Modern World in 2037
Welcome to an era of global upheaval, where nations are redrawing borders and alliances. The balance of power is shifting, with empires rising anew, regions gaining independence, and age-old alliances dissolving. Here is the timeline of the pivotal events reshaping the world map:
– 2026: Morocco undertakes major expansion by annexing Mauritania, signaling a return to colonial ambitions in northwest Africa.
– 2027: In Europe, Portugal challenges its neighbor by declaring war on Spain. This sudden conflict results in a decisive Spanish victory, and the Iberian Peninsula is unified under Spanish control as it absorbs Portugal.
– 2030: Driven by a powerful desire for self-determination, Texas declares its independence from the United States, emerging as an unexpected new player on the international stage.
– 2032 – 2033: The “Three Small States War” erupts as the Netherlands attempts to annex Belgium and Luxembourg. France and Germany, refusing to allow this power grab, intervene. After fierce clashes, France prevails, taking control of Belgium and the Netherlands, while Germany seizes Luxembourg. This conflict sows discord within the European Union, leaving it weakened and divided.
– 2034: In a historic move, France actively supports Quebec’s independence and seizes control despite Canadian resistance. This power shift causes NATO to collapse as old alliances give way to mistrust.
– 2036: The United States, launching its own expansionist strategy, establishes a colony in Israel and Palestine, defying strong opposition from the European Union.
– 2037: American expansion continues in West Africa, where they annex Liberia, once again defying European opposition.
These events signal the beginning of a new era of tension and transformation, heralding an uncertain future for the global order.
