The Human-Zombie War, also known simply as The Apocalypse or the Zombie War was a global war that began in the year 1969. It currently involves almost every nation on the globe, devastating large sections of the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa. Since the initial outbreak in 1969 the Zombie outbreak has spread all across the world, rallying support from many of the world's superpowers to end the Zombie Horde. It is perhaps one of the most widespread wars in history, comparable even to World War II.

| - The Human-Zombie War, also known simply as The Apocalypse or the Zombie War was a global war that began in the year 1969. It currently involves almost every nation on the globe, devastating large sections of the Americas, Europe, Asia, and Africa. Since the initial outbreak in 1969 the Zombie outbreak has spread all across the world, rallying support from many of the world's superpowers to end the Zombie Horde. It is perhaps one of the most widespread wars in history, comparable even to World War II. In a state of total war, the major participants placed their entire economic, industrial and scientific capabilities toward the cause of eradicating the undead, erasing social classes and fiat goods that had dominated the globe in the past. Much of society broke down into primitive barter-based economies, plagued by crime, disease, and conflict following the initial global infection. The role of the average citizen descended into a fight to survive and secure the most basic necessities. Widespread destruction engulfed much of the civilized world, meeting the downfall of globalization and world travel. Bombing campaigns and all-out invasions crippled the infrastructure of Europe and North America for decades to come. Millions of civilians were killed in the chaos, displacing many and creating an entire generation of refugees. The infection was born from the film Night of the Living Dead, by George A Romero, a classic undead movie of 1968. Shortly after the film's release a radical team of scientists from a pharmaceutical company in the United States secretly begin conducting experiments to replicate the Zombies in the movie, hoping to become rich from licensing the technology to be used as a biological weapon. The primitive virus would unknowingly contaminate the group, leading to the spread of the disease across the world. Initial American attempts to contain the infection failed, leading to much of the US Midwest being overrun within months. The Zombies would also spread to Mexico and Central America, where the infection would manifest and mutate. After a massive mobilization effort the United States managed to push the Zombies to the Mississippi River, which became the main front against the North American infection, through the Blockade Campaign. The infection would also appear in Europe and the British Isles through contact the scientists made there within a few months. Europe was heavily overrun, destroying entire cities of unsuspecting inhabitants. Communication between nations was severally broken down, and many nations were unable to mobilize in time to contain the infection. The fear of a nuclear exchange reached its height in the early months of the war. With Warsaw Pact and NATO missiles pointed at the other, the prospect of an accident strike was almost realized, if not for the efforts of several peacekeeping negotiations, including the Annapolis Conference. The fear of nuclear war would again be realized with the London War, in which the English threatened to pacify the British Isles with nuclear detonations. The Cold War would continue to play a large role in the war's outcome. American efforts in South East Asia were largely abandoned, and similar operations would be canceled. Cold War-era sentiment would largely slow the efforts of humanitarian aid and much needed support in Europe, and lead to the continent's slow downfall.
