### Outcome

Nuclear exchange between the North American Union and Euro-Asian CoalitionThe Death of Mankind

The **Eastern Europe War**, or the **Eastern Theater War**, often abbreviated to the **EEW**, was a proxy war and eventually a global war conflict that led to the fall of many European powers, the collapse of the American central government, the breakup of the North American Union, and a nuclear war. The Eastern Europe War's beginnings are unclear, however what provoked countries to declare war was the Belarus Civil War, where the EU and later different countries started to side with the Belarus citizens or the Belarusian government. This was the first time since the beginning of the Homefront Revolution that the American government and the PPF agreed to a ceasefire. Until the end of the war, tensions between the two did lighten up.

The Eastern European War, despite the name, would eventually result in skirmishes and outbreaks in areas such as the Caribbean, southern Africa, Siberia, central America, and northern America. The war caused both major instability in areas of the world already suffering from government turmoil (such as politics in central Africa) and economic depressions around the world.

The escalation of arms and tactics would closely be related to the Cold War during the aftermath of World War II. The EEW could better be summarized as a series of proxy wars from the North American Union and the Euro-Asian Coalition.

## Declarations of War

The Western Europe Union, which consisted of countries west of Poland, Slovakia, Hungary, Serbia, and Bosnia and Herzegovina, all agreed that the government was in the right. However, the Eastern European Union (European countries east of the WEU) all formally agreed that the citizens had the right to revolt. First declarations of war started within Belarus, with the Belarusian Ground Forces being deployed to stop the riots. The Western European Union mutually agreed this was too much and formally declared war on February 11th, 2021 at 9:00 AM, Central European Standard Time. This prompted an organized march through Eastern Europe, which started fighting among troops at borders. At approximately 11:30 AM, CET, the Eastern European Union started declarations at war. The North American Union, a day later, responded to these threats against their allies at 2:30 EST and declared war on the Eastern European Union. This prompted the shipment of troops to western Europe where they were intercepted by EAC troops on February 19th.

## February 19th - February 22nd

The first three days of fighting between both sides happened simultaneously at the battles of Biscay Bay and Minsk. For the Western Europeans storming inland into Minsk, Belarus, they would find themselves quickly surrounded by Eastern European forces in the town square. Many Western Europeans would attempt to flee into bordering countries, but many would have been shot, but the few who stayed would immediately be sent to POW camps and would receive cruel and unjust treatment from their captors. The NAU ships landing in France would have been countered by naval ships from the Eastern European. Surprised by the ambush, the NAU attempted to dock and unload their ships as quickly as possible before fleeing into Nantes, France. Unfortunately for both sides, neither expected the strong manpower or artillery barrages. On February 21st, firing from the Eastern European naval ships stopped in the dead of night. In the morning, the ships had disappeared—and most likely turned around to dock back home.

On February 22nd, the NAU began their investigation of ammunitions and equipment from the EEU, which would later be discovered to be shipped as a gift from the EAC. On this day, the Eastern and Western European Unions were formally made.

## February 23rd - March 14th

Following the battles that significantly destroyed the morale of American peoples, the PPF formally pledged their allegiance to Western Europe, however refused to take sides in part due to the rebellion uprising. Until the end of the month, there was nearly no more fighting in Europe. Throughout early March, the United States heavily promoted the use of rationing and propaganda. The government would later see how the a divided nation would not be able to see the end of the war, with the conservative south hoarding goods and the liberal urban areas refusing propaganda.

On March 2nd, the Parley Defense Line began between the border of Germany-Poland, where vicious fighting happened on both sides. Anxious for the arrival of the NAU, the Western European Union formally signed the Kyiv Alliance Treaty, symbolizing unity in the western front. A day later, on March 3rd, nations began picking sides, largely based on significance to their nation. The few nations that did side with the United States and ultimately the North American Union, did so begrudgingly.

March 5th saw continued naval fighting in the Baltic Sea and the Heligoland Bight. Two major battles fought here would be the Battle for the Baltics and the First Battle of Heligoland. The Battle for the Baltics would last until the end of the war, and would see various territorial changes alongside the begging of the use of armored trains with support from railway guns to transport troops. The First Battle of Heligoland took place in Cuxhaven, Germany. Western European Union troops, mostly making up of German Air Force soldiers off duty, was largely a successful defense from the Germans. Cuxhaven, being the first major town before the Elbe River, Russian soldiers from the Western Military District began a covert operation to stealthily invade Cuxhaven. Surprised by the attack, the German Air Force readied all weapons they have, including using various grounded attack helicopters' guns. Successful in repelling the Russians, the NAU officially declared the Euro-Asian Coalition their enemy.

March 14th saw the first invasions of South Africa and Liberia. This day in particular saw the First Battle of Cape Town and the First Battle of Monrovia. This was the first step in reducing NAU support and distracting them from their plans in Europe. However, no United States support showed up, and the South African and Liberian armies had to defend by themselves. In the end, they were able to defend the two cities, at the cost of almost 10 thousand deaths in civilian and military causalities.

## Caribbean Liberation

Operation Beach was the codename used for the future engagement of Haiti when they pledged support to the Euro-Asian Coalition. When promised goods and support for invading Florida, the US fought back directly, by invading Haiti. Just about to mobilize the army, the Haitian Coast Guard and national police were deployed on the island. The plan was for the United States to disguise themselves as national terrorists and to overthrow the government.

Unbeknownst to the Americans, the Haitians were ready to evacuate into Jamaica at any point. Behind closed curtains, the Haitians and the Jamicans were coerced into becoming an ally, at the risk of total invasion from their EAC allies.

Prepared to launch an attack into Port-au-Prince from Cuba and an attack into Ouanaminthe from the Dominican Republic, the American government disguised their soldiers as National Revolutionary Front rebels. The invasion started at 1:12 PM Eastern Standard Time. This initial invasion lasted for nearly 4 days as heavy resistance from Haitians ensued. Thus began the Battle for the Pearl of the Antilles, or simplified to the War for Caribbean Liberation.

## March 18th - April 26th

On March 18th, the first known use of biological warfare is used in Europe. A catastrophic error by EAC scientists testing the Green Viscidiation accidentally infects the city of Amasya, Turkey. This is known as the Amasya Incident and further destroys relations with EAC allies and the EEU. This incident in Turkey would begin the Turkish Revolution and create the Turkish Liberation Force. The first battle would take place on March 31st in Ortahisar, Nevşehir. Being part of the containment zone, there was a heavy use of military weapons from Turkey. Additional support would join the Turkish government in the form of military aide from the Western European Union and the Euro-Asian Coalition.

On April 12th, Turkish rebels seek aide from their assumed western European and American allies. Despite no official allegiance, their allies would occasionally send supplies, claiming to help support the civilians of the area.

Through the two weeks following, there would be plans to advance through Norway and Sweden into the north of the Eastern European Union by the west and NAU.

## April 26th - April 30th

Throughout the ending days of April, the North American Union would set up defenses in the Korean peninsula for the planned invasion of China. At the same time, China would have plans to invade Taiwan and Japan, however would decide to invest their forces only into Taiwan.

In Siberia, tests are demonstrated for high power nuclear explosives throughout this time period. It is unknown the caliber of these nuclear bombs and if they will ever be used.

## May 1st - May 26th

Throughout most of May, Russian forces would begin their full-scale invasion of Finland with the support of Chinese and some EEU irregulars. The first major battle would be the Siege of Oulu. On May 3rd, South African militants would resist the EAC troops in the Second Battle of Cape Town. On May 9th, Russians would begin moving troops westward towards to Alaskan/Russian border for plans to invade. On the 21st, NATO begins their reformation into The Coalition as the preface to the War of Conrad's Fist begins, marking the end of the mission of NATO in Afghanistan.

## January 2nd - February 1st

Starting in January 2022, the Euro-Asian Coalition officially declared that the use of nuclear bombs of "rare and disturbing preportions" would be used if the coalition would continue into Russia and deeper into China.

## Final Days and Collapse

On July 1st, 2022, the EAC, alongside EEU, integrated spies into troops returning from campaigns in Europe. These spies were tasked with multiple missions: one being to destroy as much of American morale as possible, using dirty bombs.

On July 16th, 2022, the Euro-Asian Coalition launched exactly 19 nuclear bombs, along with releasing the dirty bombs their spies had planted earlier. In approximation, 62,000,583 soldiers and civilians were directly affected by The Death of Mankind (name started in Puerto Rico) Washington, D.C. was alerted to two nuclear bombs and an unknown amount of dirty bombs, causing an evacuation of the city. The city of Milwaukee was later nuked without enough warning, and thus caused an immediate collapse of the American government.

The dirty bombs released by the spies across cities in enemy territory did minimal damage, however had devastating effects. For example, a series of dirty bombs in Boston, Massachusetts led to the deaths of over 4,000 and over 1,000 injured. The radiation from these bombs were high enough to issue an emergency evacuation and closure of the city, effective for a year.

With the collapse of America and ultimately the North American Union, states that were able to communicate to each other did. Member states of the People's Protection Front agreed to reemerge as a union and discuss a new America soon. Texas, with its massive support of independence-wanting citizens, became their own country. The western Midwest states were unable to meet peacefully, and instead broke up. The citizens of these different territories however claimed what they could and grouped up. This would later become Pacifica and the Cascadian Kingdom. Most of the area in between this was either contested or populated *terra nullius.*

Fighting continued after July 16th in Southern Africa and Alaska for about a week before NAU troops were forced to surrender. When attempts were made to contact the American government, there was no response. Some soldiers would stay in South Africa, while others would return to their communities. Alaskan troops from the NAU returned home or integrated themselves into Canada. Unfortunately, for many troops returning home, their homes were either laid out by the nuclear bombs, quarantined, raided, or occupied by squatters.

For Africa, the Euro-Asian Coalition established the Africa Protection Zone (APZ). This was the largest way the EAC could take control of countries in Africa without fighting wars.

For the supporters of the NAU, if they were not warzones already then they feared the worst; invasion. Any continued resistance from direct NAU allies was being toppled by the EAC. In the European theater, partisan fighters from controlled WEU countries continued to resist the government and military through guerrilla warfare. Major cities turned into warzones, decimated from repeated airborne attacks and military units. For the Western European Union, there was no more use in fighting. For the Euro-Asian Coalition, it was over; they had won almost total domination.

For what began as a disagreement between the European Union turned into a global war, which killed millions of both innocent civilians and soldiers fighting for their country. Next on EAC's hitlist was the invasion of America and South America.

## Changes as a result of the EEW

For starters, there were no major territorial differences made as a result of the ending of the Eastern European War. The most notable case of this was the People's Protection Front formation. Another notable example was the creation of the Texas Republic, Pacifica, and the Cascadia Kingdom. No major governmental authority has claimed the American Terra Nullius, however the three nations previously mentioned and the Euro-Asian Coalition plan to expand into it, grabbing more territory for themselves.

To summarize;

* Multiple notable countries were created as a result of the EEW, this includes:
	+ People's Protection Front, a confederacy that is held together by the union of multiple different states.
	+ Texas Republic, a nation that has divided itself into 5 separate states and does not associate with the PPF or the west coast.
	+ Pacifica, a republic formed in favor of voting a president and is currently at war with Cascadia.
	+ Cascadia Kingdom, a kingdom formed in favor of letting a monarch rule and is currently at war with Pacifica.
	+ Sardinia, an island off the coast of Italy that has established their autonomy and fights for the WEU.
	+ Nuweunie, a country in southern Africa that has formed largely from the NAU Underground.
	+ Hawaii, a former US state that was declared independence. Relatively untouched by any nuclear or dirty bombs.
	+ Puerto Rico, a former US territory that also declared independence.
	+ MAREZ, a former activist movement in Mexico declares independence.

* Many more smaller countries (known as settlements) were created as a way to circumvent any issues that may cause from a lack of federal aid, which includes (but is not limited to):
	+ Pagan Kingdom of Trumbull, a kingdom established in a neopagan area of Trumbull County, Ohio.
	+ Chicago Area Community, a republic governed by an oligarchy in the areas surrounding Chicago, Illinois. No officially established border has been created.
	+ Phoenix Republic, a democratic republic governed by a president that is elected to the seat in Phoenix, Arizona.
	+ Anchorage Autonomous Zone, a remnant of the USA that is currently fighting off the EAC in the area.
	+ Free City of Los Angeles, a failed state with multiple "real governments" functioning
