Pre War
2012 -2096
In America war is normal.
Some still say the comming of the third war was started by the war on terrorism and America. Slowly as we populated our own home planet global warming took it's hold, extinction rates were so out of hand scientists started collecting DNA samples on ice from endangered species rather than save them. Within three years Tigers, Cheetah's, African lions, Polar Bears, Sea Lions, Great Whites, Blue Whales, Gorilla's, Chimpanzee, Giraffe, and the Black Rhinoceros had all but vanished. Only those in zoo's were left standing but the mass extinction didn't end there. As the world temperature went up races continued to drop off, viruses formed in the hot tropics and started killing the cattle.
India took the hardest hit, most of the people starving in the streets. Children left without parents, and America still using up more and more resources in their war. During these tense times scientists tried to find a relief, a quick fix and for a while we had found one. Yet quick fixes never last long and once the major strain was solved they never sat back down to think it through again or correct the issues. The only answer was clean fuel but even if we could discover perfectly clean fuel it was already too late. The gears of war were already set in motion.
Time went on and famine hit again, livestock starved, crops withered, and our supply of fossil fuels were dwindling. The first of the wars were savage wars. Fights over fuel, fights over food. We were like animals beating out neighbors to death for clean water. Third world countries fell into chaos as China built up forces. Everyone was weak, the governments were failing. Within five years three American presidents were killed. No one could fix the crashing economy and fear issued. When new means of energy were thought up the major powers breathed a sigh of releife. Economies recovered and we survived our close call but the tension and the crimes between countries remained. In 2098 the first signs of a third world war were noticed when China took Japan and used their technology to improve their military.
