Second Borean Invasion

The Second Borean Invasion, sometimes called the Second Borean Conquest, was a war that lasted from 2021 to 2024. Often cited as the deadliest war in Earth's history, it killed approximately 100 million people (estimated 78 million civilians, 22 million military personnel). It included the second use of nuclear weapons in war, massacres, ethnic cleansing and human cannibalism.

The Borean Empire had previously threatened the United State of America with war after consistent bombing raids over Borean landing points in the Pacific Ocean. However, the USA paid no heed, instead opting to increase their attacks. Emperor Khula II of the Borean Empire never directly declared war, but on the 7th June 2021, he ordered three Borean saucers land at the tip of the Olympic Peninsula. The USA saw this as a sign of imminent attack, and so went about preparing for the confrontation. Whilst the saucers were stationed in Washington, the Boreans captured the Makah Reservation and, on the 8th June, annexed it to the Imperium. From here, 10,000 troops marched down the peninsula, reaching Quillayute on the 9th June. The Boreans annexed all captured territories down to Quillayute airport on the 10th June. Any resistance fighters were executed or, in certain circumstances, used as slave labor.

The United States was quick to respond. On the 11th June, bombing raids began over captured Borean territory, targeted specifically at makeshift military bases.
