The War of Defense, or World War III (Latin: Bellum Aegidis) was the third and most recent global military conflict. In essence, the war was a conflict between Socialism and Imperialism, the desire for rule by the people versus rule by an autocrat. The Confederacy of United Platonists considered it the last step in a World Revolution that would bring about everlasting world peace and prosperity. Their ideology required nothing less than an absolute hegemony for socialism.

  • The War of Defense, or World War III (Latin: Bellum Aegidis) was the third and most recent global military conflict. In essence, the war was a conflict between Socialism and Imperialism, the desire for rule by the people versus rule by an autocrat. The Confederacy of United Platonists considered it the last step in a World Revolution that would bring about everlasting world peace and prosperity. Their ideology required nothing less than an absolute hegemony for socialism. The Alliance of Earth saw nothing but the last straw in over half a century of rebellions in the name of some old philosophy. Both sides were absolutely certain they would win, and it wasn't until the Mongols' intervention that the balance finally tipped in the Alliance's favor. Although the Bellum Aegidis lasted only three years it saw the complete collapse of global Socialism and subjugation of the supporting populaces by the victorious Foedus Terrae. Under terms of the Treaty of Carthage, the Confederacy's members were kept in this repressed state until their separate deadlines arrived (from 1996 to 2002). Today, the Majapahijan Republic remains under the jurisdiction of the Roman military and expectations are pointing to deadline extension. The official start of the war is accepted as May 7, 1988 when the Danes fired a multi-megaton nuclear warhead at Rome itself. Fortunately, the Danes underestimated the capabilities of Roman satellite defenses and the city was spared. The Imperium and its allies immediately declared war. This event came at the time of a socialist revolt in Tawatinsuyu (the Inca Empire), in line with Confederate plans. Although the Alliance members were plagued by more rebellions for the duration of the war, forcing them to split their military forces, they emerged victorious on November 11, 1991 when the Confederacy issued its surrender in order to prevent the systematic destruction of all its member nations. Fighting during the war characterizes modern techniques for warfare: space-to-ground weapons; satellite surveillance; integrated levels of strategy; and heavy use of armored vehicles and aircraft. The ability to counter an enemies technology - such as jamming to block radar or lasers to destroy incoming missiles - was valuable, particularly in catching the enemy off-guard. Were it not for the Alliance's unwillingness to attack civilian targets, their superior technology would have undoubtedly won the war sooner.
