Join the new world

I did not write the following article and took it directly from the USA history pg on the ewiki. The last part about California is what I did add.

The USA has been a primary participant in World War V, having been fully engaged in the USA-Poland War, USA-Spain War, Mexico-USA War, and serving as an ally in almost every conflict of the global war.

The first direct engagement by US forces was during the USA-Poland War, a conflict between the USA and Poland that began on March 25th, 2011. USA allies, France and Germany had been fighting with Poland for a few days prior to when the USA launched its attack. This conflict would become part of the much larger World War V.

Before the outbreak of hostilities, the USA and Poland had maintained a long-lasting peace, stemming from previous wars in which each country had provided assistance to the other on a regular basis. In fact, just a few weeks earlier, Poland had been peacefully renting USA territories found well within the USA homeland; including Arizona, Illinois, Tennessee, and others. Poland would no longer possess these territories at the beginning of the war, instead having allowed the rental agreements to expire peacefully, and opting to secure almost complete possession of the country of Mexico. This had been made possible after the Second USA-Mexico War, when the USA had first conquered and then released Mexico in its entirety.

Despite the friendship that the two countries had enjoyed in the past, a conflict between the nations developed shortly after Poland launched aggressive attacks against Terra member-states, France and Germany. As a result, the USA (a Terra member) was compelled to defend its allies, and on March 24, 2011 declared Poland as it's natural enemy. This was followed by a full assault against the Poland held territory of Southeast of Mexico on March 25, 2011.[1]

The conflict represented the first time that a war between multiple ONE and Terra countries entered into full engagements across global regions, making it in essence, the beginning of another World War.

Meanwhile, Spain (also a ONE member) had prepared operations to assist its alliance by declaring France as it's natural enemy a few days earlier. This was an attempt to squeeze France as Poland attempted to push into French and German lands, once again signalling an escalation of hostilities.

As a result of these developments, remaining countries of both the Terra and ONE alliances began to prepare as it seemed apparent that the inter-regional conflict was likely to spread to a global conflict.

Eventually the US was unable to secure the Polish held territories and a revived Mexico would re-emerge. On April 1, 2011 Mexico signed a MPP with Poland, successfully regained Baja, and forced the United States to refocus its efforts against ONE-allied Spain in the Western European theater. This would draw the US deeper into World War V.

As time passed, Poland was eventually ejected from the Americas as a result of sporadic fighting in North America, coordinated resistance wars within Mexico, and a failed Polish invasion during the the Poland-Brazil War.

Ultimately this would leave only Spain and Mexico as direct threats to the USA. Though the two invaders would briefly secure territory all the way to the Mississippi River, eventually the USA was able to turn back the attack. Mexico would be conquered as a result of the Mexico-USA War and the regions of Baja and Southeast of Mexico would be annexed by agreement to the US. The USA-Spain War continued to rage for weeks after the Mexican defeat, as the USA once again invaded the Spanish mainland.

After stalling once more in Europe, the war shifted yet again as Spain launched another invasion of the USA on May 31, 2011. This time Spain faced little resistance, pushing into the Mid-West and eventually reaching the Mississippi River on June 7th. With little defense being offered by American forces, Spain then continued unhindered to the Continental Divide on June 11th. At this point Spanish forces returned to the eastern and southern states.

Meanwhile, ONE forces in Europe began the Second ONE invasion of France as Poland began its march toward Brittany and possible second invasion of the USA. This action coincided with Swedish attacks on neighboring Canada during the Sweden-Canada War. These actions were part of a much larger combined offensive known as the ONE World Tour, who's ultimate goal was the conquering of all western Terra powers.

On July 10 California was retaken marking the come back of the United States in World War 5. At this point the USA consists of 8 provinces in the midwest as well as the west coast. Figthing is fierce and tensions run high in the US but under the leadership of our new president we will prevail.
