The Confederate States War erupted in 2025, a direct consequence of the escalating fragmentation of the United States that began in the early 2020s. The seeds of this conflict were sown with the secession of the New Western States of America in 2023, which emboldened other regions to assert their independence. Shortly after, the Confederate States of America, comprising states with deep-seated historical and cultural ties, followed suit, declaring their own separation from the federal government.
The Confederate States War (2025) was a devastating conflict that erupted following the secession of the Confederate States of America from the United States. Sparked by political polarization, economic strain, mass illegal immigration, and deep cultural divisions, the war pitted the [[Western Confederate States of America]] (WCSA) against the [[Eastern Confederate States of America]] (ECSA). The conflict saw significant battles, including the Battle of Houston, the Siege of Atlanta, and the Mississippi River Campaign, resulting in widespread humanitarian and economic crises. Despite a ceasefire agreement in early 2026, the war left lasting scars and further fragmented the nation, leading to the formation of the [[Nomocracy Republic of the Midwest]] and highlighting the deep-seated divisions within the country.


Tensions within the newly formed Confederate States quickly surfaced. Political polarization, economic strain, and cultural differences between the western and eastern factions created a volatile mix. The Western Confederate States of America (WCSA), including Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, and Oklahoma, adopted a libertarian approach, prioritizing individual rights and minimal government intervention. In contrast, the Eastern Confederate States of America (ECSA), consisting of Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina, adhered to a more traditionalist and conservative ideology, emphasizing states' rights and regional identity.
==== Background ====
'''New Western States of America Secession (2023)''' The New Western States of America seceded from the United States in 2023, leading to increased fragmentation and instability within the country. This move emboldened other regions to assert their independence.


The initial months of 2024 witnessed a series of skirmishes and localized conflicts as tensions boiled over. These early clashes were primarily over control of resources and strategic positions, reflecting the deep mistrust and rivalry between the factions. By mid-2025, these skirmishes escalated into full-scale war, plunging the Confederate States into chaos.
'''Confederate States of America Secession (2023)''' Following the New Western States, the Confederate States of America also seceded, further weakening the central government's control.


One of the most significant engagements of the war was the Battle of Houston. The ECSA launched a major offensive aimed at capturing Houston, a crucial economic hub with vital oil refineries and ports. The WCSA mounted a fierce defense, and after weeks of intense fighting, they managed to repel the ECSA forces. This victory was pivotal for the WCSA, bolstering their morale and securing a critical supply line.
==== Causes ====
 
'''Political Polarization''' Growing political polarization and dissatisfaction with the federal government led to increased regional tensions and calls for independence.
Meanwhile, the Siege of Atlanta became a symbol of the war's brutality. The ECSA laid siege to Atlanta, a key logistical hub for the WCSA. The city, with its strategic railroads and highways, was essential for moving troops and supplies. The siege lasted for several months, resulting in significant casualties and widespread destruction. Atlanta changed hands multiple times, each shift marked by fierce urban combat and devastating losses for both sides.
 
The Mississippi River Campaign was another crucial aspect of the conflict. Control over the Mississippi River, a vital transportation and supply route, was fiercely contested. Naval and amphibious engagements along the river led to heavy losses and highlighted the strategic importance of the waterway. The campaign saw numerous battles, with both factions vying for dominance over this critical artery.
 
As the war dragged on, the human cost became increasingly evident. The conflict caused a massive humanitarian crisis, with millions of civilians displaced from their homes. Refugees flooded into neighboring states and regions, straining resources and complicating aid efforts. The ongoing civil war in the rest of the United States limited humanitarian assistance, exacerbating the suffering of the civilian population.
 
Economically, the war was devastating. Local economies collapsed under the strain of prolonged conflict, leading to shortages of food, medicine, and essential supplies. Infrastructure was heavily damaged, further hindering economic recovery and exacerbating the hardships faced by the civilian population.
 
By late 2025, the conflict reached a stalemate. Both factions were exhausted, with resources dwindling and war fatigue setting in. Despite their ideological differences, neither the WCSA nor the ECSA could secure a decisive victory. Recognizing the need for a resolution, international observers and the Central National Connection pressured both sides to negotiate a ceasefire.
 
In early 2026, a fragile ceasefire agreement was brokered. The terms included the establishment of demilitarized zones and a temporary governing council tasked with overseeing reconstruction efforts. The ceasefire brought a tenuous peace, but tensions remained high, and sporadic violence continued to erupt.
 
The aftermath of the Confederate States War further fragmented the United States. The chaos prompted several Midwest states, caught between the warring factions, to form the Nomocracy Republic of the Midwest. This new entity declared its independence, further complicating the political landscape and highlighting the disintegration of the once-unified nation.
 
Despite the ceasefire, the Confederate States War left deep scars. The conflict underscored the fragility of the American experiment in the face of internal divisions and highlighted the enduring impact of political and cultural polarization. As the dust settled, the Confederate States remained a volatile region, with the possibility of renewed conflict always looming on the horizon.
