The Helium War

The Helium War was a global war that lasted from 2076 to 2086. It involved the vast majority of the world's countries, including all the major world powers, with the exception of China. The Helium War oversaw the creation of several world factions such as The Tribunal of Liberty, Aegis, The Eurasian Alliance, The African Freedom Fighters, and the Yamato-Australian Federation. Over 250 million personnel from more than 50 countries were directly involved in the war. The Helium War was the deadliest armed conflict in human history, resulting in an estimated 110-120 million fatalities, a majority of which coming from African and European civilians. The Helium War was a historic conflict, introducing the world to new armed conflict with weapons such as endostatic detonators, F-51 Fighter Jets, and for the first time in human history, Anti-Matter Bombs.

The Helium War is generally considered to have begun on November 11th, 2076, with the Aegis seizure of the streets surrounding Fort Jesus following a series of skirmishes between Aegis and the Kenyan Government. Some scholars subscribe to the belief that if not for the agressions on behalf of the Kenyan Government in January of 2076, the Helium war would've been avoided, and thus cite this moment as the true beginning to the conflict.
