Sino-American War

The Sino-American War was a conflict between the United States and China beginning in 2066 as part of the Resource Wars and culminated with the Great War in 2077.

Major engagements

 * Battle of Anchorage, part of the Chinese invasion of Alaska
 * Yangtze Campaign, part of the American invasion of mainland China
 * Gobi Campaign, part of the American invasion of mainland China

Prelude
In the Spring of 2066, with global oil resources diminishing and China's fossil fuel dependency causing an energy crisis in the nation, China became more aggressive in its trade talks with the United States. With the United States unwilling to export oil to China, Chinese-American relations turned for the worse.

Timeline

 * Winter 2066 - China invaded Alaska, marking the beginning of the Sino-American War. The Anchorage Front Line had become the main battle front during the Anchorage Campaign.
 * 2066 - American missile cruiser USS Ebon Atoll was sunk near the Alaskan coast by the American submarine USS Interference, which mistook it for a Chinese warship.
 * 2067 - The first suits of T-45d power armor were deployed in Alaska.
 * 2073 - China aggressively increased their use of biological weapons, causing the United States to form the Pan-Immunity Virion Project.
 * 2074 - America deployed power armor units, infantry, and mechanized divisions to the Chinese mainland and annexed countries, but became bogged down on the mainland, causing further strain on American resources.
 * June 2076 - The new and improved T-51b power armor was deployed to the Chinese mainland where it began to cut a path of destruction through the Chinese forces. Chinese resources were strained to the breaking point and Chinese-annexed countries began to break down.
 * 2077 - A Chinese sabotage attempt took place at Hoover Dam.
 * January 10, 2077- Alaska was liberated, and reclaimed by the United States.
 * October 23, 2077- The Great War began, a massive nuclear exchange between the nuclear powerhouses of the world. It lasted only two hours, but released more energy than all the wars in world history. Both China and the United States were left severely destroyed and inoperable beyond Old World standards.

Aftermath
During and after the war the North American and East Asia continents suffered greatly due to the war. The biggest consequences of the war were the Canadian annexation, the Canadian resistance and protests, the food riots of America which resulted in the power armored military police, and the biggest one of them all is the inevitable nuclear war that would become known as the Great War. In a sense, both sides ended in a stalemate as both were severely deprived of their resources and their civilian populations suffering the worst due to the choices made by their governments.
