== | ==Background== | ||
In 2162, following the [[Jovian Moons Campaign]], armed conflict ripped through [[South America]] as [[Koslovic]], [[Frieden]] and UN forces clashed over ideological differences. Additional guerrilla attacks took place across Earth on military and nonmilitary targets, along with several concurrent off-planet skirmishes. In the later stages of the wars, [[Neo-Friedenism|Neo-Friedenists]] emerged as an offshoot of the Frieden movement willing to negotiate with the United Nations. Their disagreements with the mainline Frieden led to the [[Battle of Delambre]] on [[Luna]], in which the two factions engaged one another.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 113''</ref> The Rainforest Wars also sparked additional conflicts off-planet, such as the [[Mars Campaign]] three months later. The conflict brought a great deal of suffering to the people of Earth, and caused an enormous famine.{{Ref/Reuse|halostory}} | |||
The wars inspired some of the 22nd century's most famous literature. ''[[A Soldier's Tale: Rainforest Wars]]'' was written about this event by [[Jeremiah Mendez]], and was considered a military classic in the 26th century.{{Ref/Reuse|HE33}} This book is a favorite of [[Franklin Mendez|CPO Franklin Mendez]].{{Ref/Reuse|goo}} | |||
