Temporal war

A "Temporal war" or "Time war" is a fictional conflict that takes place in multiple time periods, instigated by factions in the future who then travel back and alter history to their own ends; an example of this would be Albert Einstein going back in time to stop Hitler from starting the Second World War as depicted in the computer game .

The term might refer to any of the following fictional conflicts:

*The Temporal Cold War of the "Star Trek universe"
*The Time War of the "Doctor Who universe"
*The events of "The Big Time" by Fritz Leiber
*The Timesplitters series of video games.
*The events described in the novel "Cowl" by Neal Asher
*The conflict in the novel "Downtiming the Night Side" by Jack L. Chalker
*The conflict between mankind and machines in the Terminator movies.
