2025 Crisis

The 2025 Crisis was a period of dramatically increased global tension, primarily between the United States and its NATO allies and their principal geopolitical adversaries of the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China, though its effects could be felt throughout international relations across all corners of the world. The 2025 Crisis can be credited for bringing the term "lukewarm conflict" into common usage, as some political and historical experts have since begun to use the term in an effort to better characterize the conflict.
