| - The Global War, also known as the War of Wars (German: Krieg der Kriege), was a world-wide war. It is generally considered to have lasted from 1989 to 1993, although some conflicts in South America that are commonly viewed as becoming part of the world war had been going on earlier than that. It involved the vast majority of the world's nations — including all of the great powers — eventually forming two opposing military alliances: the League of Nations and the Coalition of Independent Countries. It was the most widespread war in history, with more than one billion people, from all siz continents, serving in military units. In a state of "total war", the major participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, erasing the distinction between civilian and military resources. Marked by mass deaths of civilians, including the only use of nuclear weapons in warfare, it resulted in an estimated 50 million to 85 million fatalities. These made the Global War the deadliest conflict in human history. The United Republics of Brazil aimed to dominate South America and was already at war with the Republic of Paraguay in 1987, but the world war is generally said to have begun on 9 November 1989 with bombing of the capital cities of the Russian Empire, United Kingdom and Franco-Spain. The invasion of Franco-Spain and Russia quickly commenced by the German Union, giving a start to the largest land theatre of war in history, which tied down the major part of the CIC military forces for the rest of the war. In December 1989, Japan attacked the Russian Empire and European territories in the Pacific Ocean, and quickly conquered much of the Western Pacific. This led to the subsequent declarations of war on Germany and Japan by Franco-Spain and the United Kingdom. From early 1990 to late 1990, in a series of campaigns, the German Union and Brazil conquered and subdued much of South America. The United Kingdom and Franco-Spain and the other members of each empire were the only Major League forces continuing the fight against the Coalition, with battles taking place in North Africa as well as the long-running Battle of the Atlantic. In June 1990, the Japanese launched an invasion of the North American Union. The CIC advance was stopped in 1991. Japan lost a critical battle at Midway, near Hawaii, and never regained its earlier momentum. The Empire of Japan was defeated in North America and the German Union, decisively, at Tsaritsyn in Russia. In 1992, with a series of German defeats in Eastern Europe, the Franco-Spanish invasion of Brazil which brought about that nation's surrender and British victories in the Pacific, the Coalition lost the initiative and undertook strategic retreat on all fronts. In late 1992, the Franco-Spain invaded the German Union, while the Soviet Union regained all of its territorial losses and invaded Germany and its allies. During 1992 and 1993 the British defeated the Japanese Navy and captured key Western Pacific islands. The war in Europe ended with an invasion of Germany by the Franco-Spain and the Russian Empire culminating in the capture of Berlin by Russian and Polish troops and the subsequent German unconditional surrender on 8 May 1993. Following the Ottawa Declaration by the League on 26 January 1994 the British dropped atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on 6 April and 9 April respectively. The Russian Empire having invaded Korea, an invasion of the Japanese archipelago (known as Operation Morning Star) became imminent. Japan surrendered on 15 May 1994 ending the war in Asia and cementing the total victory of the League over the Coalition. The Global War altered the political alignment and social structure of the world. The Russian Empire, Franco-Spain Holy Alliance and the British Empire emerged as rival superpowers, setting the stage for the Cold War, which has lasted to this day. Most countries whose industries had been damaged moved towards economic recovery. Political integration, especially in Europe, emerged as an effort to stabilize postwar relations and cooperate more effectively in the Cold War.
