Treaty of Luna

The Treaty of Luna was a peace treaty signed between the rebelling colonies of Mars and their Earth-bound suzerains in 2052, following the First Martian-Terran War. Having only been possible due to the ingenuity of Martian military commanders such as Admiral Isai Sergeev and scientific leaders such as Constantine Sagong, the independence of Martian nations was enshrined in the treaty, in addition to being conferred equal rights in trade across the Solar System and their own abilities to form colonies in subsequent interplanetary bodies.
This treaty, signed on Luna, was ultimately the start of the powderkeg that would explode in 2065 to become the Third World War on Earth; this was as a result of the humiliation of the United Nations as a supranational entity, the resurgence of nationalism across Terran nations, and the desires of Terran nations to individually expand their holdings across the Solar System without the checks of UN bureaucracy. As the war consumed Earth, non-Terran identitarianism grew in response, leading to the consolidation of a general "Martian" identity and even the rise of outer system independence movements.
