The Caspian Conflict

A conflict originating about the rights to the Caspian Sea, with the original contenders for the rights being the United Asian States and the Empire of Africa, it quickly spiked as other powers involved themselves for the benefit of their own interests, namely the European Coalition and the Union of North America. It was to the point where weapons like the hyper-sonic missiles were beginning to come into play, until all parties eventually began standing down after the M.A.D (Mutually Assured Destruction) was realized, and eventually came to an agreement between the Empire of Africa and the United Asian States to allow for the rights of the water to be split up, drop per drop, between the two nation (as well as lowering tariffs on European, North and South American goods). This would be a major spark in the Arms Race, to create the deadliest weapons possible to deter the other powers of the world against opposing them.
