Fallout: Timeline To The Apocalypse

https://www.patreon.com/c/AcceptableLossesHave you ever wondered how the world of Fallout truly ended? Before the Wasteland and before the Vaults opened, a series of events pushed humanity to the brink. On this episode of Acceptable Losses, we conduct a historical deep dive into the complete timeline that led to the Great War on October 23rd, 2077. Our journey begins in the post-WWII era, where the timeline first frays from our own, leading to a world with a prolonged 1950s aesthetic and an ever-escalating Cold War focused on China instead of the U.S.S.R. We'll uncover the truth behind powerful mega-corporations like West-Tek and Vault-Tec, whose innovations and secret projects had horrifying consequences. Follow the global decay as resource shortages sparked decades of conflict, and China's invasion of Alaska ignited the brutal Sino-American War. Discover the origins of the Forced Evolutionary Virus (FEV), the shadow government known as The Enclave turning civilian vaults into social experiments, and the final, desperate hours that sealed the world's fate.
