World War VI began on May 25th, 2013 with Icon-Slovenia.png Slovenia, a member of TWO, declaring war on Icon-Switzerland.png Switzerland, a member of CoT [1]. These two alliances are the main belligerents, with many small alliances taking sides.

Background

After the fall of EDEN, tensions rose between CoT and TWO, alliances that originally had been allied against EDEN. Without a common enemy, and with former EDEN members seeking new allies, war became inevitable. The acceptance of the eUSA into CoT proved to be the beginning of the end for the CoTWO alliance, as the US continued to be hostile towards TWO nations. The movement of Romania into TWO's sphere of influence provoked anger from the Bulgarians, as well as internal strife in several TWO countries, in particular Spain, the UK, and Hungary. Following that, Romania settled quite hardly into the TWO alliance structure. To the north, Lithuania, a member of CoT, left the alliance and joined ACT.

The smaller alliances also chose sides in the conflict. Asgard, an alliance which was attacked by TWO on many occasions sided with CoT, while NaN, some of whose members were regularly occupied by CoT nations, declared neutrality, alltough Australia has been involved in the war.

The war initiated in Europe, but has continued to spread to North and South America, eventually reaching a global scale.

Causes

1. Breakup of EDEN: Prior to WW6, there was an unnamed, worldwide conflict against EDEN launched by TWO and CoT, who had allied against a common enemy. After about a year of co-operation, EDEN finally dissolved as a result of disunity between members, an ineffective HQ, and an almost un-interrupted string of defeats by CoTWO. Almost immediately, TWO and CoT became more distant, as each alliance absorbed EDEN and EDEN supporting countries into their damage pool. It became inevitable that a war would occur, as there has never been a time where the two biggest alliances and their client alliances did not go to war eventually. A cold war was brewing.

2. USA-AIM: What would prove to be one of the biggest causes of the war was initially a celebration of EDEN. After EDEN formally dissolved, pro-EDEN countries supported RWs in Polish and Spanish territories. Out of this, the USA-AIM project was conceived. The goal was to support RWs in Spanish, Serbian and Polish regions, disrupting trade and making TWO waste damage. This situation became a major annoyance for the major powers of TWO.

3. AMP PTO: For several months prior, the US had been at risk of a PTO by the AFA. Through controlled elections, the threat was contained for many months, and indeed, appeared to be winding down somewhat. However, in the May Congress elections, the leader of the AMP revealed himself to be a Serbian sleeper agent who rose up through the ranks of the AMP over several months. Although the anti-PTOers were able to keep the AMP and AFA from getting too many congressmen, the situation resulted in much anger towards TWO, and in particular Serbia. In response, an NE was launched by eUS congressmen at Serbia, starting the war.


Main articles: TWO, Circle of Trust, and World War V

Theaters of Operation

The war would cross continental borders, first beginning in Europe, but shortly thereafter would spread to the Americas.

Europe

The war began in Europe with Slovenia attacking Switzerland. Italy, a neutral country took advantage of the situation and started Resistance Wars against Slovenian occupied territory. Seeing the opportunity, CoT quickly backed Italy, hoping to take pressure off of Switzerland. With tensions between TWO and CoT already high, the war was about to begin.

Northern - Eastern Europe

With the war breaking out in the west, TWO and CoT members of Eastern Europe quickly became involved. Icon-Hungary.png Hungary declared war on Icon-Russia.png Russia. Seeking to aid their TWO allies, Icon-Lithuania.png Lithuania and Icon-Latvia.png Latvia declared war on Russia as well. Sensing that their allies needed help Icon-Germany.png Germany became involved, declaring war on Lithuania. TWO was not deterred and had the Icon-United Kingdom.png United Kingdom declare war on Germany. A full out war was beginning to break out in Europe.
Before the war officially began, Lithuania alongside Latvia and Estonia(formerly known as ABC) launched attacks on Asgard members Sweden and Finland on multiple occasions. In retaliation Sweden declared war on Lithuania to help Russia(Sweden and Norway had rental agreements on core Swedish and Norwegian regions prior the war)

Balkans

Greece, now Pro-TWO since leaving EDEN has established dominance over former Macedonian and Bulgarian regions, potentially ending the never-ending Balkan wars. Romania, also Pro-TWO proposed an airstrike on Mexico, seeking to aide their allies in South America and to set up for a potential four way invasion of the USA. (Hungary from Russia, Serbia/Poland/Spain from Europe/Canada and Romania from Mexico.)

Middle East

CoT members Icon-Bulgaria.png Bulgaria and Icon-Republic of Macedonia (FYROM).png Republic of Macedonia (FYROM), who had moved their capitals to the Middle East due to dominance of Greece and Romania in their homeland Balkans experienced attacks by Turkey. Turkey attacked Macedonia trough Iran and the United Arab Emirates, who were also at war with Macedonia prior the war.

Asia

China and Indonesia have training war. China has not alligned with either CoT or TWO and declared neutrality.
Before the war Icon-Republic of China (Taiwan).png Republic of China (Taiwan) (then EDEN member) had wars with South Korea and Japan during late 2012 and early 2013. Due to these wars, Taiwan sided with TWO.

North America

Icon-USA.png USA decided to defend its ally and declared war to Icon-Serbia.png Serbia in response to the official declaration of the World War by Icon-Slovenia.png Slovenia over Icon-Switzerland.png Switzerland.

South America

Chile and Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil
