A rather large Sub-Genre of military fiction and technothrillers, Possible War works are works dealing with a hypothetical, but semi-plausible conflict in the world at the time they were written. Accuracy may vary, as many of these tend to be works trying to increase defence spending. Can be split into the more plausible techno-thrillers and the more alarmist "invasion literature". There are a number of popular settings for this, depending on who the relevant "main enemy" was at the time of work. Alien Invasion is basically this IN SPACE! (Or rather, FROM SPACE!). See also Invaded States of America and Second American Civil War. |

Command & Conquer: Generals: The game starts at some point after an anthrax-tipped missile launched by the Global Liberation Army (read: Al Qaeda) is shot down over the Atlantic. The game then features the US and China mostly doing their own operation against the GLA with the occasional joint operations and fighting rogue Chinese generals allying with the GLA, while all other nations absent despite taking place all over the Middle East and Central Asia and featuring reckless bioweapons usage (the final GLA mission involves taking over the Baikonour cosmodrome jointly guarded by US and China to bombard the US with tons of anthrax-laden missiles). | |

The EndWar series of the "Tom Clancy's" franchise is a scenario of what might happen if humanity created a system of lasers that made nuclear weapons obsolete, the E.U. and Russia emerged as superpowers equal to the United States, and we all had a great big war. Oh, and there's peak oil too as a reason, which is how Russia managed to regain power in the world. | |
