: The global nuclear war that was responsible for setting the scene for the apocalypse. It was fought between an unknown number of nations, but eventually consumed the entire Earth. The [[Colonel]] explains to Kenshiro that it was started by the [[General]] and his like-minded collaborators.

==Prelude to War==

: In 1935, the head priest of the [[wikipedia:White Horse Temple|White Horse Temple]] foresaw doom in the stars. The meeting of [[Hokuto Shinken]] and [[Hokuto Sanka Ken]] in China signaled the End of the [[wikipedia:Mandate of Heaven|Mandate of Heaven]] ({{CJKV|c=大天命亡|j=大天命亡|r=Dai Tenmei bō|p=Dà tiānmìng wáng}}) and ruin to the land.<ref>Souten no Ken ch. 27</ref> By the 1970s, a war had already broken out in South Asia, and the world's governments and corporations were facing intense competition and demand for resources due to immense rates of consumption and their eventual shortage. [[Land of Asura|The shore lands of China]] had been invaded by a powerful military nation and was on the verge of ruin.<ref>[[HnK Chapter 177]]</ref>

==The War Itself==

As the decades went on, global tensions remained at an all time high, and while the governments of the world poured their monetary resources into military empowerment and experimentation, civil infrastructure gradually decayed in the face of moral declination and social unrest, prompting crime and chaos to become increasingly rampant. Upon the peak of this excess turned decadence and indifference when it would become clear that war would be the inevitable option, the final solution was reached by the governments and corporations of the world in an almost mutual agreement: Global Thermonuclear War. Hoping the other sides would soon blow themselves up faster than themselves, this hasty and ill rashly thought plan soon culminated in all nations of the world launching their nuclear payload in chain reaction in offense and defense, eradicating modern civilization, the natural environment, and 80% of mankind's population along with all the fools who instigated the war in the first place. In the end, this results in the complete dissolving of Earth's nations and a new age where the strongest are only able to rule and survive.
