The Western War (June 8, 2053 – September 13, 2059), also known as the Second American Civil War, and in Russia as the American War (Russian: Американская война), was an armed conflict between the House of The Resurrection (typically referred to as "West America") and the Second American Republic ("East America") alongside Canada. The conflict was marked by extensive foreign intervention, particularly Chinese, Indian and Russian-backed militias. The conflict is generally marked as the end of the American Century of Humiliation.

The conflict began on the evening of June 8, 2053, after months of tensions between the House of The Resurrection and the Second American Republic. These tensions culminated during the coronation of the self-styled "Emperor Adam I", a three-star General in the Resurrection Air Force selected by a hardline majority in the Council of The Resurrection. During his speech, the paramilitary Christian Defense Army attacked Second American Republic military installations, government buildings and population centers across the line of control. Less than an hour later, Western regular forces launched a full-scale invasion of the Second American Republic.
The West made significant gains in the opening months of the war, capturing the entire Pacific Coast by the end of 2053 in the West Coast Sieges. Shortly thereafter, Russia provided the Nuclear Aerial Carrier Strakh to the Resurrection Air Force, one of just two in existence at the time, both owned by Russia. In March of 2054, the East launched its own NAC, Galactica. Until mid-2056, the conflict was primarily defined by bombardment from high altitude by the rapidly-expanding fleets of NACs, missile attacks by both sides and air-to-air combat.
In mid-2056, Western forces launched an offensive into Canada, quickly destroying Canada's military assets with an all-out missile attack. The East was forced to reposition troops to assume control of much of canada, and
