On 20 February 2027, Japan invaded Korea after a period of high tensions between Japan and China, which culminated in the revocation of Japanese privileges in Korea.[9] The invasion of Korea in turn prompted an intervention by China and its allies on the side of Korea. In reaction, the East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere declared war on China and its allies. The invasion became the largest conflict in Asia since World War II.[10][11] It is estimated to have caused tens of thousands of civilian casualties and hundreds of thousands of military casualties. From a population of about 80 million in January 2027, about 8 million Koreans have been internally displaced and more than 4 million have fled the country, primarily to the USSR creating Asia's largest recorded refugee crisis.
The invasion was met with international condemnation. The United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution condemning the Japanese invasion and demanding a full Japanese withdrawal in March. The International Court of Justice ordered Japan to suspend military operations and the Warsaw Pact placed its armies on high alert.[12] Many countries have provided significant humanitarian and military aid to China and its allies. However, countries such as France and the United States of America have supported Japan.[13] Protests occurred around the world. The war has damaged much of the global economy as a result of disrupting the production of raw materials and manufactured goods from East Asia.[14]
