User blog:Scandinator/Pre History of the Chronicles of the War

This is a brief history leading to and including the novel which I am writing. If you which to read the novel it is on my blog page. This history will form as more details are revealed.

Point of Divergence
The Point of Divergence is in the present time. The uprisings in the Middle East are much more powerful and affect more countries. Revolutions take place across the Middle East and also China...

Arab Spring (2010 to 2012)
There are revolutions in multiple Arab governments. Peaceful handovers include Tunisia, Jordan and Kuwait. Some violence occurs in Oman, Lebabnon, Egypt and Algeria. However civil war breaks out in Syria, Libya, Yemen, Bahrain, Iran, Sudan and Djibouti. These wars all have ended by halfway through 2012 all are wins for the protestors.

Second Korean War (2012 to 2014)
Another Koreaan dispute at the end of 2012 erupts into war. Trench warfare occurs through most of the war as the South Koreans stay totally defensive never losing one inch of ground but manage to maintain air and sea superiority throughout the entire war. By mid 2014 the North Korean Army's morale is near colapse and South Korean inelligence orders a big push. The war is over less than a month later as the UN pressured China not to go in. Korea is finally reunified.

Caucasian War of Independence (2015 to 2021)
Heavy fighting occurs in the Caucasus Mountains as many minority peoples rebel. After six bloody years of war, Russia finally gives up and allows nine new countries to declare independence. Georgia is also forced to allow two states to declare independence. Meanwhile, Armenia stops their war with Azerbaijan as international attention goes to it. The result of the war is 50% of Azerbaijan is occupied by Armenia. The countries of Abkhazstan and South Ossetia form out of Georgia and Russia allows the independence of Ossetia, Balkaristan, East Circasian, West Circasian, North Dagestan, South Dagestan, Chechnya, Karachay and Ingushetia.

US Conquest of the Baja California Peninsula (2018)
The USA attacks and takes the Baja California Peninsula from Mexico in an astonishingly fast three day campaign. Baja California Peninsula is intergrated into California. The speed of the attack allowed little time for condemnation or support for Mexico. USA ended the war on the third day with an ultimatum: No more war or Mexico City goes BOOM!

The Fourth Balkan War (2024 to 2029)
Serbia attacked Kosovo in late 2024. By mid 2025, Serbia has taken Montenegro, Kosovo, Northern Macedonia and parts of Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina as they each join the war. The Serbs ally with the Albanians and attack Romania and Bulgaria in a pre-emptive strike. By 2027, Serbia is on the verge of winning the war but suddenly with the collapse of the UN and the EU, Italy, Hungary, Ukraine, Greece, Turkey and Russia all simultaneously attack Serbia. Serbia puts up a stiff resistance, not giving any ground at all. Russia finally ends the war by dropping the worlds first nanite bomb on Belgrade in late 2028. Seria immediately surrenders and is carved up by its neighbours. The final piece of Yugoslavia is consumed.

Collapse of the UN (2027)
The UN ineffective in the Balkan conflict and numerous wars previous, collapses due to nations declaring that they are leaving. A shadow of the OTL UN remains with the US at its head. However slowly nations one by one are still leaving.

Collapse of the EU (2027)
The main contributor to the collapse of the UN is the fracturing of the EU during the Balkan War. With the collapse of the UN the EU quickly disintegrates and rival shadow EUs lead by France and Germany are all that is left.

Collapse of NATO (2028)
Due to tensions between France, Germany and Italy; NATO also collapses.

Nanite Bomb (2020s, first used in 2028 on Belgrade)
The nanite bomb is a small plastic capsule that contains tiny nano bots programmed to 'Destroy and Reproduce' when a certain signal (unique for each bomb) is sent back via satelite or when the nanobots hit the ground, all the nanobots fry their electronics and deactivate. They erupt from the plastic casing and spread over a predetermined radius and then slowly fall obliterating everything until the shut down signal is received or they hit the ground. Belgrade is now only a glittering plain of useless impure metal.
