GODZILLA: Ceaseless Combat/Timeline

Below is a timeline of events in the GODZILLA: Ceaseless Combat continuity, which is different from much of the established film series' continuities in an effort to encompass almost all of them.
WARNING: The following timeline will contain unhidden spoilers for all films, especially those of recent years. Proceed at your own risk.
*12000 BC: Battra tries to exterminate humanity but is stopped by Mothra, with both going into hibernation.
*Before 0 A.D.: King Ghidorah arrives on Earth, but is defeated by Godzilla and trapped in Antarctica. Many kaiju go into hibernation as well while humanity begins to take the world from them.
*1940: The Skullcrawlers exterminate all the Kongs, except the infant Kong himself.
*1944: A Godzillasaurus living on Lagos Island in the Bikini Atoll encounters American and Japanese soldiers in a battle during World War II. The dinosaur intervenes and forced both sides to retreat, but is left wounded and flees into the sea to heal. In his place terrorists leave behind three small creatures called Dorats.
*1954: Nuclear bomb testing on various islands awaken two monsters: Godzilla near Odo Island, and a second King Ghidorah, created by the fusion of the Dorats on Lagos Island. While the newly-created King Ghidorah is kept secret and unknown to the world by the terrorists, Godzilla surfaces at Tokyo and brings ruin to the city before being stopped by the sacrifice of Dr. Daisuke Serizawa. Unbeknownst to humanity, the bombs also irradiated the wounded Godzillasaurus into a second Godzilla to replace the first.
*1955: The new Godzilla surfaces alongside a new kaiju, Anguirus. The two battle each other in Osaka before Godzilla forces Anguirus to retreat. Godzilla is in turn buried in ice.

*1964: Mothra lays an egg, which washes ashore at Nagoya. Godzilla emerges from his icy prison and attempts to eat the Mothra egg, but Mothra deters him at the cost of her life. Her twin children eventually finish the job for him and send him running. One of the larvae succumbs to wounds sustained against Godzilla, though.

*1975: Mechagodzilla is rebuilt by the Black Hole Planet 3 Aliens, with the help of Dr. Mafune, and sent to invade Tokyo alongside a brainwashed Titanosaurus, but Godzilla destroys Mechagodzilla again and sends Titanosaurus back to sleep. Godzilla then goes into hibernation under the sea.
*1985: Godzilla reawakens and rampages through Japan. The Global Defense Force is formed to defend against kaiju attacks in the wake of this; their first vehicle, the Super X, is destroyed by Godzilla. The Super X2 is built to replace the Super X.
*1990: Dr. Genichiro Shirigami creates a a plant monster with Godzilla's cells and the DNA of his deceased daughter. The beast fights Godzilla in Osaka before both retreat and go into hibernation.
*1992: The second King Ghidorah is unleashed on Earth, but is quickly killed by Godzilla. But as Godzilla rampages through the city of Shinjuku, Mecha-King Ghidorah is built from King Ghidorah's corpse and puts Godzilla back into hibernation in the sea.
*1993: A crystal comet strikes the Earth, awakening Mothra and Battra. The two clash throughout East Asia, stumbling upon Godzilla in the process. Mothra prevails in the three-way duel and flies into space to stop the much larger crystal meteor that is coming. The Global Defense Force creates Mechagodzilla 2, inspired by the original Black Hole Planet 3 Mechagodzilla, alongside Garuda, using some tech salvaged from the currently-inactive Mecha-King Ghidorah.
*1994: Godzilla enters Japan once more, but Mechagodzilla 2 is deployed to stop him. Rodan encounters Mechagodzilla 2 as well, but eventually Godzilla and Rodan prevail over Mechagodzilla 2.
*1995: The Global Defense Force builds M.O.G.U.E.R.A. and sends it into space alongside Mothra, but both fail to stop the crystal meteor from landing. SpaceGodzilla, formed by some of Biollante's cells entering space, spreads a crystal plague but is defeated by Godzilla. Most crystals disappear as a result, but some survive: in particular, one crystal cluster in Seattle and another one in New York. Godzilla begins to superheat from tremendous nuclear energy, risking death, but is stabilized by the Global Defense Force's efforts. He battles Destoroyah, formed by the Oxygen Destroyer of 1954 awakening Precambrian crustaceans in the Earth's undersea crust.
*1996: An ancient evil, Desghidorah, is reawakened and terrorizes the Earth. Mothra fights Desghidorah and succeeds in sealing him away, but is mortally wounded. Before she passes, she gives birth to a new Mothra.
*1997: The new Mothra battles Dagahra after he turns against the civilization he lived along and spreads pollution through the seas.

*1999: Most of Earth's monsters are corralled into the Monster Island archipelago, aside from a few like Godzilla.
*2000: Godzilla surfaces in Shinjuku when a dormant alien race in the sea awakens. He battles the aliens, which morph into Orga, and sends the gluttonous creature retreating. Then, the Global Defense Force's attempts at experimenting with wormholes send in Megaguirus and a swarm of Meganulons and Meganulas from ancient times, but Godzilla defeats them too.
*2001: Mecha-King Ghidorah is rebuilt and reactivated. Jet Jaguar becomes a reserve unit of the Global Defense Force, while the Gotengo is repaired as well, under the supervision of General Gyozen. The descendant of the Zilla that attacked New York in 1998 attacks Paris but is quickly killed; however, even this Zilla leaves behind one egg that hatches into yet another monster to continue the line of terror.
*2002: An alien race known as the Vortaak begin the first of three invasions. They turn several monsters mad and unleash them on Earth's cities. In the process, they also steal Mechagodzilla 2 and reprogram it to serve them.
*2003: The bones of the original Godzilla are salvaged from the ocean and built into Kiryu, to replace Mechagodzilla 2. The first fight between Kiryu and his organic "son" is disastrous, however; Godzilla's roars reawaken the ghost of the original Godzilla bound to Kiryu's bones, possessing the cyborg and making him obliterate all of Yokohama. Kiryu is indefinitely shelved, but eventually the Global Defense Force finds ways to keep Kiryu's soul from intervening. In this year and the next, Kiryu battles Godzilla with much better results, although at times the soul still takes over, if only for brief moments.
*2004: The Vortaak launch their second invasion with stronger forces, this time turning several other monsters mad. SpaceGodzilla returns from the cosmos, allied with the Vortaak, to retry his attempt at domination, causing several of Earth's monsters to begin their war against the extraterrestrials; by the end of the war Mechagodzilla 2 is freed from the Vortaak control and SpaceGodzilla is trapped in a void.
*2007: Obsidius and Krystalak emerge from the underground. Monster Island's barriers are destroyed, and most of the resident monsters retreat to other parts of the world. The Vortaak unleash their final invasion but are shot down by Mothra; only a handful of the Vortaak escape the devastation. Gyozen goes insane from the crystals as well as repeated losses against Godzilla, who ends up killing him and temporarily putting the Gotengo out of commission once again. SpaceGodzilla, with the power of the crystals, escapes his void, but Godzilla and Kiryu team up and throw him back in.
*2014: A pair of M.U.T.O.s emerge and cut a swath of destruction through Hawaii and the Mojave Desert, but are killed by Godzilla.
*2019: The original King Ghidorah is awakened by eco-terrorists in Antarctica, nearly obliterating the world and awakening several of Earth's monsters who remained in hibernation, but Godzilla and Mothra kill King Ghidorah...save for a single comatose head, which is discovered by the terrorists.
*2021: Rogue Global Defense Force sub-faction APEX is established, plotting to overthrow the monsters for good. A massive horde of monsters attack multiple locations all around the globe, notably figures such as Salunga, Godzilla, and Manda, but the Global Defense Force, spearheaded by Jet Jaguar, is able to defeat them and protect humanity.
*2024: Godzilla battles Kong for dominance. A third human-built Mechagodzilla is created by APEX, using the severed Ghidorah head, to kill the two battling titans, followed by the rest of the Earth Defenders. However, after defeating each other, the two take on the new Mechagodzilla and destroy it.
*2027: APEX-Mechagodzilla is rebuilt, but put on indefinite standby. It is only to be deployed in severe emergency. Skar King, with the power of a mysterious monster, attempts to conquer the surface world, but is sent running back to the depths by Kong with his enslaved minions freed.
*2040: Enraged by a mysterious source, many of Earth's monsters attack the cities of Earth once more, especially Godzilla. The humans enlist the aid of the Exif and Bilusaludo to create Nano-Mechagodzilla.
*2045: After the surge of monster attacks was averted, the Bilusaludo attempt to conquer humanity with their Mechagodzilla. Humanity uses their own Mechagodzillas to fend them off, though the humans manage to steal some nanometal, using them for their own purposes. All the while the Exif help revive and heal King Ghidorah from his battle with Godzilla, then help the dragon escape back into space unhindered.
*20XX: The Xiliens return, taking control of a majority of Earth's monsters while bringing their own. Godzilla and Mothra beat them all and send the Xiliens fleeing once again, severely weakened.
*2XXX: King Ghidorah returns to terrorize the Earth. He does battle with Godzilla in Antarctica, but are both imprisoned in the ice and put into hibernation by the Gotengo. SpaceGodzilla begins his efforts to escape his void prison once again.
