    Just to organise everything.

    ==*==

    2277: First Battle of Hoover Dam - NCR victory, setting stage for later stages of First Legion War. Federal US forces begin invasion/occupation of the Capital Wasteland.

    2278: American/Enclave forces take effective control of Capital Wasteland, "death" of John Henry Eden, Augustus Autumn takes power. City-state of Baltimore submits to Federal Govt. after offer of water from Project Purity. Trading cities around Hampton Roads submit after military intimidation and propaganda blitz. Beginning of conflict to eradicate hostile "super mutants" of Capital Wasteland.

    2281: Second Battle of Hoover Dam - NCR victory, Caesar killed, NCR state of Mojave created. First Legion War ends; Legion Civil War begins. Philadelphia joins Federal Government without a fight with a mixture of propaganda and offers of protection against raiders.

    2282: US/Enclave invasion of Delmarva Peninsula - civilised communities protected after accepting reintegration, severely mutated "Swampfolk" annihilated in military campaign due to unwavering hostility. Large "tribal" populations in area spark beginning of DoE Residential School system to "modernise and reassimilate" the primitives, which will in later years be copied by the UAC and private charitable bodies. On the West Coast, Moore Offensive launched at the Legion - makes large gains and almost takes Phoenix, but Legion forces unite against outside invasion and NCR loses most of its captured territory by 2284 due to logistical issues, holding a border strip on the Colorado's east bank as a buffer to prevent raids.

    2284: Super mutants largely annihilated in Capital Wasteland by this year, freeing up large numbers of US troops in the area. Aerial invasion of Pittsburgh takes the city early in the year - by September the first maglev line in the world has been constructed to link it to main US territory. Beginning of USS Richardson reconstruction out of Rivet City.

    2285: Aaron Kimball reelected in the NCR as a result of military successes against the Legion and expansion of NCR territory. Rumours of a warlord claiming to be US President who dominates the mid-Atlantic region reach NCR; however stories of power-armoured army behind him considered exaggerated tall tales.

    2287: USS Richardson launched onto maiden voyage - beginning of New England Reclamation. From late in the year onwards, US troops occupy areas of Boston, followed by Rhode Island and Cape Cod. Recon teams sent to New York City, coast of New England, Maritimes. NCR discovers survival of Enclave, sparking mass panic and beginning of war mentality. American govt. learns of fate of Navarro, treatment of survivors and relatives by NCR, creating intense anger. Official contact re-established between USA and European nations. Custer MBT sees beginning of field use.

    2288: Assassination attempt on Autumn by NCR forces sparks retaliatory bombing raid that claims the life of NCR Pres. Kimball. CIT subdued in March and super mutants defeated and largely destroyed at the same time. Richmond and Atlantic City accept US rule. Most of Florida is reintegrated. End of Brotherhood War, beginning of Second Brotherhood Alliance.

    2290: "Manhattan Republic" peacefully accepts US rule, as does most of Connecticut. Hudson River USN patrols spread US rule to most of upstate NY over the next two years. In the West, beginning of Northern War as NCR forces deploy in Oregon to protect settlers against cannibalistic tribes. Low-intensity conflict will drag on for approx. a decade and ends with tribals subdued and relegated to NCR Reservation system.

    2292: Ronto War, against aristocratic/socialist industrial slaver society based in Ontario. The largest conflict ever fought in eastern Wasteland, it ends in US victory after nine months of conflict, with assistance in final stages from democratic/anti-slavery movement in eastern Ronto. General Nathan Washington's star rises as a result of his victory, and he begins his full entrance into Autumn's inner circle and eventually American politics. During this year, Second Legion War begins with Legion attack on NCR military buffer in South Arizona, with covert support from the US. This fails resulting in deaths of the main surviving contenders for Caesarship - Legion collapses into warbands.

    2293: St. Louis antipapal regime collapses, as discovery of survival of Vatican destroys credibility and legitimacy; he flees to NCR w. loyalists, survival of the Vatican denounced as Enclave propaganda. After several months of a theocratic council, raiders take power in the city, supplied with pre-War energy weapons from a mysterious source. Knights of Columbus (military order descended from local branch of pre-War Catholic fraternal organisation) retreat to Chicago begging assistance from US forces they've heard are present. US anti-piracy campaign in Caribbean begins.

    2294: St. Louis liberated from raiders by US forces, Knights of Columbus under pressure, and feeling deeply ashamed of their allegiance to a false Pope, secularise and are designated as US Army regiment (the civilian Knights of Columbus survive to this day across North America, somewhat scattered). New Orleans Incident - NCR attempts to prevent the city from falling back under US control backfire. USN patrols of Misssissippi begin, significantly boosting the speed of reintegration efforts. US anti-piracy campaign escalates, with annexation of the Bahamas and Cuba. By 2296 almost all the Caribbean will be under US control and over the following decades Cuba, Hispaniola, Jamaica and Puerto Rico will attain statehood. NCR and Texan forces invade Arizona and New Mexico respectively, pincering the Legion between them.

    2295: NCR Alaskan Expedition results in recovery of section of US Pacific Fleet. The Carolinas and Georgia fall under complete US control. US Navy intimidates the Maritimes and Newfoundland into accepting US rule. Detroit, after years of US military operations starting in 2293, is under US control. NCR troops enter Phoenix and Flagstaff; Pres. Lee Oliver makes speech in September announcing defeat of Caesar's Legion. This is premature, as the conflict will drag on for years afterward as NCR forces fight conflict against Legion warbands, the very last of them being driven to their "reservation" in Central Arizona by 2310.

    2298: Augustus Autumn announces he will not seek re-election in 2302, leading to shock. NCR intimidates Sea-Tac Republic into joining; creating NCR state of Sea-Tac. Pirate haven of Vancouver Island invaded by NCR. By this time Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio are under full US control. US invasion of Free Quebec, city-state at mouth of St. Laurence. It rapidly falls to overwhelming US military power.

    2300: US has established full control over Lousiana, Mississippi, and Alabama.

    2302: US invasion of Arkansas, one of the last major bursts of US expansion before the Great American War and last US military conflict with "tribals" or "wastelanders". US mechanised forces rapidly take control of flat eastern area; however operations in forested hills of western Arkansas prove more difficult. Brotherhood and NCR tempted to intervene but this fails due to Lone Star Republic's hesitance to commit itself to war. US returns to moon - evacuation of ELECT base begins, Luna formally claimed by the USA. Autumn replaced by his Vice President, Fairfax; however he simply takes on role of "grey eminence", guiding US policy through his successors whom he picks through his iron grip on Federalist Party bosses and voting base, despite having formally retired from politics.

    2304: Keller Expedition in North Atlantic; US North Atlantic territories established in Iceland, Faroes, and Greenland. Arctic islands north of Russia claimed by US under argument that the US discovered the North Pole, but not garrisoned.

    2305: NCR invasion of Sonora, sparked by cartels brutally killing caravaneers travelling to trade with RRG. In time the NCR will invade neighbouring Chihuahua as well, though by then the NCR public is weary of annexations and instead a puppet state is established.

    2313: Franco-German War; France, the dominant power in Western Europe despite bloody nose inflicted in 2288 by USS Richardson, is attacked by alliance of UK, USA and revived German Empire in order to permanently cripple it as a threat and for the Germans to regain the Western Rhineland. France is dismembered after war, with US making no demands at the peace deal; however, the post-war settlement drives rising tensions between UK and Germany, kept under control by Windsor Treaty's promise of US support should any of the two powers attack the other.

    2320: Colombian War. Harassment of fishing vessels which strayed into Gran Colombian waters used as pretext by US to seize the remaining Caribbean islands.

    2326: First Liberty Party Presidential victory. Alexander M. Travis rejects Autumn as advisor; Autumn himself begins to develop cancer and his inability to campaign for the Federalist candidate due to such is perhaps a swing factor in their defeat.

    2329: Augustus Autumn dies. Severe mourning in US; jubilation in NCR. Corpus Christi Peace Conference fails to resolve differences between US and NCR-Brotherhood Alliance. Texan election that year is bitter, as east of Texas largely favours abandoning neutrality in favour of US alignment and west favours preserving neutrality. CIA and Department of Public Information invest hundreds of millions in propaganda blitz, funding pro-American political activity, and voter fraud campaign to ensure US-aligned party wins.

    2330: Civil war begins in Texas; military government, initially pro-neutrality, aligns with NCR to recieve support. US begins under-the-table support of Texan rebels, however this is deemed by the US public to be insufficient. The Federalist Party, under Nathan Washington, reclaims the Presidency with agenda of full US military intervention. NCR and Brotherhood troops enter Texas; Pres. Matthew Kimball begins to entertain idea of using Texas as a base to attack Enclave.

    2331: Pres. Washington in inaugural speech announces agenda of not only military intervention in Texas, but campaign to fully reunite the US; gives similar remarks at State of the Union addressed to Congress and midyear July 4 speech. It becomes clear to all that the troubled "peace" in North America since 2302 will soon be a thing of the past; all major powers begin to mobilise forces and ramp up war propaganda. In October, a US invasion of Texas marks the closest thing to a formal beginning of the Great American War that the world will ever recieve.
