World War V

World War V was a global conflict in the 49th century. The Doctor was present, no later than his fifth incarnation. (TV: The Unquiet Dead, AUDIO: Singularity, The Gathering)

During the conflict, much of Earth's art treasures were destroyed, though these did not include the Mona Lisa. (COMIC: Art Attack)

The Fifth Doctor once rebuked Qel for the failure of the Somnus Foundation's museum of future history to even mention the conflict in its entry on the 49th century. (AUDIO: Singularity)

The Ninth Doctor later mentioned how he had seen the war along with the Fall of Troy and the Boston Tea Party when he thought he might meet his end in a dismal Cardiff dungeon at the hands of the Gelth. (TV: The Unquiet Dead)

It was the first world war fought on Earth in over 2,400 years as World War IV took place prior to the 25th century. (AUDIO: Frostfire)
