State of the world: 2020-24

Brief explanation of the state of the world(Mostly the United States of America)

America

By 2020 the economy was in shambles, and the people's trust in the president eroded. The election of 2020 was one of the fiercest and close elections in history, if not the most, between Democratic Alfred Grey and Republican Jeffrey king. Armed gangs roamed the streets, beating political enemies. Clashes across the country left at least thirty dead, hundreds arrested.

Both men were legends of their time. Grey was an esteemed general in the army, and was a senator from Oregon. King was a successful entrepreneur and business magnate. Both of them were popular with the public. Grey spoke for middle-class and minorities, while King espoused the poor-working class.

The race intensified when it was discovered Grey rigged the DNC to vote him in as the Democratic nominee. It didn't help when he was also accused of corruption and blackmail. Anti-fas ran through the street, targeting King supporters. The media covered up for Grey, instead focusing on something King said over twenty years ago. This angered the population even more.

On election day voters from all across the country piled on the voting booths, eager to choose the fate of the nation. It was an extremely close race, but Jeffrey King managed to pull off a victory. The country for the most part rejoiced, while the Democrat sulked.

Already for the start things became scandalous. King's cabinet and advisors were made up of his closest friends-known as the "Big-shot Gang." They advised King on all matters, and convinced him to initiate the Washington protocol. King was already an aggressive man, who believed the U.S. needed to renew the spirit of "Manifest Destiny", was eager for the "Washington Protocol" which called for American expansion. So when his secretary of state Charles Holmes nudged him forwards, he began to act. He got the Canadian prime minister to form a American-Canadian Federation, though

the U.S. would ultimately be in charge.

King sent soldiers to Mexico, which was on the verge of collapse, to "re-establish stability", a de facto occupation of the entire country. He sent the marines throughout the Caribbean sea, landing troops on Cuba, Puerto Rico, Bahamas, Jamaica, Haiti, and the Dominican Republic. Within three months, King had control of the entirety of North America.

King's popularity plummeted. Nearly 60% of Americans believed he was abusing his powers. Riots erupted across the country, and the military was called in to suppress the threat. Thousands of people were killed, wounded and arrested during the two months known as "Riot Rumble". Eventually many people got sick of it and revolted. Millions of Anti-fas, liberals, Socialists, Anarchists, Democrats and the radicalized Communist terrorist group Black Lives Matter took arms and led a campaign of terror across the nation. BLM took an especially gruesome campaign of targeting whites and Asians. Nearly 10,000 people died within the first week. The military and police retaliated, arresting and executing thousands of left-leaning individuals. Right-wing militias joined them, fighting the liberal rebels. The KKK resurged, reaching four million members. They fought in pitched battles in major cities such as Chicago. At first the rebellion was popular, but the public opinion soon changed after the numerous atrocities committed by the leftist rebels became apparent. The KKK also killed thousands of African Americans during the war, with some estimates claiming nearly 100,000 were murdered. In all, more than two million died during the "Revolution" from 2021-3.

All this time rebellions popped up in the occupied nations, and the U.S. and its collaborators failed to rein them in. At first the resistance distributed leaflets, to which the U.S. troops rounded up random individuals and executed them. This in turned to peaceful protests, which the U.S. responded by firing at the protesters. This finally transformed to armed resistance. Guerrilla fighters ambushed patrols and assassinated high ranking individuals. They began fighting the occupiers in full fledged battles, fully supported the populace. They were provided with munitions, food and volunteers. They slowly liberated their countries, pushing the U.S. and the collaborators out. The Colonial War cost the U.S. and their collaborators nearly nine million casualties, while the resistance and occupied people suffered eight million deaths alone. By 2025 U.S. troops left all foreign soil.

Protests had sprung up once again in the USA. Thousand had gathered by the Lincoln memorial, where president King and vice president Harris Teller was addressing the protesters. Suddenly explosions erupted all across the memorial, killing the president and vice president. Security fired down at the protesters, who tried to run away. Over 5,000 people died that day. No one knows who really set up the explosives, but that was the final straw. Millions of militias sprung up, attacking military and security forces. The KKK And BLM once again took up arms and fought a bitter race war.

The deaths of president King and vice president Teller threw the government in chaos. The "Big-shot Gang" quickly decided to place Charles Holmes as acting president. He quickly took control, sending the army and police to defeat the rebels, fighting in every major city. In New York City, the almost quarter of a million militiamen turned the entire city into a fortress. The U.S. marines and army began a bloody battle to take back New York City, with millions of civilians stuck in the middle.

In late 2023, the Southern states grew tired of being under Federal control, and reestablished the Confederacy. When he heard of the Confederacy, Holmes ordered the army to squash the rebels. One by one, other regions declared independence: Cascadia, Texas, Alaska, Hawaii, Appalachia, The Great Lakes Confederation, The Confederation of the Rocky Mountains, New England, Dakota Federation, Delmarva, Deserit and Blackstone Valley all became foreign states, with heads-of-states and fielding militaries.

Washington D.C. was under attack immediately, first from rebels, then from the Delmarvan, Confederate and New English Troops. The Confederates and Floridan militaries surrounded and destroyed the U.S. marines down in Tampa.

Within four years, nearly three million people have already died.

Europe

Russia's military leaders watched with interest as the USA fell into chaos, and decided to go forth with their plan to conquer Eastern Europe. Along with their ally Belarus, they launched a blitzkrieg campaign into Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Finland, Moldova, Hungary and Ukraine, and quickly took over the countries with overwhelming military strength. They then invaded Poland, Sweden and Bulgaria. The other European nations watching quickly gathered their armies and prepared to defend themselves against the Russian onslaught. Bulgaria, Romania, and Slovakia fell next, and Sweden was reeling back in defeat.

In late 2021, A force of Russian, Belarusian, Baltic, Polish, Ukrainian, Poles, Hungarians, Romanians, Bulgarians, and Moldovans launched an invasion of Germany, surrounding Berlin and Frankfurt. The Germans, desperately defending their country, receives help from French, Austrian, Benelux and other European nations, bolstering its armies and pushing the Russians and their allies away from Germany and back into Poland. As the Europeans crossed the Polish borders, Polish resistance fighters sprang up to hasten the overthrow the Russian conquerors.

In 2023, The Swedes launch a major counteroffensive, with help from Norwegians, Danish and English troops, and pushed the Russians all the way out of Sweden. They continue to advance through Finland, liberating territory held by the Russians.

The Russians setup brutal regimes in their occupied territories, arresting tens of thousands of people and taking them back to Russia. They murdered hundreds of thousands of people, and in the case of Ukraine, millions. They used native collaborators to enforce their laws, patrol their streets and fight in the frontlines. They cracked down on the resistance, hanging partisans and executing innocent civilians. But as they get pushed back to Russia, the liberated people take up arms and join the Europeans, eager for revenge for the injustices committed against them.

Asia

In 2021, North Korea launched a huge offensive against South Korea. They captured Seoul in the first few months, but the South Koreans persevered against the North Korean onslaught. The North Koreans push continuously the South Koreans back to the sea. The South Korean army finally surrendered, where they were sent to prison camps. The North Koreans quickly began capturing, beat, and murdered the native populations. The South Korean resistance grew as the years went by, until they became a professional army, capable of going head-to-head with the North Koreans.

China also launched their own offensives in Southeast Asia. They invaded Thailand, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Myanmar. They also launched an amphibious invasion of Taiwan, sending hundreds of jets to bomb the entire island-nation to pieces. The Chinese marines landed across the entire island, and began the pushing the defenders back into a small corner. After two years the Chinese killed millions of Taiwanese, and they surrendered.

China invaded Nepal and Mongolia, taking them within months. This scared India and Malaysia, now bordering China. They began negotiations with the other Asian nations and signed a defense agreement. Japan wanted to stay neutral, so didn't join the agreement.

In late 2023, 700,000 Chinese troops invaded Malaysia, pushing the Malaysian Army back. Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Philippines sent soldiers to Malaysia, trying to stop the Chinese army back. Millions of soldiers are fighting around Kuala Lumpur, trying to save the capital of malaysia.

In 2024, 30,000 North Koreans landed in Okinawa, surprising the 18,000 Japanese defenders. They took over most of the island, except for Kunigami and Uruma. They attacked Ogimi village, almost taking it, before being pushed back by a Japanese counteroffensive. Both the North Koreans and Japanese land extra reinforcements to continue the bloody battle.

Middle East

In 2020, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria and Jordan planned to attack Israel, to destroy them for the final time. They also wanted to help the Palestinians, who were being heavily hounded by the Israelis. The Israelis caught wind of the plan, however, and decided to launch their own offensive.

They invaded Lebanon, destroying all resistance in three weeks. They also launched an offensive into Jordan, Syria and Egypt, before being pushed back by Egyptian, Jordanian and Syrian forces. Syria launched an offensive into Lebanon, and became caught in a bloody stalemate with the Israelis.

The Palestinians, supplied by the Egyptians, launched several terrorist attacks against the Israelis, killing nearly 1,000 civilians.

The Egyptian, Syrian, and by now the Iraqi air force bombed Israel, killing tens of thousands of people. The Israelis responded by launching several missiles against Syria. The Israelis launch another offensive in early 2024, pushing the Egyptians all the way back to the Suez. The Iraqis began to send soldiers to Syria, who are beginning to amass a huge force for an offensive.
