World War III is a worldwide conflict that was waged from August 5th, 2015 until January 2nd, 2018. It was noted for it's unprecedented ferocity and immense loss of life. With around five-hundred million men and women fighting all across the world, it is the largest war the world has ever seen. Ethnic and sectarian tensions in the Middle East turned into all-out war when a Saudi prince is assassinated by agents of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. A worldwide network of alliances leads to much of the world getting involved, and as a result the Middle Eastern conflict becomes a world war.
