Behind the scenes
According to the Fallout Bible, in 2052, the Resource Wars began. Many smaller nations went bankrupt as their economies collapsed from the high prices for fossil fuels, and the nations of Europe, dependent on oil imports from the petroleum-rich states of the Middle East, responded to their decision to rapidly raise oil prices with military action. This was the beginning of the long, drawn-out conflict between the European Commonwealth and the Middle East, the Resource Wars. In December 2053, Tel Aviv was wiped out by a terrorist nuclear weapon. In January 2054, a limited nuclear exchange in the Middle East raised fears throughout the world."''
