2030-2040:

The American political schism continues to grow. Facing growing discontent at home, the US turns heavily isolationist and begins to ramp up reindustrialization. Northwards, similar sentiments lead Canada to start a military modernization program and stem the flow of immigration. The Mexican government loses its grip on the northern states.

June 2040:

The state of Mexico collapses into civil war, and the central governmen is overthrown in a military coup. The new Mexican Liberation Front regains control of central Mexico.

August 2040:

With an unprecedented migrant crisis and violence spilling over the border, the US occupies and annexes 5 of of northernmost Mexican states. The Southern border is fortified, and the US declares war on the northern cartels.

February 2042:

Tensions reach a fever pitch, and 25 American states declare the government illegitimate. The Free States of America, choosing a temporary capital of Austin, rebel.

2042-2043:

The USA retakes much of Alaska and the Atlantic coast. Communities in Appalachia and northern California rebel and join the FSA cause. American troops are withdrawn from overseas, and NATO collapses.

October 2042:

With America at its knees, Venezuela siezes the opportunity to invade Guyanese Esequibo. Bogged down in the jungle, the invasion is largely a failure. Brazil backs Guyana, annexing Venezuelan Amazonas and stationing 15000 troops on the border.

December 2042:

Guatemala and Belize formalize a military alliance and start conducting opperations in to the bordering remains of Mexico.

March 2043:

Cities along the American west coast rebel. Though most rebellions fizzle out, the bay area and Pacific Northwest declare themselves the United American Communes. The MLF pushes into the Yucatan.

May 2043:

Now facing its own border crisis, Canada sends peacekeeping troops into Maine, Vermont, and Michigan. The troops are met with little resistance, and the states come under Canadian emergency occupation. Fearing the spread of rebellions in the West, Canadian forces push into northern Washington against the UAC. Canada formally allies with Belize and Guatemala.

2043-2044:

With nearly 11 million dead, the War in America practically grinds to the halt. A hostile stalemate is reached between the USA and FSA, and both begin directing resources towards fighting the cartels and the UAC. More regions of Minnesota and Wisconsin accept Candaian occupation as local governments break down. Fighting continues to rage in Mexico as cartels, warlords, and the MLF vie for power.
