Year 2000 War / Y2K War

The German Civil War is a conflict between the German Democratic Republic and German Federal Republic. The war would become the direct cause of the Y2K War after the Soviet Union demanded all NATO led forces left Saxony (the demand being refused.) The war up to the point global intervention and eventual global war broke out is summarised here.

The German Civil War began in 1989 due to a few events that had taken place previously. This includes: In 1988, as a group of West German protesters attacked the Berlin Wall. East German forces responded by open firing on the protesters as well as the crowd behind them. Across January 1989, West German forces claimed since the fall of the Berlin Wall that East German forces had changed the border to take parts of Berlin that were previously part of the West. In May 1989, West German planes were tracked flying over East German airspace. The aircrafts refused to identify themselves and as such were shot down by East German anti-air. In August 1989 West German funded groups attempted a coup against East Germany. This attempted coup would be the last straw, as the group's facility was raided. The facility was within the West German section of Berlin. East German forces would hold out, and West German forces would respond by firing at said forces. Border guards began fighting and all out war began shortly after. The declaration came the day after by East Germany, although unlike Article 5 states, NATO chose not to intervene directly just yet as the conflict was caused by 'mutual aggression'. The conflict would mostly stalemate until 1994, where East German forces entered West Berlin. The city was quickly taken due to being surrounded. As the region was integrated across 1994-1999, NATO made a move to attack East Germany to prevent the final moves of Berlin's unity into the East. Saxony fell to NATO forces within a few months, and the Soviet Union demanded the immediate withdrawal from Saxony. The US refused, and the rest of NATO followed. The Y2K war began in August 1999.
