“In the 21st century, war was still waged over the resources that could be acquired. Only this time, the spoils of war were also its weapons: Petroleum and Uranium.”— Fallout intro
The Resource Wars refer to a series of conflicts brought on by an unsustainable global economy that heavily relied on finite resources such as petroleum and uranium.[1]
Background
Several violent engagements took place, including the annexation of Canada by the United States and the Chinese invasion of Anchorage, Alaska. European powers fought in the Middle East. The Resource Wars ended by way of nuclear war, known as the Great War on October 23, 2077.[2][3]
Notes
The Museum of History featured an exhibit titled, "2052 to Present The Resource Wars."
