The Rainforest Wars
South America was the site of the Rain Forest Wars of the Interplanetary War during 2162. The war was fought between the UN (backed by the UN Council), and the Koslovics and Frieden rebel factions. The war brought a great deal of suffering to the people of Earth, including population surges and famines.
