Arctic War

The Arctic War
The Arctic War was a war ever going as long as both the ECTC and DPRI existed, and it started with the signing of the Treaty of Liberty. During this war, roughly ~3.4 billion people in total would lose their lives (average of 49% civilians) and was named in reference to the Cold War, a war where no true battles were fought between two old powers. This name would be generalized to consider the whole war, as was intended, and referring to any of the other wars by their names would specify that one war in particular. Many hesitate to call the Arctic War a real war since it never had a treaty, nor any true battle, only minor skirmishes along the border and systems along said borders, but others argue that it is, because of the Cold War which was also considered a war.

An official statement was given by the DPRI leader at the time and called it a war as much as the War of Reclamation, Liberation, or Scarlet. This war would begin on either August 6th, 12,388 HE or June 2nd, 12,414 HE depending on who you spoke to. The majority says that the day the Treaty of Liberty was signed (June 2nd, 12,414) was the day the Arctic War began, and it would not end until September 19th, 12,675 HE. This war included the smaller wars such as the War of Reclamation, the War of Enforcement, the Scarlet War, and the final official war between the ECTC and DPRI, the Twilight War.
