| - The African Unification War, also known as The African Civil War was a major conflict that began on the 2 April 2031. The war saw Africa roughly split in half, with the Southern half of the continent joining the African Confederation, and the Northern half forming the African Union. The war saw the African landscape terribly and irrevocably changed, millions upon millions died in the war, which remains the deadliest conflict in human history, both sides commited numerous atrocities against the other, with events such as the Rape of Mobasa and the Massacre at Kinshasa becoming infamous around the world. The war also saw the widespread use of chemical and bilogical weapons by both sides, with the horrors of such warfare catalysing a total global disarmament of all chemical and biological weapon stockpiles. After the war, the African Confederation united all of Africa and set about rebuilding the shattered continent, after two decades of hard work, the CSA (Confederated States of Africa) became a major global superpower. Today, though few will say this outright, the war is seen as a baptism of fire, Africa may have been torn and scarred during the war, but the state of the nation now, compared to how it was before, is considered a worthy sacrifice, in the words of the African Confederation's military leader and the first President of the CSA, Siphiwe Ngeyo, "to cross the river, one must first get wet".
