2020 Timeline

June

Revolution?

June is a month full of potential revolutionary events. The people take to the streets across the globe. Meanwhile terrorist groups, domestic and international, are preparing for all out attacks. Unannounced by North Korea, Kim Jong Un has fallen into a coma. Though not dead, it raises the question of who shall lead their country?

July

Evolution

As protest grow and grow, the coronavirus that began in 2019 is spreading at an even faster rate. A yet unidentified mutated strand has emerged in the Americas, spreading even faster than before. Despite being more deadly than previously, the people continue to protest.

Meanwhile South Korean intelligence has made note of a startling amount of military movement to the North. Though it remains quiet and unheard of.

Europe is facing another dilemma and this time they're more prepared. All of Europe shuts down it's borders to protect from the new strand of COVID-19.

Africa is still devasted from the locust, and hunger becomes more and more common.

August

Power

As protest grow in America, alongside COVID-19, government officials begin to pose the great question. "Do we, or should we, postpone elections due to recent events?" A leaked memo spreads like wildfire, amounting to more protesters and more COVID-19 patients.

North Korean troops are seen training, despite the recent spread of the new strand that has closed the borders of Europe and most Asian countries. Intelligence officials have noted that many North Korean Troops are dropping dead at an alarming rate.

Europe remains closed off, leading to a decrease in information spread. This greatly benefits Russia as new protest arrive in Ukraine, much like the start of Crimea years ago.

China has remained silent on the world stage, though internally troops and forces patrol the streets. Ensuring no one leaves their homes.

September

Escalation

Late August/ Early September sees exactly what many have feared for years. A massive earthquake in California has happened, with multiple aftershocks shortly after. State officials can only guess the amount of dead, as the Federal government has vowed to not help California. As some cold harder officials believe, "they will hurt us in the election."

Tensions rise, more and more protesters in America, and COVID-19 cases are starting to finally stagnate. Though total cases have risen above 10,000,000, the death toll is only 800,000. Still very scary.

Europe questions what can they do for Ukraine, as many people(even troops) want to stay home. Though due to the lengthy bureaucracy and COVID-19, it calls for the first ever online Zoom meeting of European officials to discuss possible war(this is not usual, at least the war part, just significant still.)

"Ukraine protestors" suddenly appear with more guns, causing widespread violence across the nation.

North Korea is fully silent. No communications, no movement.

Africa is fully devastated by the locust. Due to this, more and more terrorist groups form. The fight is on for food on the continent.

October

The Third War?

To not many surprises, government officials in America call for the elections to be postponed. The executive branch, alongside it's allies, use this opportunity to attempt to send troops onto the streets to deal with protestors. Disagreement among generals lead to them picking sides, and leads to an event in DC where "black shirts" alongside troops have a brief shootout with troops and protestors. Across America rural populations of extremist mount terrorist attacks onto cities and other "terrorist".

Meanwhile tanks have appeared in various spots across Ukraine, prompting EU officials to come together in person to discuss their next steps.

An EMP of unknown origins knocks out most communication in Europe, allowing "unidentified soldiers" to arrive in Ukraine.

Meanwhile in South Korea, multiple artillery shells are fired onto Seoul. This prompts South Korea to invade the North, who are in turned backed by Chinese Troops further North (though the main reason is to ensure North Koreans do not flee into China).

Meanwhile violence spreads across Africa, causing more than half of the entire continent to descend into chaos.

November

Boom

In America while protestors and "potential terrorists" are being killed left and right, suddenly Yellowstone has finally went off. No more contact is heard in most of America for some time. Whatever emerges is no longer what it once was.

Russian troops are now in Ukraine to, "help bring peace". Has the world forgotten Crimea? Meanwhile Europe is back online in some parts. They are in disagreement on how to respond. Though the agreement is "now, not later." They agree to send NATO, and what happens is a brief and intense battle followed by a thermonuclear device being detonated in Europe.

Africa is becoming more and more deadly, though that's the assumption since most communications has been lost.

China has advanced forward behind North Korea, anything to ensure South Korea does not take the North.

December

Cold Era begins

Videos begin to surface from America of the violence and hardships they now face. Not much of a government exist, so many claim to be in charge now.

Russia, fearing defeat is at hand as NATO enters Moscow. Begins to launch nukes across the Earth. Every continent is hit in some way, and humans lose contact with one another.
