A Ghost-led military operation was mounted in mid-2015 to assassinate Almagro in Caracas, Venezuela. As Almagro intensified his rhetoric while demanding the arrest or execution of every US-born individual living within Federation territory, he drew the wrath of the United States of America. Under the leadership of the strongly anti-American General Diego Almagro, the Federation spread unchecked throughout the rest of South America. With these nations spread thin trying to maintain order, the oil-rich South American nations of Venezuela, Brazil, and Chile united on June 2nd, 2014, to form the Federation of the Americas to monopolize their own resources and consolidate power over their neighbors. First World countries around the globe were crippled, like the United States and their NATO allies, as well as Russia, China, and India. In an alternate 21st century, the Federation was established in the wake of multiple conflicts in the Middle East that culminated in the Tel Aviv War, which devastated the entire region and triggered a global energy crisis.
