2nd American Civil War

**The Second American Civil** was a war fought in the United States between the years of 2018 and 2023. The war broke out between the United States Government and the Free American Army (FAA) as a result of longstanding political divisions, kleptocracy, corruption, and economic issues the country faced. The war broke out in August of 2018 when factions of army personnel rebelled against the Military controlled government that had overthrown the previous government back in July.

These forces loyal to there former administration would for what would be called the Free American Army with a larger paramilitary force being formed called the Neo-Confederate Army. The FAA would make major gains in the first few months due to a pre-army rebellion operation to knock out the United States power grid.

Both the United States Government and FAA where quick to raise armies. The FAA were able to raise on army of over 4 Million men by the end of the war with half of them being volunteers.

The US Government on the other hand was desperate in the first few months of the war to raise an army with the US Government calling for militia's to be raised and foreign support for help. The US Government was able to regain it's former size back to 1 Million combat ready men by June of 2019, and by the end of the war the US Government had around 7 Million active personnel. Border conflicts along the Canadian and Mexican Borders caused both countries to quadruple the size of both countries armies, Mexico entered after FAA forces had crossed into Mexico during the Battle of Brownsville and Canada enter the war after coming under threat for the FAA and it's allies. Canada Entered the in January of 2019. Many NATO members did come to the aid of the US when called for help with Turkey, France, and the United Kingdom being the largest European contributors. Many other non-NATO nations also contributed to the War with Brazil, Chile, Cuba, Australia, and New Zealand all sending over troops.

The US Government was able to win the war in December of 2023 when due to a collapsing structure and internal infighting they able to push into the FAA's capital of Montgomery, Alabama and sign a the Montgomery accords putting forth the unconditional surrender of the FAA.

Five years of deadly and intense combat had left around 2,000,000 dead on the Government side and 3,000,000 Dead (2/3 of the FAA and allied combatants) with 16,000,000 Civilians dying in the war (2/3 of which being the result of famine). It's was the deadliest conflict in American history and the deadliest civil war since the Taiping Rebellion.

The effect the war had on both the Government and Rebel controlled area's of the war (as well as the Texan and Libertarian fronts) had a great impact on the Economy, Infrastructure, and culture of the country as well as having a huge impact on the world, with the United States losing its status as a world superpower with it's Neighbors Canada and Mexico taking over as world super powers.

The United States would enter an a brief era of time called the 'Second Reconstruction Era' but this would be cut short due to the start of World War 3 and the Russian Invasion of the US. Afterwards the US would enter a third era of reconstruction, but would never end up recovering from both conflicts.

Lack of unity in the country would further facilitate it's self with the breaking away of states Such as Texas, most southern states, and California right after the end of World War 3.

The war saw the first use of Nuclear weapons since World War 2 but on a very small scale. Most launches of ICBMs where a result of faulty and outdated hardware the ICBMs. The UN would call an emergency meeting on the repeated use of nuclear weapons in the US and suspend the country from the United Nations and call for a cease-fire to dispose of all nuclear weapons in the country. This would lead to a further call for all nuclear weapon possessing countries to get rid of there nuclear weapons, thought Great Britain and France would be the only country to abide to these rules.

The War would become the most covered in American News history and bring the rise of citizen journalism due to it being the most recorded war on digital film.
