Second Great Depression(1948-1949)
In 1948 Fred Campbell would narrowly win the election due to a split in the Democratic Party.

The second Great Depression began in early 1949 when Chase National Bank failed, kickstarting a wave of bank failures, and within 6 Months, 60% of banks in the West had failed.

Due to Fred Campbell's libertarian ideology, he put his head in the sand and refused to do anything about the crisis, and vetoed any legislation to fix it. This caused his popularity to tank, especially after the infamous "No droughts last forever" speech.

Calm Before the Storm(1950-1953)
In 1950 the Korean War happened when the US and its allies failed to assist South Korean forces and withdrew after the failure of the Incheon landing. This caused Fred Campbell's popularity to tank even further.

In 1952 Eisenhower ran for president and secured the Republican Nomination, running on a campaign of saving the country. After securing the Nomination, he would form a coalition of Moderate Republicans and Moderate Democrats, creating the Republican-Democratic Party.

The economy would start to recover in 1953 before being smashed by a stock market crash.

Riots and Martial Law(1954-1955)
In 1954 Brown vs Board of Education would be sided in favor of the Board of Education in a 5-4 vote. This resulted in Widespread riots.

After many riots a radical decision is made by president Eisenhower to repeal the Posse Comitatus Act, this leads to the American military being allowed to operate on US soil. This could only make things worse.

One of the biggest riots happened in December 1954 called the battle of Harlem as New York National guard troops clashed with black liberation army members for 3 day resulting in over 1,000 causalities The BLA was ultimately forced to surrender after ruining out of Ammo however the brutality's shown further inflamed puplic opinion against the government especially there use of bombers which practically flattened some sections.

The War Begins(Late 1954)
On Christmas Eve, the war would begin as the Alaskan Independence Front seized control of the Town of Nome and began to take control of Northern Alaska. A Few days later the Texas revolt would begin with socialist rebels fighting a guerrilla war against National Guard Troops.

Continued Secession(Early 1957)
With the Federal Government becoming increasingly authoritarian and stretched out several states began to leave the Union. The first would be Arizona, led by Barry Goldwater colorado soon followed suit, and Missouri and Kansas left and merged into the MKU.

Federation Separation (Mid 1957)
In 1957 many politicians met in secret in Philadelphia to plot their own secession and create their own nation and restore the American values that had been lost. This lead to the creation of the American federation lead by John F Kennedy.

The first major battle the Federation fought was the siege of Pittsburgh when the US army attempted to take the city. Despite their best efforts, the Federation defenders held strong, and the US army had to retreat after six months of brutal house-to-house fighting.

Battles of Houston & Chicago (Late 1957)
In Late 1957 two major battles would take place, The first being the battle of Houston, where Texan Socialist Forces successfully beat back an attempted US marine landing. The second was the Battle of Chicago, a brutal three-way battle between the Federation, the USA, and local communist groups ultimately ending in a Federation victory.

Collapse of the New Mexico Pocket,Seattle Commune, Dawnland Separation, and Operation Thunderstorm(1958)
In early 1958 the New Mexico pocket, a group of USR troops trapped behind the PCC, would finally collapse after their final stronghold was overrun.

The Seattle commune was formed by communists in 1958 successfully beating back US forces after winning several battles.

With New England being cut off from the rest of the USR they would separate from them and become Dawnland with Northern Massachusetts choosing to join them.Despite some small scale battles at first Amfed and Dawnland a ceasefire was agreed too rather quickly.Dawnland was created by the the hardships of many of the locals during the second great depression.

In late 1958 the Federation launched its first major offensive: Operation Thunderstorm, in an attempt to take Ohio. while they were able to take Akron, they were defeated in the Battle of Cleveland and had to retreat.

CDR Formed(Early 1959)
After successfully beating back American forces the Seattle commune continued expanding after winning for battle again the United states and reorganized itself into the Cascadian democratic republic.

Washington Campaign(Late 1960-1961)
After the failure of the Rock Island Offensive and Operation Thunderstorm the Federation decided to switch focus eastward to a new target Washington D.C in the hopes that Capturing it would cause the USR to collapse. The result was the Washington Campaign one of the bloodiest campaigns of the war that resulted in 950K casualties. It began on Oct,20 when Federation Troops crossed the Pennsylvania border into Maryland and Delaware with the First Battle being the battle of Wilmington.Federation Hopes of a quick victory were dashed as there Forces got bogged down in the Battle of Baltimore for three months after Baltimore they spent 5 months going through line after line of US defenses to reach D.C.The Battle of Washington D.C lasted several months but eventually ended in a Federation Victory but not before the US army destroyed every bridge on the Potomac.

In November 1961, two things happened in Colorado. The first was the last stand of the 3rd Infantry Brigade, a colordan Infantry Brigade who refused to retreat orders, instead holding their position to help civilians evacuate from the oncoming desert army, which was already well known for its brutality the brigade was able to hold them off for 17 hours before being forced to surrender due to running out of ammo and, the survivors were executed despite this there actions saved tens of the thousands of lives. The second was the most infamous of desert atrocities: The Rape of Grand Junction, which saw the desert army executing thousands of civilians and kidnapping approximately two thousand women to use as concubines.

Collapse of Colorado(Early 1962)
With enemies coming at them from all sides, it was only a matter of time before the Republic Collapsed, and in March 1962, it happened. On February 3rd, Warlords would sack Denver destroying the Government in the process, and the republic disintegrated. Three days later, the last reaming military unit, the 9th Mechanized Brigade, would be destroyed by the Desert Army.

Operation Hurricane(Late 1962)
With the Virginia front having turned into a stalemate, the Federation began looking for new ways to win the war. In October 1962, Operation Hurricane was launched, with Federation Marines launching an invasion of South Florida. The USR was caught off guard, and they were able to take several areas before being forced into a stalemate.

Western Armistice(1963)
In 1963 with the CDR and Amfed needing to put troops elsewhere, they decided to sign a ceasefire along with Desert. However, Desert refused and only agreed after JFK threatened to Nuke Salt Lake City. Despite this, it was a sign that the end of the war was near.

Virginia Campaign(Early 1964)
The Virginia Campaign was the last major offensive it was launched by the Federation in early 1964 with the Goal of Capturing the State of Virgina and Northern North Carolina. Fighting was brutal ulitamely culminating in the battle of Richmond was one of the last and most deadliest battles of the 2ACW resulting in the death of 150,000 civilians and 25,000 soldiers. This sheer death toll of this battle only proved the point that peace had to be made. This Battle along with almost equally brutal battle of Norfolk despite both ending in a Federation Victory had decimated the The Federation 1st and 14th Armies. However Despite this the Federation Made one Final push to take Raleigh despiste being able to Take Elizabeth City they were defeated in the Battle of Rocky Mount the final battle of the war.

Treaty of Louisville(Mid 1964)
With everyone being tired and worn down by the conflict it was obvious peace had to be made and in June,1964 Delegates from Amfed,USR,Dawnland,Desert,Arizona,MKU,and Cascadia Met in Louisville to create a peace agreement after 3 weeks of Discussion the Treaty of Louisville was Signed bring the 2ACW to a close after 9 years of fighting.

Continued fighting in New Afrika(1965)
Due to New Afrika not Sighing the Treaty of Louisville fighting between them and the USR would continue for about a year or so before a ceasefire was sighed. Despite this fighting continues to be on and off to this very day.

Aftermath(1965-Present)
After the War ended conflicts continued here is a brief overview of them.

Great Plains Warlord Conflict(To Early 80s)
Fighting Between the Warlords would Continue for 18 more years as various cliques and warlords fought with each other and raided towns across the borders.However with the support of the American Federation the three largest warlords the Dakota Clique,Lincoln Clique, and Wyoming-Denver Clique would sign the Denver Accords agreeing to end the fighting and consolidate all three into single nation and most warlords seeing the writing joined the new nation.Despite this some most notably the Northwestern Clique(based out of Missoula) resisted most were moped up rather quickly expect the Northwestern Clique which due to difficult terrain continued to resist for another 11 months before surrendering.

Continued New Afrika Conflict(To Present Day)
Fighting between the USR and New Afrika has continued to be on and off.Of particular note is the town of Mobile which has switched between the two quite frequently as of the 2011 ceasefire it is currently in USR hands,As a result the town has been decimated. Here is the list of ceasefires and Conflicts: With Pete Buttigieg winning the 2020 USR elections and him showing to willing to enter official relations with New Afrika there is renewed hope for a official peace accord.
 * 1965 Ceasefire
 * 1971-1973 Conflict
 * 1973 Cease fire
 * 1983-1995 Conflict
 * 1995 Ceasefire
 * 1996-2002 Conflict

 * 2008-2013 Conflict
 * 2013 Ceasefire

Border Conflicts(To Early 80s)
Numerous border conflicts would be fought in the aftermath of the war. Most of these were out west with numerous border clashes along the desert border due to its expansionist ways, most notably the Cascadian-Desert Border war, which ended in a Cascadian victory, and the Rocky war in the late 60s with the MKU. Another war was the Virginia war between Amfed and the USR between 1977-1979.

Desert Civil War(1979-1981)
After the Second American Civil War, Desert due to its and expansionism would become internationally isolated It would have a tough time recovering from the war and in addition to this would have to deal with constant raids from the warlords. By the Mid 70s it was obvious something had to be done done as a result the government began to moderate its social policy’s and began to open up to the rest of the world.This Horrified the Fundamentalists who one Oct,1,1979 would attempt to overthrow the government while the coup in the capital was successfully thwarted the Fundamentalist were still able to take over most of the Country, with the government only holding on to the Captial,Northwest,Colorado ,and a small pocket along the Federation Border and it look liked it was going to be a easy Fundamentalist Victory. However the Moderate Government fought a tenacious defense and due to the Fundamentalist antics it brought most of the world on there side. In early 1981 a Federation led coalition comprising the CDR,Arizona,MKU,Mexico,and the USR invaded Fundamentalist Controlled areas. The Fundamentalists were overwhelmed despite this pocket would continue to hold out to Mid 1982 before being destroyed.

Alaskan War(1968-2003)
The Alaskan Independence Front, would counties to wage a guerrilla war in Alaska for several decades against the USR, however, the war would end in 2003 with the Fairbanks accords, which saw Alaska become an autonomous territory.

Cultural/Economic Changes
The Decline of the Rust Belt in this timeline is not as bad due to the lack of countries to export jobs to though some outsourcing still occurs mostly to Mexico,Thailand, and Brazil.

Due to the 2ACW suburbanization doesn’t happen on the large scale it did and cities remain intact

How each term went
JFK

JFK was elected head of the American Alliance for Democracy the predecessor to Amfed in 1958 and officially declared the American Federation in 1960. His term was mostly spent dealing with the war and afterwards the reconstruction with his National Prosperity Program which help rebuild Infrastructure Destroyed during the War.

The Beginning
Formed in Mid 1957 by a coalition of New Deal Liberals, Rockefeller Republicans, Moderate Leftists, and Libertarians, who were increasingly upset with the federal government increasing authoritarianism and control by right wing radicals in the midst of the 2ACW.Led by JFK they were able to win several battles with there most successful campaign being the naval invasion of south Florida. however at last after in 1964 with south Florida campaign losing steam and losing the battle of Raleigh combined with a population tired of war they signed the Treaty of Louisville with the US bring the 2ACW to a close after 9 years.

The Turbulent 60s
The early years after the war for the federation were tough as it was plagued by social and political instability ,a shaky economy and a lack of identity. Abroad new elected President JFK put economic embargo’s on communist countries but did not interve like the US did.

the first major test for the Federation came in late 1965 as Warlords from Great Plains attempted to sack Minneapolis and St.Paul however the army was able to push them back only sustaining 198 Casualties.

Another major test for the Federation government came in 1968 in what was know as the California succession crisis. It began when the National Communist California front(NCCF) took over several major local governments in the 68 midterms. The NCCF than used these in an attempt to succeed from the federation, However despite backing the CDR,CPR, and PCC the rebellion was crushed in 10 days with minimal civilian casualties.

With the Outbreak of the Japanese Civil war Amfed sent 4 Divisions to help the Japanese Provisional Government these were the: 43rd Infantry Division,25 Infantry Division,3rd Marine Division, and 7th Armor Division along with several ships and 5 Squadrons all these are still there. It also sent the 48th Infantry Division to Vietnam from 1967-1974

Early 70s:First Great Recession and near collapse
In 1973 as punishment for supporting Isreal in the six day war the Arab countries but an oil embargo on the Federation.without any home source of oil prices skyrocketed to 30$ a gallon and the economy already weak completely imploded, with this mass riots ensued. The government in a desperate measure lifted all embargo’s and began trading with the PCC for oil as well as forging strong relations with Norway through trade deals despite this the damage was done and an uprising seemed inevitable in a last ditch effort the government put in place martial law. Things reached a breaking point with the Detroit uprising as a mass uprising happened with CPR troops moving to assist a battle happened however despite about 950 Federation casualties they won the battle and things began to calm down and martial law was ended in time for the 74 elections. In addition to this the Maoist Communist Party would begin its terrorism campaign with the help of the PCC, which would only die down in the mid 2000s after the PCC withdrew aid.

Late 70s: North American Non Aggression Pact,Border War and foundation of the Democratic Alliance
After the turmoil of 73 the Federation began its slow recovery process. In 1975 the Federation,Canada,PCC, and Cuba signed the North American Non Aggression Pact where they agreed to not attack each other. Despite this in 1976 a border war broke out with US that lasted for 2 years and resulted 2,000 Federation soldiers dead. In 1979 the Federation along with France,Norway,Netherlands, and South Japan formed the democratic alliance the successor to NATO

In addition to this President Rockefeller died in 1979 being the only Federation President to die in office.

Early 80s: economic recovery and rise of FLP
Despite an a small recession in 1980 by 1981 the economy had recovered to pre-1973 levels. In the 1982 elections the Farmer Labor Progressive Party won the elections for the first time and began several reforms. Amfed also backed the creation of the Great Plains Republic largely as way stop warlords from raiding there territory.

In Late 1981, Amfed would Lead a Coalition Composing the USR, Arizona,MKU, and Cascadia intervening in the Desert Civil War against the Fundamentalist forces. The Fundamentalists would be crushed and the War would end by Mid-1982.

Late 80s: Reform Era
The Late 80s were marked with lots of reform from the FLP government these reforms include:


 * Creation of a Universal Healthcare system


 * Creation of the Science & Technology Department along with the Federation Space Program and Health Research Agency


 * Creation of the Committee on Economic Policy


 * Creation of the Committee on Media Regulations


 * Creation of AFair

In addition to this they continued the detente with the communist bloc

The Economy continued to improve this decade as well and the FLP won the 1986 and 1990 elections by a considerable margin

In 1989 the Satellite “Unity 1” was launched and made into orbit making it the object sent by the federation into space

There was brief increase in tensions with communist bloc do the first Blue Eagle Military exercise happening. Blue Eagle is a week long Democratic Alliance military exercise supposed to simulate what would happen in war erupted between the Democratic Alliance and the communist bloc, it happens every 10 years.

In addition to this Relations Between Amfed and the CPR also took a hit in 1986 do to the Great Plains War.

Early 90s: Terrorism and fall of FLP and ANP
The 1990s began with the FLP winning the second straight landslide election in a row.however peace would not last at the True Nationalist Party a white nationalist group began there terror campaign in 1991 this resulted in what was know as as 6/12 in 1993 where the TNP blew up AFair flight 19 over Manhattan causing the plane to crash into the north tower of the World Trade Center despite the best efforts of the firefighters the building collapsed and 2,553 people died this comped with President McCarthys seemingly weak response to the TNP caused it fail badly in the 94 elections in addition to this do to the fact the many members of the TNP were former ANP members caused then ANP to fair badly as well. In 1990 Amfed, along with France, would intervene in the Second Greek Civil War on behalf of the Greek Government against the Communist Rebels. The Joint Intervention would end the war by May 1991.

Late 90s: Upper Michigan Uprising
By 1995 the terrorism had spread into Canada also in this year the Anti-Terrorism Task Force was founded.However despite this in 1996 the Upper Michigan Uprising began as the TNP seized Traverse City and Graylord. They spread rapidly taking everything north of the Muskegon river within a week with them seizing Grand Rapids two days later and Lansing the capital of Michigan on the verge of falling, Amfed requested CPR assistance against the TNP. The result was Operation Thunderstorm a two week joint aerial bombardment campaign after this the TNP was quickly overrun with their final stronghold Roger City falling a week and a half later. In 1997 the Phoenix Lights incident happened as a result the Federation UFO agency was founded

Early 2000s: First American in space and Economic Prosperity
The 2000s began with the Federation taking home 15 gold medals in the Sydney Olympics. On March 15th, 2001 James M. Kelly became the first Federation astronaut in space completing 3 orbits before coming down. The early 2000s were marked by Massive economic growth with GDP of Amfed tripling from 1.1 trillion in 2000 to 3.2 trillion by 2004. President Lieberman privatized the railways and AF Air.

Late 2000s: Second Great Recession and rise of the FLP 2
In 2005 the second great recession hit causing the economy to plummet in this Bernie Sanders wins the 2006 election as a member of the FLP. His biggest achievement was the Renationalization of AFair despite this economy continued to remain in the ditch.

in 2008 a massive electoral reform bill was passed which got rid of Electoral Collage,Filbuster, and allowed foreigners who had been citizens for 5 years to run for president.

Early 2010s: Economic Recovery and Libya
in the 2010 elections, Obama was elected under him the economy finally began to recover. Amfed along with other democratic alliance members also backed the moderate rebels against Gaddafi in Libya with Amfed sending their black ops “Blake snake” squadron to help them.

Late 2010s: Space Station Democracy and Navy fleet modernization
in 2015 the Joint Amfed-French-Australian-South Japanese Space Station Democracy began operation and has been slowly expanded with a completion date of Early 2023. Around this time Amfed also embarked on a Navy fleet modernization campaign with the Pride of this Campaign the AFS Destiny(a aircraft carrier) being completed in 2019.

Early 2020s : Covid and democratic alliance expansion.
Covid arrived to Amfed in California in march 2020 it spread rapidly and only 2 months later California was quaternteid but that point it was too late. it had already spread to the other states on June 2,2020 all non essential travel was banned and development for a vaccine began at HRA the vaccine came out in late December and quickly most people got it by May of 2021 covid had mostly subsided and most travel restrictions were lifted in time for summer.

In Mid 2022 a treaty was sighed with the USR were it was announced that the USR would be joining the Democratic alliance in early 2023.

Foreign Relations

 * [[File:PCC.png]] People's Commonwealth of Columbia- Despite a rocky start since the detant in the mid 70s, relations between both of their governments have been calm even if very frosty at times, however the PCC is still widely despised by the population and praising any of its leaders could get you on a watchlist or possibly labeled a domestic terrorist due to the legacy of the Columbine Revolution and the cultural revolution in the PCC. The same occuring with the PCC, where the American Federation is seen as the roadblock to the revolution throughout the Americas.
 * [[File:LeninisBasedsmall.png]] Canada- despite being enemies in the 60s and early 70s(including the battle of Detroit in 73) since the creation of the North American non aggression pact there relation has been okay despite being somewhat frosty. AmFed is also forever grateful for there support during the uprising of 96.
 * [[File:Gaullismicon2.png]] France- Amfed has maintained good relations with theme were both founding members of the Democratic Alliance.
 * [[File:Cball-Japan.png]] South Japan- Amfed has been good friends with them since the 60s and our close allies and members of the Democratic Alliance though despite this Amfed does recognize north japan as a independent country
 * [[File:Cball-Brazil.png]] Brazil- Amfed since 1981 has been strong allies with brazil though since Lula was elected relations have become a bit strained but they are still strong.

USR
 United States Remnants(Officially the United States of America) 

Lore
It is hard to define where the USA died and the USR began, However the most common answer is the Fall of Washington and relocation of the Government to Charlotte. So this is where we will start.

Mid 60s: War
After the relocation of the government to Charlotte fighting between the USR and Amfed would continue for 3 more years with Operation Hurricane seizing South Florida as well as taking North and East Virginia. Else where the Atlanta Offensive was Defeated and the USR won the Battle of Memphis a ceasefire was signed with New Afrika in 1965.

Late 60s: Initial After War Years
While most Post-USA nations where in poverty the USR was rather prosperous post-war largely due to the fact that its area had been spared from Fighting combined with its large Armaments Industry. The USR was the leading economy in the Post-USA till the Early 70s. Though this Prosperity was not shared with the Black Population who suffered from discrimination and Poverty.

Despite the 2ACW ending martial law was not lifted and the USR was a one party dictatorship led by the Democratic-Republican Party.

Eisenhower died in 1969 with his last discion he gave black equal rights. His VP Nixon took office afterwards

NATO
NATO was a attempt at a anti-communist alliance in Europe, however even by 1954 it was beginning to show signs of weakness with German reunification. The biggest blow came however in 1955 with the beginning of the 2ACW De-facto ending USA involvement in the alliance to deal with the collapse at home. The Alliance would hobble on for 3 more years until the UK becoming increasingly isolationist withdrew and NATO was officially disbanded a year later.

In between Period
In the Aftermath of NATOs collapse the Nordic Defense Alliance was formed while the USR,UK,France, and even the American Federation to a Degree intervened abroad none of these were unified and often clashed with one another.

London Convention
In 1971 the USR attempted to reform the alliance with the UK,France,American Federation,and a few other European nations. This resulted in the London Convention where numerous nations came together to discuss creating a new alliance however do to various reasons they were unable to come to a agreement. Despite this it was still important as it laided the groundwork for the Democratic Alliance.

Amsterdam Conference
In 1978 President Rockefeller proposed creating a global version of NATO this attracted some interest from other states most notably France, and South Japan who was still concerned about a communist attack. As a result in 1979 5 nations the American Federation,France,South Japan,Norway, and the Netherlands met in Amsterdam and after 1 and a half weeks of negotiations the Amsterdam Treaty was sighed and the Democratic Alliance was born.
