== Etymology ==
The term 'Age of the Cold' has its roots in various things. It is called an age as it's an era or age in the history of the Alternate Territories Wiki. It is remarked as 'cold' because it occurred primarily in fall and winter, meaning the temperature was relatively cold. It could as be known as 'cold' due to how cold users acted toward one another.

==== October Crisis ====
With the end of the September Protests and the closure of the ATC Winter, the October Crisis began. It was more of a cold war of sorts due to heavy tensions after the September Protests but fighting (other than jokes) was minimal on the Alternate Territories Wiki. However, actual fighting did occur in the SMC.

==== Boiled Water War ====
On November 8, 2021 NotFinland and Freecoder, jokingly, declared war on Liuan after he refused to boil water. After some arguing, Liuan surrendered five hours later. In the end, the water was boiled.

==== December Coup ====
On December 4, 2021 the long inactive ATC user Hi formed the Hi Loyalists and banned Liuan, de facto declaring war on the ATC Bureucracy. Alpha, jokingly, took advantage of the situation to start another political revolution. Patriot blamed FANDOM for the banning, unaware of Hi's involvement. Freecoder, upon discovering Hi banned Liuan, unbanned Liuan, told Liuan what happened, and banned Hi. This December Coup was a failure, but fighting didn't end.
==== December Conflict ====
Two days after Hi's defeat, Hi unbanned himself and self-promoted himself. Belastan, after leaving due to his grudge against Patriot, returned to the wiki and joined the Hi Loyalists. Hi and Belastan de facto redeclared war on Liuan and Patriot, beginning the December Conflict. After lots of fighting between Liuan and his allies against Hi and his allies, Hi was demoted by a democratic vote. On December 8, 2021 the demotion was announced as official. On December 9, 2021 Jordan appeared on the wiki and called the December Conflict a sad thing. Although Hi refused to surrender, the conflict is de facto over
