Timeline (Immune Americas)

This is a timeline for the Immune Americas page. Most of the events will be focused in the Americas until later. Europe remains mostly the same before Colombus's voyage.

Polynesian Expansion into the Americas
In approximately 800 BCE, Polynesians navigators first landed in southern Chile in the Arauco Peninsuola, in regions inhabited by the Patagonian native peoples. Polynesians brought with them several diseases from Eurasia as well as the Polynesian Rat, a ferocious scavenger and adaptable species that would devastate the Argentine ecosystem. Throughout 800 BC to near the birth of christ, Polynesian peoples would become more land based and spread throughout Argentina and some of Bolivia, wiping out and subjugating native peoples along the way. The Hakinui culture was founded along the coast, which was similar to Rapa Nui and traditional polynesian cultures, while the Iwtio cultures would spread across the mainland. The Polynesian Rat would also spread across the Americas and plagues would devastate the early Olmec and Maya civilizations. Eventually, like eurasian peoples, the native peoples of the Americas would become accustomed to these diseases and would boom in population.

Nazca-Polynesian Wars
By 500 BCE, several polynesian nation states had formed in the southern cone. Most of these were more technologically advanced than the American civilizations of the Nazca Culture in Peru. Archaeological evidence found in these areas show of battles between Nazca city states and polynesian tribes. These battles led to more technological advancement in the Nazca peoples that allowed them to eventually form a unified empire by 1 AD to combat constant polynesian raiding. Polynesian tribes would also form nations in the southern cone. In 5 AD, the Nazca Empire would successfully conquer Polynesian Aymara and reign victorious over the invaders.
