The Rainforest Wars[1][2] were a series of bloody conflicts between United Nations, Koslovic and Frieden forces.
History[]
Armed conflict ripped through South America, as Koslovic, Frieden and United Nations forces clashed over ideological differences. Violence was spread all throughout the battlefield. In the later stages of the wars, a part of the Friedens split apart and became the Neo-Friedens and they were willing to negotiate with the United Nations. This rivalry between the Neo-Friedens and the Friedens escalated into the Battle of Delambre on Luna. This violent conflict sparked additional conflicts off-planet, such as the Argyre Planitia Campaign. This war brought a great deal of suffering to the people of Earth, and caused an enormous famine.
