Winter War

The Winter War (5 February 2023 - 1 June 2063) was a regional war that involved almost all European powers in a conflict that lasted almost four decades. During the war, all European Union member states fought together to defend the continent from the Russian invasion, and a permanent frontline was established at the Polish-German border.

The sudden Russian invasion happened when the majority of NATO air forces were involved in the Quebec War. Russian neighbours such as Finland, Ukraine, Belarus and Georgia were captured within weeks while the conflict for Poland took over 40 years as the opposing forces were unable and unwilling to continue fighting.

High civilian casualties on the European side demoralized most members and eventually led to the withdrawal of Southern European members from the frontline. These events led to the dissolution of the European Union, followed by the Northern European members uniting to form the European Federation.

There was no active fighting between 2026 and 2063, but both sides were ready to continue fighting at any moment. The war ended when the EF-Russian Cooperation Agreement was signed and both sides agreed to defend mainland Europe from the UK.
