2020s- Soviet-Indian Wars

• Soviets make a deal with the Chinese to invade India. China would invade India, and the USSR would back the, giving them Soviet troops and resources. The United States and the European Federation intervened and prevented them from taking southern India. Southern India was protected, while central India was filled with two American and one European controlled buffer states. China split northern India in half, the east to them and the west to the Soviets. During this war, the US was also able to invade North Korea after they had attacked South Korea. After defeating them, they united the two into Korea.
