Talk:A World of War: World 7 The Great Depression/@comment-5590986-20161128214519

Im gonna try to write some lore for this (warning: a bit americancentric but thats the marking place for the split so it becomes important)

On Jan. 2017, the world watched when Donald Trump became president of the United States of America. In his first year of office, Trump gathered a coalition against ISIL, basing the superpowers of Russia, the USA, and members of NATO. By the end of 2017, after a 3 month period of fighting, the remaining pockets of ISIL forces collapsed and terrorism was declared swept from the region. Many countries looked to each other, seeing a possible global peace with their teamwork.

It all came to an end when the US, under pressure of their new ally of Russia, had left NATO (Donald Trump Executive Order 13900) in early 2018 when it's eastern members refused to spend more on its military budget as per deal of the NATO. This left Germany, Britain, and France as the top powers for NATO. However, disputes began to rang when the 3 countries bicker about which direction the NATO should go. The intensity got so bad that by October 23rd, 2018, NATO was disbanded from infighting, followed by the EU in late january 2019. Because of the collapse of the EU, it took a damaging hit on the world economy sending the world into another global (but light) depression (but not as bad as the great depression, as counter measures were ensured to be prepared). Despite the intensity of the depression was somewhat light, radical groups took the oppurtunity online to gain strength in numbers in nationalism.

A nationalist wave overtook the world in later 2019, with countries falling to either communism or fascism. Corporations quickly fled to the unaffected countries. After being on their last legs, the remaining unaffected countries gave in to the demands of corporations to take over the economy to fix it and by 2020, the lines of government and businesses had blurred. However, the global economy had stabilized thanks to the help of the corporations in key countries of Russia, the US, and even China (which starts to lean toward corporatism instead of communism, as they became the final hook that helped saved the global economy)
