World War III: Rise of the Mechas
Created for more technologically advanced warfare, Mechas are fairly new yet already have seen and experienced much in the ways of battle. They first appeared on the scene when a group of scientists were fiddling with creating androids for use in combat as opposed to human soldiers. Once they were developed and shipped to the military, a rival group raced to design their own Mechas. Hostility between the nations of Earth grew as news spread of these superior combat weapons being added to the ground, air, and underwater forces of multiple countries. It created the Third World War.
Choosing Sides
Two main groups rose up against each other, each threatened by the enemies’ latest models: The Atlantic Alliance and the Eurasian Alliance. Both are made up of smaller factions, countries allied with each other against the other side. Since space exploration was at a stand-still, some countries took to conquering new territories of Earth.
The Atlantic Alliance is named for the countries that make up a large part of the faction, those surrounding the Atlantic Ocean: The United States of North America, Canada, and South America, as well as a few countries of Europe (Britain, Germany, Spain) and part of Africa, as well as Japan. The Eurasian Alliance is named for the European and Asian countries that came together against the Atlantic Alliance nations: France, Italy, Russia, China, and the Middle East.
The rest of the world, such as the other half of Africa (Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya), Australia, and forever neutral countries like Switzerland, remained out of the conflict. Some stayed completely neutral, while others aided one side without actually joining in order to keep safe from attack by choosing one side or the other, or refusing aid to both and becoming neither an ally or enemy.
Neutrality, though, grew difficult as the war raged on. More countries were put under pressure to join together and crush the opposition, or taken over by one side and used against the other. The main forces of these wars were Mechas. Hundreds were being made and sent out into combat, replacing human soldiers but still inflicting major casualties. A stand-still brought the war nearly to a halt. During this time, political pressure was exerted on the neutral countries. Those who weren’t fighting were invaded and military forces were put in place to use against neighboring enemy nations.
However, rebel factions began to rise from the ashes of neutral nations, fighting back against both sides and reclaiming land for those who couldn’t stand up against the AA and EA. Political figures created secret societies that overthrew their leaders and caused mass chaos within the factions, while common soldiers defected from one side to the other, or went their own separate ways to join a rebellion or neutral force.
As of yet, there is no clear winner, nor any sight of the end of the war.
Timeline
~Current Era: Anno Domini (A.D.)~
~Current Year: 2033~
~Current Year: 2033~
Nations of the current faction known as the Atlantic Alliance were experimenting with new weapon technology to combat the threat of nuclear energy. They’ve been working on artificial intelligence and mobile suits for over twenty years. When nations of what is now the Eurasian Alliance found out about the new technology they felt threatened. Sending in spies to discover the weapons’ development, they hastily began building their own. Tension mounted for a few years, while nations used the Mecha technology for animals to create Machinamals in order to distract civilians from the power plays.
The factions didn’t join together officially until the war began. China first declared war on the United States, who had been working with Japan on the Mechas. Iran was then working with China and began an assault on Europe, who joined the Atlantic Alliance. All others fell in line shortly after. It became a third world war in the year 2030.
