History of the ATC

Not to be confused with History of the ATC Universe
The ATC was founded on 27th, December 2019 and there have been many events that changed, destroyed, abolished, and started new advancements in the ATC. In this page, it will explain everything from the start, till the present of the ATC.
== History ==
=== Pre-History ===
Before the ATC, the founder, Alpha was new to mapping. Every day, he’d get a map and put tags on countries, pretending the countries were real. 
A few years later, he found the Future Polandball Wiki and started his journey, creating the ATC.
=== Early Ages ===
On December 27, 2019, the new wiki was just Alpha. Hoping for the best, he created the 7 starting worlds, Alphat, Zogod, Wihian, Laytr, Ethehia, Yukon, and Moton. He also created the two important nations, Republic of Castile and Kingdom of Leon. 
Nonetheless, the wiki was empty, both on the wiki and the people, but, it would change in March.
=== Age of Liuan ===
In the Future Polandball Wiki, Alpha met Liuan, he invited him to edit the wiki and created 4 other nations, The New Republic of Assaria, Xhian Dynasty, Republic of Hong Kong and New Ming Dynasty.
The wiki was finally thriving and having activity, but the wiki was still empty, but he had a couple of friends to invite.
=== SMC Development Era ===
The SMC Development Era added the first admins of the ATC, mainly, Moomoomooey, Finolian, and Belastan. 
Edits happened, every hour. It was a miracle that would happen, as it caused the Golden Age of the ATC.
A famous page at that time was the OK Empire made by Liuan333.
=== Golden Age of the ATC ===
After ideas streamed high, the wiki was in it’s golden age, new pages every hour. It looked like the flow never ended. 
Presidents, The Nation Alliance, Notices, Imports, Badges, and many more, but unfortunately, it did.
=== First Inactive Era ===
Activity streamed low, and no one can replenish it. It was the first major crisis in the wiki, where no one can solve it. 
Belastan, left, but, the timing was right. India12345 came to the wiki and saved it.
=== Era of Test ===
After Test, a new era came. Test began the World of Testistan, which was never finished, even to this day. Test also won the 100-page admin contest, in which he became an admin. However, he became inactive for the time.
Alpha asked Jordan to join the ATC, so that he would revive the wiki.
=== Era of Jordan ===
When Jordan came, he was active, adding pages every day, however, there were only 2 people active and the others, inactive so when Jordan became inactive, the Second Inactive Era came.
=== Second Inactive Era ===
Activity streamed low again, and unfortunately, Alpha does not know who to add, but, he joined drama and asked Freecoder11 to join, so it began Borososylia.
=== Borososyliya ===
On October 17, 2020, -ACheesyNameHere-, commonly known as freecoder11 or Freecoder, joined the wiki. He introduced Borososyliya, a work in progress single-person project to the wiki. It introduced a different page format as well. Another user T12345j created the Garfield branch of Laytr and Tra can't, an ongoing gag in the ATC because it sparked the idea of World War III. The Forceion was also created at that time.
=== Nuclear Era Trend ===
When Liuan created the idea of the Nuclear Era, sparks in the wiki grew to a great show. 
It sparked the Illuminati Confederacy and the mapping series Nuclear Devastation, which is currently developed by Alpha, but it got canceled in the next era. 
===Third Inactive Era===
The Third Inactive Era is an event that marks inactivity on the wiki. -ACheesyNameHere- and AlphaBeta906 are working to keep the wiki active and edit rapidly. Yakuzas and the founding of The Teahouse are some of the major events of the era. Grebia, a notable page on the wiki, was also made around this time, on November 10th, 2020.
===Era of Finolian (2020 - April 7, 2021)===
After 2 months of inactivity, many users joined or rejoined the wiki such as Finolian, Poxy4 and HiuyjuTheBruh. Others boosted their activity also like Liuan333. The wiki is ongoing a contacting era that advertises the wiki to other wikis. Finolian was elected the president in the 2021 Elections, however all their advertisements had failed due to Alpha being underage at that time, so in response Finolian became owner and banned Alpha until August 2023 by Alpha's command. Sikyo also arrived to this wiki, and he became the vice admin of Liuan.
There has been ups and downs of the wiki and activity plummeted, in a cold state for a few days, until, PatriotMapperOMSBand came to the wiki and created Manchu Commune and many more pages in the World of Patriot.
===Warring Period (April 7, 2021 - April 10, 2021)===
From April 7 on, Alpha decided to come back, and a poll was made. Finn, the owner at the time, deemed the poll invalid, causing a fight between him and multiple ATC members working hard to get Alpha back. -ACheesyNameHere-, Leonidas huh, and PatriotMapperOMSBand would begin a revolution that would see Liuan demote Finn, and Alpha be retunred as ruler of the wiki. As Liuan puts it: "Can you please stop talking about it?"
In the aftermath of the April Revoultion, three factions would appear on the wiki: Finolian Loyalists, Leonidas's Party, and ATC Jacobin Club. This would spark violence among the community as Leonidas would see the ideals of the ATC Jacobin Club as too similar to Finn's and declare war on the Jacobins, beginning another civil war. Liuan would decide to intervene in the war, and banned Leonidas. The Warring Period would wrap up the 2021 Election being held on April 10, 2021. "Wars should always be short" - Liuan
===Era of Crisis and Civil War (April 10, 2021 - April 28, 2021)===
The Era of the Crisis and Civil War was practically a continuation of the Warring Period. A election would be held with Liuan wins the election. Liuan thinks that the reason why previous presidents are so corrupt is that the President is too powerful. Thus, he decided to expand the government. A lot of people weren't happy, causing the Second ATC Civil War. This Era would end with the retirement of Alpha and the appointment of Leonidas (yes that Leonidas) to the position of Premier and Owner.
===Era of Reconciliation (April 28, 2021 - before may 16)===
The current era would start with the appointment of Leonidas huh to the position of Premier and Owner of the Wiki. His 5 point plan would be put into action to Reform the wiki and finally bring peace and stability back to the fractured wiki.
However, it did not go as planned Leonidas would then ban Cheesy, Patriot, Liuan and Mpia, this would then bring the Second Leo Confict, ending the party and Leonidas’ reign. Soon HHW members started attacking members of the ATC, especially the mods and Alpha due to their corruption, COPPA and the wars in the wiki.
=== First Era of Peace ===
(Due to the Fact that the Era of Peace before the April Revolution, was an Era before drama, it doesn't count as an area of peace due to being before ATC Drama)
The First Era of Peace was the Era of Peace after the Era of Reconciliation and before the Era of Politics. It was an era that revolved around General Pacifism and Harmony. Around this time, the ATC Trials, the only 2 trials that officially took place on the wiki, for Finn and Leo, happened. During this Era, Liuan was demoted from Vice Owner - Regular Head Admin. He was at first pissed off, and fake-left (Liuan - Lol). The era ended after the monthly meet, when the Proposed poll to end politics took place.
=== Era of Politics and the Great War (May 16, 2021 - May 25, 2021)===
When the monthly meet ended, Liuan created a poll proposing to end politics, suggested by Freecoder. Alpha was furious when the choice of Yes was won, so he created a new wiki. Alpha and Patriot then created a new constitution called the May Constitution, and Alpha tricked Liuan into signing it. Alpha later threatened Liuan to war. Liuan refused Alpha's demands, starting the May Revoulution (Third ATC Civil War). 
The war is also known as the Great War because it lasted the longest in ATC history. The war was over politics, Alpha wanted to keep politics, Liuan wanted to remove them. The war escalated when even the Fandom Staff became involved. Freecoder decided to ban Alpha, Patriot, and Liuan, he later unbanned them. A new poll was created, the original idea won, Alpha then started another declaration of war, starting Part 2 of the conflict. Alpha then 'surrendered' but then said that he would refuse to surrender (confusingly). It is unclear whether when the war ended.
===Alpha Controversy (May 25, 2021 - June 7, 2021) ===
Following the end of the May Revolution, Alpha and Patriot kept making pushes to bring back politics. Alpha became hated by everyone except Patriot and the wiki devolved into an Alpha hating contest. Cynetia was created on May 26th. On June 7, 2021, all wiki admins, including Patriot, voted to ban Alpha. This de facto ended the Alpha Controversy, however there was still some discussion about it afterwards.
===Patriot Controversy (June 7, 2021 - July 11, 2021)===
Despite politics being gone, Patriot kept pushing for politics to come back (Patriot Politics Movement). This caused an argument with Belastan (Patriot-Belastan War) which caused Patriot to further isolate himself from the wiki. This became heated with the July 11 Coup d'état on July 11, 2021. The coup failed and Patriot was banned.
=== Second Era of Reconciliation (July 11, 2021 - August 2, 2021) ===
Following Patriot's ban, Freecoder, Poxy, and Liuan spent the remaining time trying to reconciliate the community and bring it back together. Many people got upset in the aftermath, including Sria and Poxy, who would go inactive on the community. Cascadia froze in development and World War V (Cross-world) was left permantly unfinished. This Era is also known as the Second Era of Peace.
=== Late ATC Winter (August 2, 2021 - October 6, 2021) ===
See also: Longest Pages in the ATC
As the ATC Winter progressed, on August 2, Patriot returned on the new account MapOfFish with the article Third Balkan War. Grebia and Cynetia by Bstew and Freecoder grew to become the largest pages on the wiki.Grebia becomes the longest page. Alpha came back and began some new projects.Alpha comes back. Grebia became the first pages to surpass 60,000 bytes on the wiki on August 20, 2021. ThatPatrioticGuy (Jordan) came back to wiki on August 14, 2021.ThatPatrioticGuy's first post in like four months. Belastan also randomly showed up again on August 17, 2021.Poll where Belastan voted on August 17. Bstew also becomes an admin.Poll on whether or not Bstew should become an admin. Grebia also becomes article of the month for August.Grebia becomes August's article of the month. Third Balkan War became third longest page on August 21, 2021.Third Balkan War becomes third longest. Mpia becomes the page of the month for September. The New Left Movement is founded on September 7, 2021, with it's main purpose to protect the editors from authoritarian bureacrats, but many people viewed it as a political party, causing the New Left Arguments. On September 20, 2021, Alpha published the September Constitution, causing controversy. This controversy would eventually lead to the continuation of the The War on Politics, and the beginning of the September Protests. After many unsettled disagreements, including a discord argument between Patriot, Alpha, and Freecoder, both Patriot and Alpha changed minds. After Alpha felt like he lost his entire trust with the wiki after patriot broke his trust meter, he officially left the wiki once again, leading to the present era.
=== Third Era of Peace ===
After the First Era (End of 4/28-Beginning of the Liuan-Alpha Conflicts) and second era (End of July Coup-Beginning of the Poll Conflict and the New Left Argument) ended, a third Era would begin after the second one. Although with some hiccups (Reichstag Joke Blabbermouthing), the Third Era of Peace is where the wiki stands today. A lot of things happened during this era. Liuan joined the SMC, discord troll wars such as the Boiled Water War happened. Alpha also started the idea of "Neo-Politics" in Universopedia, and said he wouldn't force them to happen on the ATC unless if the majority votes for it. However, the community disagreed, and nearly ended the era of peace with the November Constitution Controversy. However another war would be avoided. The Third Era of peace, however wasn't meant to last and was soon ended by a certain user from San Francisco.
=== The Cold ===
Main article: Age of the Cold
San Francisco, also called Hi, attempted the December Coup on December 4, 2021 where he attempted to ban Liuan and overthrow the current state fo governance and authority on the Alternate Territories Wiki. After Liuan, Freecoder, and (kinda) Patriot defeated the coup, Hi refused to surrender. The December Conflict began with Hi and his old ally Belastan attempting several grabs at power in a conflict against Patriot and Liuan. However, in a democratic vote, Hi was removed of a perm by a fandom admin, ending the December Conflict.
=== Reconciliation and Repoliticalization ===
Soon afterwards peace would continue in January. Alpha would rejoin the wiki in February and Patriot would have his main unbanned. Controversy surrounding Liuan began when Alpha mentioned that he barely did anything admin-like and was just being an unfunny idiot. Soon he created a poll to demote Liuan, which was passed through a very narrow margin. Liuan then mentioned he was going insane and told Alpha to ban him, which he did. He kept unbanning himself after seeing that Alpha was trying to get things done that the majority of the wiki didn't appreciate (i.e. creating another constitution) and also did controversy by banning SMK due to "mental health issues", which the majority of wiki admins were confused on what to handle the situation with. Liuan then mentioned that Alpha probably only wanted to demote him so Alpha could do the constitution stuff without him. This was to be the March Crisis. Soon Alpha left and Liuan would end his break (before going on spring break and ceasing his activity on the ATC until it was over). Controversy surrounding Patriot began to arise with Patriot created his website, which was viewed by many as biased. In an ATC poll about the Ukrainian war made by Liuan, Patriot voted Donetsk PR and began advocating for Self-Determination, stating that Ukraine did have a neo-nazi problem, which was seen by much of the ATC as a Capitalist conspiracy. Patriot would also accuse Liuan of being racist after Liuan quote responded to Bstew about how there were 1000 countries in Africa Liuan would say: "Tbh most countries come from africa so im not bothering to do any of those" to which Patriot said Liuan was being Racist. Liuan mentioned how Patriot was going insane about the wiki, and Liuan, Freecoder, and Bstew also mentioned about how Liuan was planning not to do African countries because they were mostly just tribes and likely insignificant to TDW. Patriot then made a post about how Liuan was racist, to which nearly everyone disagreed with, and Patriot finally found out about what Liuan was talking about. Patriot then took a break, in which a bunch of ATC members ridiculed him. The entire is Freecoder's mock blog post about him.
"Hey gusy welcome to #socialistpreotst2050 whish is an amateur blog started by a polticailly-bossed nut who neesd to go outside. we supprot the idead of many brave pmarxists. our ideology is marxism-leninism maoism ba'athism syrianism husseinism islamic utopian syndicalist slight-anarchist influence revolutionist brainless libertarian with hints of stalinism and formely social democarcy but fuck that. my brain is the size of a marble btw.

I died today it was sad. before i left the atc on a noble islamic journet adn quest to nuke isreal, i met this stupid little man named liuan. hs name is so asain a nd i hate it. anyway, when i talked to him, he menteionded the darkest wrodl and how it at 1000 african coutnreis, but he DIDN"T WANT TO BMAKE THEN beCAUSE aPPARENTLY, thYE;'re IRREVELNAT and THERE"s TOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!

Patriot would eventually reconcile with the rest of the ATC and begin Project Reconciliation, which was aimed at making a page about all the times Patriot was Controversial.
