American-Wakandan War

The American-Wakandan War was a military conflict between the United States of America and Wakanda, orchestrated by Erik Killmonger.
==History==
===Killmonger's War===
Frustrated at the death of his father and the suffering of African Americans across the globe, Erik Stevens vowed revenge on both the United States of America and Wakanda, seeking to start a war which would ruin both countries. While serving in the Navy SEALs, Killmonger devised a plan to gain Tony Stark's trust, so he would provide him with resources he needed, and joined forces with Ulysses Klaue. After rescuing Stark from the Ten Rings in Afghanistan, Killmonger gained a position within the Stark Industries and earned Stark's trust, before offering him to pick up the Project Liberator that would replace human troops with automated drones.
While working on the project together, Killmonger suggested to use vibranium to power up the drones, so Stark deployed James Rhodes to purchase it from Klaue. However, Killmonger told Klaue to leak the information about the deal to War Dogs which resulted in Black Panther breaking into the Salvage Yard to stop the deal. Killmonger then killed both Black Panther and Rhodes, making it look like they killed each other during the vibranium deal before escaping with Klaue and vibranium. The discovery of T'Challa's body resulted in the destabilization of the political climate between the US and Wakanda, with T'Chaka officially blaming the US military and Stark Industries for the death of the Wakandan prince and his son.What If...?: 1.06: What If...

===Invasion of Wakanda===
Tony Stark uncovered Erik Killmonger's involvement in deaths of James Rhodes, so he had the Liberator Drone prototype take him down. However, Killmonger killed Stark with a Vibranium Spear, making it look like he was killed by Wakandans as retribution for their prince. Discovering his body, the US military considered it a declaration of war and Thaddeus Ross issued a , seizing Stark Industries to mass-produce Liberator Drones.
While Ross was commanding the drones from Drone Command Center, Killmonger escorted them to the border of Wakanda. However, he turned against the US military, murdered Ulysses Klaue and informed Wakandans about the upcoming attack. T'Chaka ordered Dora Milaje and Border Tribe to prepare for the attack and carry out Killmonger's plan to disrupt the drones' signals with the protective barrier. The drones entered the country and the barrier disrupted the signal, however, Killmonger secretly reactivated the drones from the inside, starting a battle. With Killmonger's assistance, the Wakandan army successfully destroyed all drones in the battle, taking a victory.
===The War Goes On===
In the wake of the failed mission, Thaddeus Ross issued an order to prepare the Jericho missiles to wipe out Wakanda once and for all. Meanwhile, Erik Killmonger was officially proclaimed a Prince of Wakanda and given the mantle of the Black Panther.
