The war was primarily fought in [[Chinatown, Portland|Chinatown]], [[Portland]], [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]]. Major players involved in the war included [[Toni Cipriani]], [[Claude]] and [[Salvatore Leone]]. The war is one of the three major gang wars in Grand Theft Auto III, the other two being the [[Yakuza-Leone War]] and the [[Yakuza-Cartel War]]. | ||

The Leones began to have bad terms with the Triads sometime during the events of [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]] when the Triads blew up a Leone warehouse (which then became the [[Turtle Head Fish Factory]], a front for the Triads). They were trying to push out the Leones for the [[Sicilian Mob]].

In GTA LCS, the Triad gang's unnamed leader and some other gang members were [[Big Rumble in Little China|killed]] by [[Toni Cipriani]] after [[Ma Cipriani|his mother]] had assumed that he left Liberty City because he was scared of the Triads. He proved her wrong by killing two teams of Triad mobsters. After the [[Sindacco Family]] were forced out of Portland, the Triads became a big problem for the Leones as they started moving in on the rest of Chinatown. [[Massimo Torini]] of the [[Sicilian Mafia]] had predicted them to do so. It was part of his plan to destroy all other mob influence in Portland. Toni was sent to [[Calm Before the Storm|follow Torini through Chinatown for information]], but he was spotted by the Triads, whom he killed during his escape. The Triads later retaliated by [[The Trouble With Triads|blowing up]] [[Salvatore Leone]]'s warehouse in Callahan Point. | |||
Later on in [[2001]], during the mission [[Farewell 'Chunky' Lee Chong]], [[Joey Leone]] sent Claude to kill [[Lee Chong]] for selling cheap [[SPANK]] in his noodle stand. | |||

In the mission [[Cipriani's Chauffeur]], Toni Cipriani tells Claude to drive him to [[Mr. Wong's Laundromat]] which pays protection to the Leone Family, in order to collect some protection money, only to find out that they now pay protection to the Triads. The Triads inside the store chase and open fire on Toni, forcing Claude to pick him up and deliver him to his [[Momma's Restaurante]] in [[Saint Mark's]]. Toni, angry about how the Triads had taken over one of the Leone's businessses in the last mission, tells Claude to [[Taking Out the Laundry|blow up]] three [[Triad Fish Van]]s. Claude successfully succeeds in this task, despite getting attacked by angry Triads. Toni then [[The Pick-Up|informs]] Claude that [[Mr. Wong]] had agreed to pay protection and tells him to pick up the money, but when he gets there, he is instead attacked by the Triads. Claude, however, manages to kill his attackers and takes the money back to Toni. In the mission [[Salvatore's Called A Meeting]], Claude picks up Joey Leone, [[Luigi Goterelli]] and Toni Cipriani but during the way they are attacked by the Triads, who are angered at the fact that Toni has been calling attacks on the Triads. Claude manages to fight them all off and gets to [[Salvatore's Gentlemen's Club]] where Leone Family [[Don]] [[Salvatore Leone]] discusses about the Triads. | |||
==The End of the War== | |||
After a while, Toni Cipriani instructs Claude and two other Leone Family soldiers to [[Triads and Tribulations|kill three Triad warlords]], which they successfully managed to pull off, weakening the Triads. Finally in, the mission [[Blow Fish]], Toni tells Claude to pick up a [[Trashmaster]] rigged with a bomb set up by [[8-Ball]] and is told to bring it to the Turtle Head Fish Factory and blow it up. Although the Triads can still be seen in Chinatown after these events, they are never seen or mentioned again during the storyline, suggesting that the Leones won the war. While it is improbable that the Triads were finished in Liberty City, they were definitely irrevocably weakened because of the loss of their most powerful asset. | |||
