Africa was in chaos.
Conflicts intensified as contradictions between the various small nations and tribes deepened.
As several tribal armed forces were wiped out or conquered, some tribes began to grow stronger. Other tribal forces, unwilling to sit and wait for death, began annexing others to expand, opening the way for struggles between them.
Between the tribes, one was either annexed or destroyed, like poisonous insects fighting in a jar.
The struggle among tribal armed forces began in several countries and spread to the surrounding regions.
An unprecedented reshuffling of powers officially began across the African Continent. It started with conflicts between tribes, then escalated into conflicts between nations. What had begun as struggles in several countries started spreading into several major African states.
The sparks of war began spreading across the entire African Continent, spiraling out of control.
There was no right or wrong. Ambition emerged and swelled, chaos erupted in full, and the first domino had already fallen. Even intervention by the United Nations would be futile.
Africa entered an era of warlord conflict and annexation.
The chaos did not stop on African soil. South America shared the same fate.
As the global order changed, South America's situation resembled Africa's. No sufficiently powerful group had entered the ranks of the world's top powers. The South American Group, led by Brazil, was weak, and this region became the North American Group's designated backyard.
Chaos began in several South American countries whose economies relied mainly on coal and oil. Their economies collapsed, inflation reached terrifying heights, and people were so poor that all they had left was money. Paper currency became the most useless thing of all.
Inflation and economic collapse left people unable to feed themselves, sparking unrest in several countries. Anti-government demonstrations appeared and gradually turned into clashes.
