The Last War

(Disclaimer:  THIS TIMELINE IS NOT MEANT TO BE ENTIRELY REALISTIC IN TERMS OF PLAUSIBILITY AND SCIENCE  )

The Last War is an alternate timeline, actually rather an actual possible speculative timeline, well in the beginning at least, it's complicated but let's just say The Last War is an alternate timeline based off of imagination and a now once again serious and plausible possibility, but let's ignore this and get to what it's actually about lol. Anyways, The Last War is an alternate timeline based off of imagination and recent events that details a "what-if?" scenario in which the current Israeli-Palestinian War breaks out into global thermonuclear war, everything goes the same as in our timeline but instead Russia and China break the agreement of laying down nuclear weapons during the war and start arming themselves preparing for war. On October 1st, 2021, the last war started, nobody knows how it started, some speculate that a rogue Russian soldier who was an anarchist guarded a Russian nuclear silo and broke into the silo and launched all of it's missiles along the west coast of the U.S and the U.S in retaliation fired back and M.A.D was set into place, this scenario was the most likely. After The Last War also called The Day of Death everybody went into nuclear bunkers and nothing happened for roughly 13 years until the American government ordered its officials and soldiers to venture back on land and inch by inch more and more people began venturing back onto the surface, now having to adapt to their new, radioactive, dangerous, contaminated, hostile, and mutated world. Society would never be the same...

Breaking of the nuclear agreement
During the Israeli-Palestinian war in our timeline Russia and China signed a agreement that nuclear weapons would not be used during the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian War (correct me if I'm wrong, I heard that off the new lol) which also happened during this timeline however in this timeline during a peaceful warm august morning on August 17th, 2021 the agreement was broken unexpectedly by Russia whose relations instantly worsened with the rest of the world including China due to the sudden opting out of the agreement, and a month later tensions escalated and China and the U.S had just declared war on each other, however they promised to keep it only to naval skirmishes which unlike the last promise/agreement was actually kept until Russia joined in on the war and denied the promise, then all hell broke loose.

Declaration of The Last War
Once Russia joined the ongoing Sino-American war now named The War of Giants they followed the promise even though they denied the signing of the agreement but however on August 28th, 2021 Russia landed troops on American soil occupying all of Alaska, this angered the U.S soo much that the current American president Joe Biden declared in an infamous speech

"Russia has done the unpredictable, yesterday they landed Russian troops on American soil, and were victorious against our mighty troops, this is the final nail in the coffin, there's no turning back now, this will be the last war, either for humanity or for Russia, it all ends soon Russia! God bless America!"

- Joe Biden, August 28th, 2021

It was final, total war had just broken out, soon enough his speech would become true, though not in the way he wanted it to come true...

Outbreak of WW3
Quickly after Russian troops occupied Alaska all of NATO joined in on the war and later the whole entire UN would too, however most countries afraid to partake in the war left the UN in hopes of survival, some nations broke away from the UN to join Russia and China's side which was now called the Alliance of Gold and Steel aka the AGS, the remaining countries that were loyal to the UN and NATO combined NATO and the UN to make the United Defense Initiative aka the UDI.

WW3 had just been initiated and now all sides of the war were preparing their thermonuclear weapons, the war lasted for about only a month or so and was comprised of many naval skirmishes and land invasions. However the worst was yet to come.

Global Thermonuclear War
Many days passed and Russian forces had pushed deep into inner Canada essentially splitting the country into two, Chinese forces had helped the North Korean forces to reunite Korea and helped stage a communist coup in Japan which then rebirthed the country as the People's State of Japan, American forces have dwindled and it seemed that the AGS were going to win the war until, nobody knows how the apocalypse started, some speculate that the guard of a Russian Missile Silo who was secretly a radical anarchist snuck into the facility at night and initiated Thermonuclear War, some think that the then American president Joe Biden personally ordered for Thermonuclear war to be initiated, no one knows, all anyone knows is that the apocalypse began. No one knows what cities were nuked first but most people think that Moscow and the west coast of the U.S were nuked first, then London, Manchester, Paris, Montreal, New York, Washington D.C, Beijing, Shanghai, then the rest of the world. The apocalypse had come true, Joe Biden's speech had come true as well, just not in the favorable way...

The Bunker State
The Bunker State is a loose term to cover the time from 2021 - 2034 in which the surviving human population spent their life in nuclear bunkers, not much eventful happened during this time except for mass panic and hysteria due to the, y'know, apocalypse happening n' all.

The Tragedy of the Washington D.C Vault
Eventually after 13 years on May 5th, 2034 the remaining American government now led by president Jonathan Brekess who ordered in person for all American government officials and military members to travel through the underground vault railway to the vault under Washington D.C and regroup there and start society, America all over again, however once they all got to the surface a tornado swept them all up destroying the vault and killing almost all of the army and killing all of the government, however a few soldiers remained in their vault which was located in a remote location in Madison County, Montana near Madison River.

After hearing no transmissions from the D.C vault the soldiers in Montana named themselves the Black Stars and created a small village which they would conduct their operations, little did they know this village would soon become a major city, the village's name was Hellewyn.

The town was located where the black dot is



Founding of the Montana Republic
Since the founding of Hellewyn the Black Stars have grown in numbers incorporating pre-war officers and citizens trained in the art of combat. Some other people had started to come out of their vaults but mostly in North America and for some reason the other North American governments hadn't sent anyone out yet potentially fearing the worst. While the Black Stars grew they needed to organize and expand, they started to found new small towns and villages and during October 22nd, 2034 the Montana Republic was founded, the first post-war nation. It was a representative democracy and it's capital was Hellewyn, it's first leader was the leader of the Black Stars; Nicholas Blaire. It started small at first but eventually grew, incorporating more and more territory into it. However new challengers would arise.
