of both big Alliances (Phoenix and EDEN) leaving and looking for new friendships. <br />
<br />
In December of 2010 [[Terra]] (previously known as ''PANAM'') was created, and quickly developed good relations with EDEN states, though some members of both blocks were enemies at the time, such as [[Turkey]] vs. [[Greece]] and [[Romania]] vs. [[Russia]]. During this time Spain would sign a MPP with Serbia after leaving EDEN, and eventually [[ONE]] was declared an official alliance. <br />
<br />
As a result of the collapse of the Phoenix alliance the New World saw, for first time ever, three alliances each with considerable alliance-stacks. [[Russia]] and [[France]] went to Terra, but signed a Non-Agression Pact (''the Strasbourg Treaty'') with the [[UK]] and [[Germany]]. The [[Republic of Macedonia (FYROM)]] and a region-swapping [[Montenegro]] supported ONE, and Turkey (a former PANAM member), though previously neutral, also became pro-ONE.<ref>{{eLink|article|1725473|World War V? Yes}}</ref><br />
Although for some time many of the countries had maintained long-standing friendly relations with members of the opposition, eventually the two blocs would come to loggerheads in late March of 2011. <br />
<br />
=== The Tri-Alliance Cold War ===<br />
Following the collapse of Phoenix there was a brief Cold War that developed between the three alliances (ONE, Terra and EDEN), as each respectively gathered their alliance stacks, began forming more cohesive international and intra-member relations, and positioning their allies against their perceived enemies. This "Cold War" did included some physical battles like the resistance wars, opened by the US to regain control of Polish-held states such as [[Tennessee]], [[Illinois]], and [[Arizona]], forcing Poland to move to the south and take control of much of [[Mexico]].<br />
<br />
Rhetoric on both sides would permeate the global media as the war approached, with [[Serbia]] baiting the USA by claiming they wanted "free Texas", and [[Poland]] shifting its territories in Mexico to accommodate a potential attack upon [[North of Brazil]].<br />
<br />
During this time [[Spain]] would actually enter into South America through [[Venezuela]], raising some concern from [[Brazil]] and [[Argentina]].<br />
<br />
=== The Great Pacific Fire Drill (''aka Indonesia-USA War'') ===<br />
The first signs of an approaching war spreading outside of Europe were heard during the [[Indonesia-USA War]], in which [[Indonesia]], a country with strong ties to both ONE and Terra members, launched an unprovoked attack upon the [[USA]]. At the time, some feared that this conflict would precipitate a global conflict, despite the fact that Indonesia was not a formal member of ONE and still enjoyed relatively positive relations with significant portions of the US-backed Terra alliance, such as [[Argentina]] and [[Brazil]].<ref>{{eLink|article|1710974|Indo cannot into USA}}</ref><br />
<br />
The war would not prove to cause an outbreak of global hostilities, perhaps largely due to Terra members Brazil and Argentina taking a stance of non-involvement. At the same time, since Indonesia was not a ONE member, they too would ultimately gain little support from signer-states of that alliance. Eventually the Indonesia-USA War would run its course and end in a stalemate after both the USA and Indonesia continued respective counter-attacks against [[Papua]] and [[Hawaii]] in a [[wikipedia:Chinese fire drill|protracted battle cycle]] that lasted a little more than 20 days.<br />
<br />
The lack of external involvement by allies and stalled military advancements on both sides, allowed a brief period of peace for the remaining countries. However, this peace would be shattered when [[Poland]], a ONE signatory and charter member, would launch an aggressive attack against Terra-allied [[France]] and neighboring [[Germany]].<br />
<br />
From there, the dominoes would fall and the conflict would cross continental borders, sparking another World War.<br />
<br />
== Theaters of Operation ==<br />
The war would cross continental borders, first beginning in Europe, but shortly thereafter taking hold in North America. After weeks of fighting in Europe, ONE forces would gain the initiative and eventually invade South America as well. Eventually the war would spread to Asia as [[China]] came to the assistance of its European allies and [[Serbia]] invaded [[Russia]] in an attempt to capture territories in the east. By late April of 2011 the war had spread to Oceania as [[Indonesia]] attacked [[Australia]]. This, together with a [[South Africa]]n attack upon [[Brazil]], brought the war to every continent in the [[New World]], making the war officially global.<br />
<br />
=== Europe ===<br />
<br />
=== Poland ===<br />
In March, 2012, eCroatia and several other EDEN/Terra nations invaded ePoland. Due to a much larger opposing alliance and serious tanking from Croatian troops, ePoland's territories were lost quickly. This was a surprise attack, and a myriad of resistance wars are sparking up even now. --[[User:Daric LaRone|Daric LaRone]] 12:22, 16 March 2012 (PDT)<br />
<br />
==== Balkans ====<br />
{{main|Fourth Balkan War|Aegean War|ONE invasion of Bulgaria|Bulgarian Independence War|EDEN Invasion of Serbia|ONE invasion of Romania}}<br />
<br />
The Balkans are one of the major battlefields of World War V, with all countries in the general region having seen some action. [[Serbia]] and [[Hungary]] each had been in a long war with their respective hostile neighbors, [[Croatia]] and [[Romania]]. Both of these wars had resulted in a stalemate for some time, however, eventually both [[Serbia]] and [[Hungary]] began to push deep into their rival's territory.<br />
<br />
Eventually Croatia succumbed to the Serbian attack, with the country being conquered on April 2, 2011. This would free Serbia up to assist in further ONE-allied battles. Romania suffered heavy loses as well, as Hungary pushed deeper into their territory.<ref>{{eLink|article|1733250|War Report Day 1229}}</ref> Eventually both Croatia and Romania would fall as a result of the [[Fourth Balkan War]].<br />
<br />
Meanwhile, yet another Greece-Turkey war began, as Turkey slowly began to strengthen its ties with ONE, while Greece held an established EDEN seat. Turkey (Which had previously been conquered entirely by Greece) regained its regions back and then proceeded to conquering the Greek homeland.<br />
<br />
During the beginning of the Balkan War [[Bulgaria]] wasn't involved directly in the battles, but did help its allies through various [[Mutual Protection Pact]]s. During this time Bulgaria was already at war with Iran in its colonies in the Middle East. Eventually Bulgaria declared Turkey as a Natural Enemy after [[Marmara]] was conquered by Turkey again (thus creating a border between the two countries). After several battles the war approached a stalemate when both Serbia and the Republic of Macedonia(FYROM) declared Bulgaria as a natural enemy. Thereafter Bulgaria had to fight on four fronts; three in the Balkans, and one in the Middle East. Eventually Bulgaria would fall to the [[ONE invasion of Bulgaria]].<br />
<br />
After some time Croatia reemerged through resistance wars and attacked [[Montenegro]], fully conquering it on April 24, 2011. And though struggling, Romania would also slowly begin to liberate its regions being held under Hungarian occupation. Bulgaria would also reemerge during this time as it battled against ONE forces that had occupied the country, and eventually take the conflict to the [[Republic of Macedonia (FYROM)]] during the [[Bulgarian Independence War]].<br />
<br />
On 29 April 2011, [[Bosnia and Herzegovina]] launched a preemptive attack upon [[Serbia]] after word of an impending Serbian attack spread throughout Bosnia.<ref>[http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/filigree-pavements-ebosnia-need-help-free-food-for-fight-1760692/1/20 Filigranski Plocnici]</ref><br />
<br />
On 1 May 2011 [[Bulgaria]], [[Romania]] and [[Croatia]] had declared [[Serbia]] as Natural Enemy, starting a 4-front war on Serbia. Later [[Croatia]] conquered [[Belgrade]], [[Serbia]]'s capital.<br />
<br />
The [[EDEN invasion of Serbia]] would come close to conquering the nation, but Serbia was able to push the forces back before losing it last remaining region.<br />
<br />
As a result of continued pressure on Serbia, [[Poland]] and [[Hungary]] once again began attacks upon regional EDEN powers. In particular ONE initiated another attack upon EDEN during the [[ONE invasion of Romania]], this time with direct assistance of Poland after that country had secured territories during the [[Ukraine-Turkey War]] which had given Polish forces access to the Romanian homeland.<br />
<br />
The ONE invasion eventually led to Romania being conquered for a second time during World War V on May 29, 2011.<br />
<br />
==== Central Eastern Europe ====<br />
{{main|Serbia-Russia War|Ukraine-Turkey War|Turkey-Russia War}}<br />
<br />
At the outset of the [[Second Poland-Germany War]], [[Russia]] briefly engaged against [[Poland]] on the eastern front, though would be beaten back rather swiftly and geographically locked out of the conflict in the weeks to come. Russia would then only be able to engage their enemies through Mutual Protection Pacts.<br />
<br />
However, on April 18, 2011 [[Serbia]] launched an attack upon [[Russia]] by way of its occupied territories in occupied [[Bulgaria]], resulting in the [[Serbia-Russia War]].<br />
<br />
Some weeks after Serbia's failed invasion, the Central Eastern European Theater would erupt once again, largely as a result of [[Ukraine]] attempting to become more active in the global war.<br />
<br />
Ukraine had remained largely uninvolved in the war during the early days, but eventually did engage against [[ABC]] and [[ONE]] as part of the [[Second Baltic War]] (see below). However, once Ukraine had been blocked from further attacks on Baltic nations, it turned its attention south toward [[Turkey]]. This would eventually lead to the [[Ukraine-Turkey War]], during which the country of Ukraine was conquered by Turkish and ONE forces.<br />
<br />
After Ukraine fell, Turkey would continue to press the attack by invading [[Russia]] during the [[Turkey-Russia War]]. Russia was also at the same time embroiled in the then ongoing [[Second Baltic War]].<br />
<br />
After Ukraine would regain its independence, it would be shortly reconquered by Serbia, allowing it to border Russia once more. Serbia would move on to invade Russia, eventually giving it access to Asia once more.<br />
<br />
==== Italian Front ====<br />
{{main|Adriatic War}}<br />
<br />
As the war raged in Eastern Europe, the Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) launched an incursion into Italy from their rented colonies in occupied [[Montenegro]]. Eventually [[Slovenia]] would also attack Italy's northern regions once they had completed their engagements against an ultimately conquered [[Croatia]]. Italy was conquered on April 6, 2011. This allowed the Republic of Macedonia (FYROM) to gain territory within striking distance of the [[Third Spain-France War]] and the Western Front.<br />
<br />
==== Western Europe ====<br />
{{main|Second Poland-Germany War|Third Spain-France War|Portugal-Spain War|Brazil-Spain War|Mexico-Portugal War}}<br />
<br />
The Western Theater of World War V developed out of series of [[natural enemy]] proposals, the first of which was [[Poland]] against [[Germany]]. The latter country would also shortly thereafter propose a NE against the former on March 20, 2011. This was followed by a Polish assault on the German territory of [[Hesse]] on March 21, 2011.<br />
<br />
At the time Germany was in a training war with nearby [[France]], but quickly reordered its natural enemy to combat the encroachment. Germany had been contemplating membership in the [[Terra]] alliance in the days leading up to the attack, though would not become a signatory until the day of the Polish assault.<br />
<br />
Fearing a coordinated [[ONE]] attack upon western allies, France also declared Poland as a natural enemy on March 22, 2011 (after Germany had joined Terra) in an attempt to assist Germany, who had already lost Hesse and [[Lower Saxony and Bremen]]. France liberated Lower Saxony and Bremen on the 23rd of March, but would be unable to hold it due to a new Spanish threat.<br />
<br />
The following day [[Spain]] would enter into the conflict as a Polish ally, attacking and then securing [[Midi-Pyrenees]], forcing France to reorder its forces to combat the new threat. The two countries had already been fighting on and off for a weeks prior to the eruption of World War V.<br />
<br />
[[Brazil]] entered the war by attacking the [[Canary Islands]] on March 25th. It would then push further into the Spanish territories of [[Andalucia]], [[Murcia]], and [[Castilla La Mancha]] in the following days.<br />
<br />
[[Portugal]], a country which had a rocky relationship with Spain, officially entered the Terra alliance on March 30, 2011 after being in a training war with the [[USA]]. Portugal attacked Spain at the same time as Brazil, but after a few battles they would lose the borders with Spain. When Spain took Andalucia, both countries declared each other [[Natural enemy]], and Portugal finally disappeared.<br />
<br />
Around the same time as the initial Polish invasion of Germany, other [[ONE]]-allied countries would engage against [[EDEN]] members primarily in the east (''see [[Fourth Balkan War]]''). However, in the Western Theater, the [[Republic of Macedonia (FYROM)]] attacked [[Italy]], securing the territory of [[Apulia]] on March 22, 2011 and slowly began pushing further into the Italian homeland. Eventually [[Slovenia]] would also join the ONE-allied Italian front.<br />
<br />
On the 31st March, the [[United Kingdom]] declared [[Belgium]] as their Natural Enemy and attacked [[Flanders]] in an attempt to enter the front. Shortly before the attack Belgium signed MPPs with ONE allies<ref>{{eLink|article|1732283|Rzecznik Rządu#13: MON/moduł bitewny/eBelgia/eMeksyk/ONE/ABC}}</ref>, which coupled with the refusal of some soldiers to fight, allowed them to make a strong defense against the UK assault. Belgium would respond by attacking the UK homeland in the following days. As the war continued the UK's position in the war changed, with some citizens seeking to respond to provocation from nearby [[Ireland]]. The situation eventually resulted in a fracture within the joint Terra-EDEN alliance, ultimately leading to the UK choosing to leave the Terra alliance, drop out of the war and adopt a stance of alliance neutrality despite Irelands subsuquent attack upon her leading to the [[Second Anglo-Irish War]].<br />
<br />
As the war continued to rage, France was able to liberate many of the regions it had lost to ONE forces, but Germany's liberation would take much longer and met with far more difficulty.<br />
<br />
On June 18th, [[Mexico]] attacked [[Azores]], [[Portugal]] in attempt of gaining access to Europe to their closest friend, [[Spain]].<br />
<br />
==== Baltic States ====<br />
{{main|First Baltic War|Second Baltic War}}<br />
<br />
The [[First Baltic War]] war was started on the same day of the creation of the [[Alliance of Baltic Countries]]. The ABC alliance wanted to make the most of the resources around them; thus both [[Lithuania]] and [[Latvia]] declared [[Belarus]] as their natural enemy. After three days of fighting [[ABC]] won the battle and wiped Belarus off the map.<br />
<br />
On April 29, 2011 the Baltic Front would ignite for a second time during the war, with [[Ukraine]] and [[Russia]] attacking regions in Belarus that had been conquered by [[ABC]] some weeks earlier. This renewed fighting would also pull [[Sweden]], by then a new member of [[ONE]], into the conflict.<br />
<br />
As a result of Sweden's entry into the war, [[China]] would also enter the war on May 3, 2011 by using territories that had been occupied during the [[Serbia-Russia War]]. Sweden had attempted to expel China from the region through a resistance war in [[Northern Russia]], but were unsuccessful. This would open up yet another front in the [[Second Baltic War]]. However soon [[Lithuania]], the major [[ABC]] force was wiped out the world map and fire stopped with status quo for a month.<br />
<br />

On March 25, 2011 the [[USA]] launched an attack upon the [[Poland|Polish]]-held regions of [[Mexico]], beginning in the [[Southeast of Mexico]]. The territory was conquered swiftly, allowing USA to press the initiative further into Polish held territory.<br />
<br />
The conflict was a result of the USA's membership in the [[Terra]] alliance. A few days earlier Poland had attacked [[Germany]] and [[France]], resulting in the United States feeling obligated to assist their allies against the ONE aggression.<br />
<br />
This war was marked the first time that ONE and Terra member-states would engage outside of specific regional zones (particularly Europe), indicating the war had become officially intercontinental, and global by countries involved both supporting and actively fighting.<br />
<br />
The USA was ultimately unsuccessful in ousting Poland from occupied Mexico. As a result, they had to shift their attention to helping Brazil and France as both countries took heavy loses in Western Europe. Their first attack was upon the Spanish-held territory [[Galicia]], which was accessed by way of [[Portugal]].<br />
<br />
After days of fighting in Europe, Terra forces repelled out of Spain. This was followed by a two-pronged Spanish attack against [[Maryland]] in North America and [[North of Brazil]] in South America on April 6, 2011. Spain conquered Maryland on April 7, 2011.<br />
<br />
In response, the USA launched a second attack upon [[Galicia]], but it was be repelled. Eventually this allowed Spain to attack [[Alentejo]], the last remaining USA territory in Europe, and force the USA out of Europe on April 10, 2011.<br />
<br />
In addition to the Spanish occupation of Maryland, on April 12 the USA would face additional fronts in an invasion by Poland in the continuing [[USA-Poland War]], and a new attack by [[Mexico]] during the [[Mexico-USA War]]. Poland attacked [[Delaware]] and Mexico attacked [[New Mexico]]. Meanwhile, [[Canada]] took occupation of the former USA Capital of [[Florida]], [[Pennsylvania]], and [[New Jersey]] during a Terra alliance-backed deal to limit the expansion of ONE forces into the USA Eastern Seaboard. The US Capital was thereafter moved to [[California]].<br />
<br />
By April 14, 2011 the USA was split as Spanish and Mexican forces met at the Mississippi River. This effectively cut off the Western States and the US Capital from the South and New England.<br />
<br />
On April 16th the USA and its allies launched a series of successful counter-attacks that pushed all but the Polish forces out of North America by April 18th. However, ONE forces continued to attack the newly liberated territories and successfully once again regained a foothold in the USA, thereby beginning a second phase in the invasion.<br />
<br />
During this second phase, Spain reentered the USA mainland and began to swiftly move deeper into the USA, primarily the South. As Spain continued to press further inland, its forces eventually reached the Mississippi River for a second time on April 23, and shortly thereafter launch an attack against [[Missouri]]. Meanwhile, Mexico occupied [[Arizona]] and pushed northward to [[Nevada]]. At the same time US resistance forces were finally successful in removing Poland from the Eastern Seaboard, and despite Spanish and Mexican encroachment, focused the American war effort on assisting Brazil in its struggling [[Poland-Brazil War]].<br />
<br />
After the Polish defeat in Brazil, the United States launched a two-pronged counter-offensive against both Spain and Mexico, beginning the process of liberating its original regions and then invading Mexico itself for the first time during the war.<br />
<br />
Eventually Spain was expelled from North America, with the exception of an isolated hold-out in [[Indiana]], and Mexico would be significantly reduced in size as the two forces clashed deep in the interior of the Mexican homeland.<br />
<br />
The Mexico-USA War came to a close on May 20, 2011 with a Mexican surrender and a peacefully agreed upon annexation of the territories of [[Baja]] and [[Southeast of Mexico]] to the USA.<br />
<br />
The USA-Spain War continued as Spain invaded the USA a third time. On June 18, 2011 joint ONE forces from [[Spain]], [[Sweden]], [[Poland]], [[Hungary]], and aligned-[[Indonesia]], launched an unprecedented five-front [[ONE World Tour|invasion]]. The invading armies moved swiftly through the regions that had not been occupied by Spain, placing the USA in the precarious position of being fully conquered for the first time in New World history. As the war continued, it would also spread into an invasion of Canada. The two defending countries eventually fell. They have since regained their territories. As of January 2012, Canada, France and Ireland have conquered the UK and the US and Argentina have begun the 4th invasion into Spain.<br />
<br />
=== South America ===<br />
{{main|Brazil-Spain War|Poland-Brazil War}}<br />
<br />
After sustained fighting in Europe during the [[Third Spain-France War]], Spain defended its homeland against Terra forces, eventually pushing them off the continent. This would allow Spain to once again secure the [[Canary Islands]] and then eventually attack the strategically important territory of [[North of Brazil]] on April 6th. This would be the first time the belligerents openly engaged in South America in non-Resistance War conflict, broadening the war to yet another continent.<br />
<br />
On the same day Spain would also attack the [[USA]] territory of [[Maryland]].<br />
<br />
Spain would briefly conquer North of Brazil and then launch a further attack into [[Center West of Brazil]], which was repelled. Brazil would then begin a counter attack, reconquering its lost territory and then once again push back into Spain through the Canary Islands.<br />
<br />
After repeated failed attempts by both forces to make long-term territorial gains, [[Poland]] took charge of the conflict by securing the [[Canary Islands]] through its territories in [[Mexico]]. This would eliminate a shared border between Brazil and Spain, limiting Spain's role on the front and putting Poland on the front lines, initiating the [[Poland-Brazil War]].<br />
<br />
On April 24th, Brazil successfully expelled Poland from all of its regions, and in the process removed Poland from the Western Hemisphere for the first time since 2010.<br />
<br />
Months later, June 21st, Peru would regain its independence from Argentina and Brazil. Spain used this as a springboard, and a joint invasion of Brazil and Argentina commenced. Argentina lost all of its colonies along the west coast of South America, and was even nearly conquered itself. Brazil's original regions would be completely taken from Spain. After successful RW's in mainland Brazil, the country launched an offensive on Spain. As a result Spain quickly lost regions because of the American/Brazilian assault, leaving Spain only with its capital.<br />
<br />
==== Africa ====<br />
After the [[Poland-Brazil War]], Brazil would counter-attack an invasion by [[South Africa]], who had taken the Polish invasion as an opportunity to liberate its original regions and then pursue an attack against the Brazilian mainland. This was quickly dealt with by [[Brazil]]<br />
<br />
=== Asia ===<br />
{{main|China-Iran War|Serbia-Russia War}}<br />
<br />
The first full engagement between the alliances would come when [[China]] launched an invasion of [[Iran]] in an attempt to assist [[EDEN]] allies after they had suffered severe loses during the [[Fourth Balkan War]], [[Adriatic War]], and the [[ONE invasion of Bulgaria]].<br />
<br />
Shortly thereafter Serbia would attack Russia starting the [[Serbia-Russia War]]. After swift victories in Russia's western regions the war would spread to Asia as Serbian forces pushed to [[Far Eastern Russia]], providing the country with a doorway to open yet another front in North America.<ref>[http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/days-7-amp-8-one-counterattacks-the-situation-worsens--1754199/1/20 American Sentinel, Day 1249]</ref> <br />
<br />
Unfortunately, Serbia's plan to invade the [[United States of America|USA]] through [[Alaska]] was spoiled, when they later lost 3 consecutive campaigns against [[China]]. Since then, [[Serbia]] retreats back to Balkan.<br />
<br />
On June 11, 2011, Serbia would reach China through Russia and begin the war with a win in Inner Mongolia. Hungary, through Kyushu, with which it had gained a border due to the invasion of USA, also joined the invasion. Lastly, Iran would go through the Chinese-occupied Pakistani regions and join as the third invader.<br />
<br />
=== Oceania ===<br />
{{main|Third Indonesia-Australia War|Argentina-New Zealand War}}<br />
<br />
During the war [[Indonesia]] would attack [[Australia]], initiating the [[Third Indonesia-Australia War]]. Though Indonesia was not an official member of ONE and still maintained a positive relationship with some Terra states, the war against [[Australia]] would represent yet another attack upon the last remaining EDEN member-states. The war, which began on April 18, 2011, was another in a long line of clashes between both countries dating to as far back as 2007.<br />
<br />
On May 13, 2011, [[Argentina]] attacked [[New Zealand]] in the [[Argentina-New Zealand War]]. Though New Zealand and [[Chile]] had been warring for weeks prior, the inclusion of [[Terra]]-allied Argentina would bring yet another multinational conflict to Oceania.<br />
<br />
=== Independent Conflicts ===<br />
During the war several nations not allied to [[EDEN]], [[ONE]], or [[Terra]] would also engage in wars with members of the above alliances, as well as with non-allied nations. <br />
<br />
==== Regional Conflicts ====<br />
*During the war [[Thailand]] would attack [[Indonesia]] and meet strong resistance followed by heavy counter-attacks.<br />
*[[Indonesia]] would also engage against [[EDEN]]-allied [[China]] potentially spreading the war into Asia.<br />
*[[China]] and [[Japan]] would also enter into skirmishes, the first time EDEN and Terra member-states clashed during the war.<br />
*[[Ukraine]] would liberate a number of [[Russia]]n occupied territories during the [[Serbia-Russia War]], though would not pursue hostilities beyond securing their original territories.<br />
*[[Israel]] would attack [[United Arab Emirates]] during the war in [[Operation Leaven Elimination]] on April 14, 2011. While neither country was in a global alliance, [[Israel]] was backed by [[EDEN]] and [[Terra]] forces, while UAE was backed by [[ONE]] states.<br />
*Amidst internal political turmoil due in part to the [[Second Anglo-Irish War]], the country of [[Ireland]] would begin a series of friendly region-swaps with [[Canada]] as charges of a [[political takeover]] of Ireland was levied against [[UK]] citizens. The end result would be the UK disengaging its membership in [[Terra]] on April 25, 2011 and adopting a stance of nuetrality.<ref>[http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/united-kingdom-has-been-proposed-as-natural-enemy--1757345/1/20 USA natural enemy UK - Emerick]</ref><ref>[http://www.erepublik.com/en/article/friendly-fire-in-the-war-on-terra-1757917/1/20 Friendly Fire in Terra - MrWoldy]</ref><br />
*[[China]] would wipe out [[Thailand]] and then attack [[Sweden]] through [[Northern Russia]] as part of the [[Second Baltic War]] (see above), the first time [[China]] enters Europe in history.<br />
