| abstract | - World War III (abbreviated WWIII or WW3, also referred to as Third World War) is a global war that lasted from October 19 to October 30 of the current year of the Toaru Majutsu no Index timeline, as well as its last story arc, spanning Volumes 20, 21 and 22. Although lasting briefly, the war mostly involved two opposing great powers and alliances of Academy City, against the Russian Federation, controlled by the Roman Catholic Church. The Roman Catholic Church, under the influence of God's Right Seat, manipulated events in order to ensure Russia's alliance with it, specifically that of the Russian Orthodox Church. France sided with the Roman Catholic Church due to its long held animosity against the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, who were allies of Academy City. The United States of America were the only ones left out. As they were gearing up for it, the war ended before they could pick a side. However, the war was actually part of the plan of Fiamma of the Right, manipulating the great Churches and even God's Right Seat to do his bidding. Due to the forces that are composed in the war, it marks the first conflict that both the Magic and Science Sides have been trying to prevent since even before the start of the story. The story arc focuses on the three protagonists, Kamijou Touma, Accelerator, and Hamazura Shiage, heading deep into Russia in order to save the one they hold dear just as the entire world plunges into a Third World War. In order to save Index, Touma is hunting down God's Right Seat member Fiamma of the Right, the man who stole the spiritual device that controls Index and now has sparked a global conflict in order to fulfill his ambitions.
