The '''[[NATO-Mir War]]''', often known as the '''[[Infinity War]]''', was a long-term conflict on [[CivClassic]] primarily fought by the namesakes of the war, the [[NATO]] alliance and [[Mir]]. Both majorprimary partiesbelligerents of the war were large military and defensive blocs during CivClassic. Lasting from 2019 to mid-2020, the war is currently the longest on any Civ iteration; its long length gave way to its alternate name. The war has sometimes been regarded as a natural successor of the [[Titan War|Titan]] and [[Somber War|Somber Wars]], with many having military experience in those wars as well as being fought and ending in similar ways.
 
While the war started from skirmishes in and around [[Mount Augusta (CivClassic 2.0)|Mount Augusta]], the widespread scale of the war caused server population to decline. NATO-supported nations such as caused other conflicts across the server, such as the [[War of The Coalition|War of the Coalition]] and the [[Entente-Laconia War]] throughout late 2019 and early 2020. These forced many uninvolved nations in the [[UDF]] and [[Entente]] to join the war, and eventually help contribute to breaking multiple NATO vaults for over a week at the end of the war.
