Pre War Political Tensions:

After the Second Russian Revolution following the death of President Vladimir Putin the country erupted into a civil war with Chinese backed Communists emerging victorious. This enabled China to project power into Europe and the Middle East, threatening American interests. This period was known as the Second Cold War where both superpowers began to form networks of exclusive trading relationships and segregated economies until nether faction was dependent on the other. The only thing stopping war between NATO and the Comintern was the threat of nuclear destruction. The new technology of Nuclear Halos in the 2060s removed that threat.

2066: November 6 the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela enters the war, however due to lack of military assets, coordination, and famine among the infantry regiments.

Post War Repercussions:

With a costly NATO victory most prewar boarders were restored and puppet republics were installed in the areas of remaining Comintern nations that were not partitioned. Anti-UN rose as it had failed to prevent the war in the first place. Anger toward many countries who stayed neutral during the war also rose. Many historians believe the Second Mexican American war was a direct result of this. Rebellious sentiment built in Russia as it remained repetitively unoccupied thanks to the German Kaiser leading to the Third Russian Revolution.
