The Fourth War Scare

The Fourth War Scare was a period in which the major world powers were close to beginning World War IV, from October 12, 2040, until February 3, 2041. Shortly after the end of World War III, Germany, 3 years after recountrization, were beginning to use their power to force other European countries into tensions with each other, most importantly, the Soviet Union (reformed in 2035) against the United States. The Soviet Union, seeing this as a possible threat, met with the United States again to discuss Germany's fate if such war measures were had to be taken if European countries began to attack each other. Ultimately, European countries began to threaten each other with military force, most notably, France and Britain. France and Britain, two countries with over 500 years of war and disagreement with each other, were two short fuses to blow. Britain then landed their forces in Eastern France, in which the French government stated "the fourth begins" however, American and Russian forces in France pushed the British back, and further set greater defenses around France. Germany was forced under punishment, and hostilities ended on February 3, 2041.
