- For reasons originally unknown, a drastic, sudden climate change occurred in early 2035 ; rumored to have been the result of an attempted reversal of the effects of global warming, global temperatures suddenly experienced an immense drop, resulting in entire continents beginning to freeze over. Ice storms ravaged central Africa, glaciers began spreading across western Europe, and the entirety of the world began experiencing freezing weather, from the American Southwest to the Middle East, from China to Ghana, north to south, east to west- not a single country remained unaffected.

- For reasons originally unknown, a drastic, sudden climate change occurred in early 2035 ; rumored to have been the result of an attempted reversal of the effects of global warming, global temperatures suddenly experienced an immense drop, resulting in entire continents beginning to freeze over. Ice storms ravaged central Africa, glaciers began spreading across western Europe, and the entirety of the world began experiencing freezing weather, from the American Southwest to the Middle East, from China to Ghana, north to south, east to west- not a single country remained unaffected. Global unrest followed in the weather's wake. Limited to major riots in small northward or southward nations at first, the Winter Epidemic as it became known would soon wreak enough havoc to lead these nations to run panicked expansionist invasions of neighboring countries in their attempts to secure usable land, hopefully safe from the advancing ice. While the Winter Epidemic's early months only created such events among smaller nations, it would later give rise to expansionist tensions between Europe and China, which would later drag the entire world into a third great war.

- =World War III = World War III, or the Third World War (often abbreviated as WW-III or WW-3), was a global military conflict lasting from 1989 to 2001, which involved most of the world's nations, including all of the great powers, organized into two opposing military alliances: the US-led NATO Alliance and the Soviet-led Warsaw Pact. It was the most widespread war in history, with more than 550 million military personnel mobilized. In a state of "total war," the major participants placed their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities at the service of the war effort, erasing the distinction between civilian and military resources. Marked by significant events involving the mass death of civilians, including the Israeli Massacre and the most prominent use of nuclear weapons in warfare, it was the deadliest conflict in human history resulting in 100 million to over 250 million fatalities. The war is generally accepted to have begun on 23 December 1989, with the invasion of West Germany by a coalition of Soviet-led Warsaw troops and subsequent declarations of war on the Warsaw’s by NATO. The Soviets had set out to defeat the NATO countries across the globe, including the United States in Europe first, and then head south to capture the oil-rich Middle East. Then they would spread Communist ideologies throughout the world. During 1989 to early 1994, in a series of successful military campaigns and political treaties, the Warsaw’s had conquered or politically subdued most of continental Europe, the Middle East (with Arab assistance), and major portions of Africa. Just like the last war, Britain and the United States remained the only major forces to continue the fight against the Warsaw’s. The US was forced to withdraw from Europe and began to focus on defensive measures leaving Great Britain vulnerable to attack. In June 1993, the Soviets took Ireland and launch major attacks on the nation. In December 1993, China launched an attack in South-East Asia. Vietnam, North Korea, and Soviet troops assisted and a Mexican-standoff ensured between China and Japan and the United States. The US, which were still regrouping readied the defensive measures in case of a second Pacific War with China. By 1995, the Warsaw Empire had reached its peak. The whole continent of Europe was under Soviet control, the Arab Alliance, led by Saddam Hussein of Iraq, took Iran and effectively all of the Middle East, and the Eastern Warsaw’s, led by China had conquered the rest of Asia. The US, Great Britain, and Canada were the only capable forces remaining and the Warsaw’s planned for war on the American fronts. Cuba, in 1996, attacked the Florida Keys but was decimated by the US Navy. The first nuclear attack on the war hit Havana, and Cuba surrendered. Then the Soviet dictator, Vladimir Gruskin, sent a letter to the US stating that they would not attack the US if they agreed to the present state of the fronts. US President Bill Clinton said no and two months later, the Soviet invaded and took Alaska and then invaded and defeated Canada. Meanwhile, the British, who had not been invaded yet, launched an attack on Ireland in late 1996 and retook it. The British then stole back Iceland and began attacking and destroying Soviet convoys in the Atlantic, with the assistance of the US Navy. Then on December 21, 1996, the Soviets invaded the US all along the East Coast. The Soviets gained the high ground and by 24 February 1997, they were only 20 miles from Washington DC. The Warsaws had anticipated a simultaneous attack on the capital and the West Coast, by the Chinese. A Chinese naval armada, led by Admiral Xu Fang, sailed for the West Coast. The US met the armada at Catalina Island and the most decisive naval battle in history ensued. After just four days, the Chinese armada lost nearly half of its ships and their admiral. They were forced to retreat. The Soviet had not learned of the Chinese defeat and they proceeded with the attack on Washington DC on June 30th, 1997. The fighting ended on July 3rd but the battle ended the next day when the Soviets retreated. Thus the war had reached its turning point with the Battle of Washington DC and the Battle of Ireland. For the next few years the US/British alliance set out to liberate the world and they did so successfully. After a decisive battle in the Pacific, the Allies invaded China, nuked Shanghai, and took the capital. The Chinese became the first Warsaw country to surrender on August 4th, 1998. Iraq surrendered on November 11th, 1998. The war then focused in Europe, as one by one the countries were liberated. The Battle of Berlin (1999) had become the final major battle of the war on the European Front. The Soviet Union was then reduced to what is now Russia. The Allies knew they couldn’t invade the vast area by themselves and they instead threatened to nuke the country into defeat if they didn’t surrender by January 1st, 2000. The Soviet agreed and they began peaceful negotiations. Gruskin was killed during the Battle at Berlin and the nation dropped into civil war. The Patriots took Moscow, with some assistance from the Allies, on October 24th, 2001. The Soviets officially surrendered that very same day. The war ended with the total victory of the Allies over the Warsaw Pact on October 24th, 2001 and a peace treaty, “EndWar”, was signed on May 9th, 2003. World War III left the political alignment and social structure of the world significantly altered. While the United Nations (UN) stilled stood strong to handle international crisis, the Multi-National Crisis Management Organization was created to halt any signs of war. Most countries whose industries had been badly damaged began moving toward economic recovery and across the world political integration emerged in an effort to peacefully stabilize after-war relations.
- It brought many changes throughout the world, with only less than a third of the population before the war (from approx. 9 billions people to less than 3 billions), and was a large factor in the subsequent rise of as a political, military, and economical force.
- The Doctor and some losers are under siege in Downing Street, where they discover, much to their shock, that Bush did 9/11. Luckily, the Doctor is able to order a stealth missile launch that, coupled with a controlled demolition and a holographic plane, allows him and his buddies to escape. At the last moment, Blon Slitheen also escapes (somehow?), resulting in the British government being completely decapitated and a cryptofascist from Flydale North taking over the nation. So, to recap:
* Faked crash into large building
* Trumped up fake war over "mass weapons of destruction"
* Facist regime installed Sheer poetry, dear boy.
