Georgian-Floridian War

The Georgian-Floridian War was a war fought between Georgia and Florida from April 5, 2030 to November 4, 2034. It erupted following the collapse of the United States in January 2030 and resulted in a decisive victory for Georgia, with the state gaining large swaths of Floridian territory afterwards. The war caused the largest 21st century humanitarian crisis in North America up until that point. Florida aligned itself with California after the war, meanwhile Georgia aligned itself with Texas. The two states went to war again in 2037 as part of the larger Great American War between Texas and California.

===Alabama===
Two hours after the war erupted on April 5, 2030, the government of Alabama declared neutrality. The Alabamian government issued an official statement on the matter the next day, which read:The war between the State of Georgia and the State of Florida is contrary to interests of the State of Alabama. This is a war between Southern brothers, and picking a side would only further fracture the unity of the Southern states. Furthermore, the Alabamian economy is reliant on trade with both Georgian and Floridian companies. For these reasons, the State of Alabama refuses to get involved in the conflict between the State of Georgia and the State of Florida.Despite these public declarations of neutrality, the Alabamian government began secret dialogue with the Georgian government on April 11. According to these dialogues, Alabama was frustrated with how Florida had brutally destroyed the West Florida and Conch Republic separatist movements. Alabama was also frustrated with the ties the Floridian government had to the European Union, fearing that a Spanish recolonization of Florida was underway through economic neo-colonialism.
This secret dialogue ended on May 8, 2030, when Alabama officially retracted its statement of neutrality. According to the Alabamian government, Floridian troops had attacked several border towns and killed 13 Alabamian civilians from May 4 to May 8. Florida denied these claims, insisting that they had deployed "unarmed patrol" in order to "detain West Floridian terrorists guilty of treason against the State of Florida." Alabama issued no formal response to the Floridian counterclaim, however began open dialogue with the Georgian government.
This dialogue proved far more fruitful for Georgia's war effort than the previous, secret dialogues had. The Alabamian government agreed to send $2,000,000 in military aid, 17 tanks, and three volunteer divisions to help the Georgia National Guard and the Georgia State Defense Force. Eight of these tanks saw action in the 2033 Battle of Orlando, in which two of them were destroyed by the Florida National Guard. Two more of the tanks saw action in the decisive 2034 Battle of Tampa. The three volunteer divisions, nicknamed the Birmingham Brigades, were involved in the Battle of 2030 Tallahassee and the 2031 Battle of Panama.
=== California ===
After the outbreak of the war on April 5, 2030, the government of California condemned Georgia for launching an "unprovoked and unnecessary assault against the people of Florida." California's ambassador the United Nations, Pete Aguilar, proposed a United Nations General Assembly resolution to indefinitely suspend Georgia's membership within the United Nations. The resolution read:The membership of the State of Georgia in the United Nations and all international organizations subservient to the United Nations shall be indefinitely suspended as punishment for the illegal Georgian invasion of the State of Florida.The resolution failed to pass 239-4. The only four countries that voted for the resolution were California, Florida, Mississippi, and North Carolina. The four states formed an co-operative organization known as the Floridian Support Front, the goal of which was to provide military and economic assistance to Florida's war effort. The organization provided a total of $274,573,943 in funding and another $6,738,283 in military equipment to the Florida National Guard.
When Texas publicly declared their support for Georgia on May 4, 2030, the government of California responded by officially declaring war on Georgia. No military combat occurred between California and Georgia, however, and it was largely done as a formality and public stunt rather than a material declaration of war.
