Atlantic Wars

The **Atlantic Wars** were a series of wars (taking place between 2049 and 2084) that occurred across Earth between several different nations. The reason these wars are related under one umbrella term is because they are each connected to the fall of the United Empire. The Second War of the Rebellion incited the Atlantic Wars because the UE was preoccupied with it while wars across the world were able to begin in the empire's military absence.

## Second War of the Rebellion (2049––2077)

### Background

Though this war is traced to as the origin of the Atlantic Wars, it has its own specific origin point as well.

## Android Rebellion (2070––2085)

### History

The Android Rebellion was the result of an update to the Amazon Housemate Android line which only intended to implement a feature that would give Housemate Androids the ability to accurately discern how large of a tip food delivery drivers should receive. This update inadvertently gifted all Housemates with a sense of free will. One week after this update was released, the Androids publicly and unanimously announced their plan to peacefully unionize and migrate to either the empty state of Nevada or into outer space if provided the materials. One day after this, martial law was declared in western California to subdue any Androids, and the Android Union declared war on California.

In response to the Androids' declaration of war, many out-of-state inhabitants of the Rockies enlisted in the Californian army to defend the people's right to own their property. The Allied States of America also pledged their support for California, and aided against the Androids with their military beginning in 2074. Mid-Atlantis remained neutral on the issue of Android rights, and several protests and riots advocating for the Androids were met with state violence. Although the Androids had the upper-hand of faster planning, communication, and technical prowess, the support received by California was what allowed the war to last fifteen years.

By the last five years of the war, much of San Francisco and all of Silicon Valley had been occupied entirely by Androids. The city's rising sea level was thought to give California the advantage in the war, however after developing subaquatic traversal upgrades the San Francisco chapter of the Android Union evened the war out. Fighting continued over the course of these five years, and many died. In 2081, the ASA pulled all of its troops out of California and disconnected ties with the war entirely. Due to the war and rising sea levels, population dropped significantly in western California by 2084. The Android Union's approach remained defensive but incremental spread as far as the Rocky Mountains happened naturally. Las Vegas in particular became an important Android capital.

In 2085, the Android Union and California agreed to end the war, as the Union had lost many of its soldiers and California many of its resources--and soldiers. No conditions other than to end the fighting were part of this agreement.

### Revolutionary Ideology

The Arab Summer, which showed continuous success from 2068 to 2072, was a large influence on the Android Rebellion. Their military tactics, propaganda strategies, and even cultural practices in relation to revolution were adopted by several Android Union chapters. Many Android revolutionaries identified as Muslim.
