World War III

World War III was a conflict that the students of Caird High School and the citizens of Astra considered to be the most important historical event in human history.

According to Astra's historical textbooks, the Soviet Union placed nuclear ballistic missiles in the country of Cuba in 1962. However, the upset Americans soon launched a naval blockade. With tensions skyrocketing, the Americans launched an airstrike on the Soviet base in Cuba, and the Soviets soon retaliated. On October 27, 1962, all our war broke out between the two sides, and eventually nuclear weapons were used in great numbers by both sides, leading to the death of billions and the destruction of most of the world.

The resulting outcome of World War III led the survivors to create a new united world government.
