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. 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. 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. 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. 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.
