Great American War

**Timeline of the GAW.**

The **Great American War** or (GAW) was a conflict in Colenia 8.0 involving UN and American Federation forces combating the Brazilian/Owoists in a fight to defend the American Continent from falling.

**The War Begins**

Prior to 6:46 EST, Brazil began making suspicious troop movements near Panama. The alarm was immediately sounded, and at 6:46 EST, realmichael made the call to war, moving to Alert Level A. The surprise attack was somewhat known before actually initiated, but the Brazilian Forces moved too quickly for a full mobilization to take place.

**The Canal War**

Within mere minutes of the declaration of war and the rally in Panama, Brazilian forces struck quickly and initiated the Battle of the Panama Canal. Mcl5, JakeRambo, and other Federation and Allied forces had barely arrived in the region before being struck, and the Brazilian use of Chloroform to paralyze Allied Forces lead to an almost immediate rout by many forces, with American Forces not even being able to declare war before being set upon. Many Mexican soldiers were immediately killed, such as SirLumi, and many other allied troops were killed, such as the Polish Brigades.

Near the end of the battle, the forces almost broke, and it appeared that the Brazilians had won. Realmichael attempted to return to the battle, was chloroformed and cornered by Brazilian forces, and then killed, despite having escaped the initial ambush. However, after returning, Tee and other Roman reinforcements arrived with Chloroform, helping turn the tide of the battle. The FFS Doulant, the ship assigned to defend the canal, was briefly hijacked by the Brazilians but was retaken by Allied forces shortly after. Soon after, many dead allied members returned to the battle, picking up what gear they could, and pushing the Brazilians back to the sea.

Despite this, the war was not over. Soon after, the Brazilian forces would withdraw from the Canal, choosing to fight on the Home front in Brazil. By now, the full strength of the Allies was able to be realized, with many non-coalition nations joining the war due to individual alliances. This inflated the number of Allied Combatants to roughly 20. By then, communication was organized and the overall command of all forces was established.

**The Brazilian Front**

Soon after, the order was given to warp to Brazil. After a few minutes of organizing was done, the general order to charge into Braz was given, and what quickly became a free for all combat began. The combat was a stalemate for a long time, despite overwhelming numbers, organization and logistical issues prevented those numbers from being successfully used. The Dauntless soon arrived as Air Support, attempting to bomb the Brazilians, but it was disabled and crashed into the sea soon after. The battle continued on, with more reinforcements slowly turning the tide of the war. The battle began to close with the final Skirmish in the Capital, with it being revealed that hitler I mean the Owoists were actually the Brazilians. A number of individual skirmishes wound down the war across the country, and as the Brazilians were banned, the Allies declared victory.

**The Result of the War**

The war ended with Brazil being disbanded and 1.2m in reparations being paid to the Allies. Trinidad rolled back and claimed the ruins of Brazil, and they are to be claimed as a museum pending approval by the AFGA.
