1986: Red Push

In the days following the fall of the Soviet Union and the re-joining of the two Germanies, what starts as a small war between two rival nations looking to settle old scores, leads to a larger conflict.

May 20, 1992
As the Cold War's violent series of proxy conflicts spread to Central America both the Russians and the United States rushed to install governments that would further their own interests in the region, the Left-wing Sandinistas went into and out of power several times as the American backed Contra insurgents fought them in a bloody and endless civil war. However as the fighting winded down with the waning power of the Soviet Union, helped along by liberalizations from Mikhail Gorbachev the support of the shaky banana repubics waned as each government found themselves suddenly having to support themselves in their own internal endeavours. As the USSR broke up the Sandinistas solidified their control of the Nicaruagua, the Far-right Despot General Ignacio Sanchez settled into power as President of Hinduras as he beat back the small groups of left-wing rebels fighting in the fringes of his growing nation. Being a man of strong convictions he couldn't stand the idea of a communist nation sitting just across the border from his own nation and promised his close advisors that he would squash the communist barbarians of Nicaragua.

Using the vast amounts of money roling in from the thriving fruit industry, coupled with the discovery of oil deposits along the coast he had plenty of money to fianance a massive military buildup and soon purchased millions of dollars worth of military equipment from anyone who would sell to him. Outside Honduras, Fidel Castro determined to help the struggling Sandinistas secure their nation from the Contras began to send military equipment and aid to the Nicarauguan government directly along with a few dozen military advisors to help train local militias and the Nicaraguan Army.
