Ciudad Juarez was a city in Mexico which was destroyed on Doomsday as collateral damage from the strike on its American sister city, El Paso. The majority of the population of 610,000 was killed or injured in the carnage after Doomsday. Following Mexican President Miguel de la Madrid's decision to relocate the capital, which today is known as Mexica, DCF, Ciudad Juarez was legally designated as the Ruins of The Juarez (Ruinas de Juárez), a historical heritage site of which the majority is off-limits to the public. Ciudad Juarez was never rebuilt by the Mexican government and remains as a permanent memorial to serve as a reminder to humanity of World War III.
Post-Doomsday History[]
The majority of Ciudad Juarez's city limits were destroyed on Doomsday, as the city was adjacent to El Paso and also ruined by the 1MT nuclear detonation that destroyed it. Of the 610,000 residents, over two-thirds were killed and wounded. The Municipal President of Ciudad Juárez José Reyes Estrada was also killed by the detonation over El Paso. The devastation shocked the rest of the Mexican state of Chihuahua.
In the years following the city's destruction, various families have reclaimed properties on its outskirts, although the city's heart has been declared the Ruinas de Juárez Parque Nacional to remind Mexicans of the consequences of nuclear armament and its cost on even the innocent who lived adjacent to states that employ these weapons.
