The Separation War, also known as the Secession War, was a series of armed conflicts between the Union of Colonial Republics and the Confederacy of Sovereign Nations fought from the early 22nd century from 2120 to 2138. The war was fought over independence and secession from the Earth Nations and the unjustly distributed, dwindling, scarce resources that led to the escalation of the conflict. Later, the Civil War spread from the human colonies to Earth and ended with the victory of the CSN.
History[]
Rising Tensions & Initial Conflicts[]
In the 2110s, the golden age of colonialism and astronomy has reached a major turning point and the global economy has begun to collapse as more than 20% of the world's countries and colonies have gone bankrupt under the pressure of Interstellar Human Governments and Corporations led by corrupt, exploitative or incompetent leaders. As a result, riots began to sweep the world. Mass immigration to human colonies and the unfair distribution of resources among colonies became the norm. Armed conflicts began to increase, and soon things took a turn for the worse as Human Colonies campaigned for independence from Earth's Governments. Conflict began to escalate because interstellar human superpowers like the United Americas and the Three World Empire had built a totalitarian, oppressive capitalist regime and were working with Corporations to subject human colonies to economic exploitation, abuse and unfair distribution. As a result, in 2120 a coalition of human colonies and human nations united to form the Confederacy of Sovereign Nations. They believed that each human colony had the right to independence and to become an independent nation, as it once was before colonization in the 21st century. In response, the United Americas and the Three World Empire created the United Colonial Republics and sought to control all remaining Loyalist Colonies belonging to the UA and 3WE, and to defeat the CSN. They later declared war on the CSN when the planet Arxes Prime was invaded and annexed by CSN Forces and the human colony was occupied. Later, after 18 years of bloody conflict, the coalition of pro-Earth Colony federations fell.
