## History

In 2022 after Red Plague was discovered to have infected 50% of the American population it went into lockdown. It's last transmission was to the United Nations to send them a message when the outbreak was over. However this message never came, Because of this Altis remained isolated with its high quantity of natural Earth minerals. It was left alone as the Extinction War raged on.

2122 a ship was spotted off the coast and a couple destroyers moved in to intercept. After landing at the dock the crew were immediately questioned. The ship belonged to the Carolina Union who was trying to reach Europe. After this revelation Altis went out of lock down.

In 2189 an attack by Republic terrorists sparked war between Altis and the United Islands of America. 3 wars were fought between the two. In 2195 Altis and UIA forces clashed in Washington D.C.

In 2231 a massive cruise missile strike occurred on the UIA. UIA retaliated by a naval invasion of the island. However after 5 years of fighting and 1 million dead the UIA retreated.

In 2268 another war broke out. This is the war followed in Promise. Altian soldiers attacked UIA forces outside of York City. Soon Altis forces stormed an invasion of Pennsylvania and Washington D.C. However they were no match. UIA forces annihilated Altis forces with some help from the Carolina Union. Altis retreated and the wars were seen as endless.

In 2271 the Continental War began. Altis on the side of the Republic of America began another invason of UIA and Carolina shores. Altis and ROA forces moved in and blockaded York City. Fighting commenced in the cities. However a massive conscription event saw 500,000 troops push back Altis and ROA forces. Soon ROA was collapsing after major defeats and pushes into there territory and independence of the GLU. In 2276 UIA forces sent an Ultimatum to Altis to surrender of be annihilated. In 2271 an invasion commanded by Pariah saw a swift end to the Altis regime with 10,000 soldiers landing on the shore.

UIA forces circled in around the capital and the president commited suicide and the remaining Altis and Altian militias surrendered. Afterwards UIA forces occupied it for 5 years before it became the Altian Republic.
