Cold War (Earth World)

The EW7 Cold War was a period of intense relations between the two remaining superstates of Earth World, the Aragan Empire and the Pan American Union, that existed throughout the better part of Earth World Mark VII.

After the annexation of Starym into the Aragan Empire, leaders in the Reichstag discussed incorporating France into the Empire. This discussion was widely unpopular in the Pan American Union as they feared Araga would come after them next. The Pan American Union stated that they would guarantee French independence which worsen Aragan-Pan American relations. Araga considered taking more peaceful route by sending diplomats, however this only worried France as they thought an invasion was about to commence. The PAU later claimed Iroth and La Plata as their own to secure their hegemony over the Americas although these lands were allegedly owned by Araga after the annexation of Starym. Pan-American flags were set up in La Plata, removing the old Aragan and Starymglian flags. The disputes angered the Aragans which provoked a massive raid on Portola, the capital of the PAU. In retaliation of the looting, the PAU killed all of the sheep in the Minsk which was a newly built industrial city in the Empire.

A Reichstag meeting was announced to discuss future plans of incorporating France, people discussed declaring war while others discussed peace in the region. Players in Araga which supported war are Cambrian_, FedexMC, and Pibb. Pro-war side stated an invasion of France and the PAU would be swift as both nations were still recovering after previous conflicts in EW6 and were still working on reconstruction. Players in Araga which were against war are Tomad, The_Ohioan, and GreenThePear. The anti-war side stated that if Araga invaded the PAU, it would eventually develop into a guerilla war, as war rules at the time were almost non-existent, and every city in the world would be demolished.

The Cold War eventually killed off activity on the server, as members from the Pan American side did not log on in fear of Araga declaring war, and less Aragans were playing on the server as time passed. EW7 would later end without any war between the two superstates, which marked the unclimactic end of the Earth World series.
