Mexican Civil War

The Mexican Civil War was a war fought after the Mexican Social Reformation Party began to secede from Mexico, resulting in tensions between Mexico and the Opposition. By the end of 2006, the Mexican states of Yucatán and Quintana Roo had walls surrounding their borders and began to secede from Mexico. It named itself the South Mexican Social Republic and had an official flag in 2007. Cuba was welcoming of a new communist nation rising in Central America, but was met with strong opposition from the Union of Everett and United States. South Mexico's dictator, José Santiago, began to secretly fund terrorism for an attempt to gain more control of Mexico and Central America. Its biggest group, El Libertad, bombed several Mexican and Everetti villages, resulting in strict border patrols. Soon, Mexican terrorist organizations began to rise, but were less successful as the state refused to fund them.

Mexico City Incident
On March 8th, José Santiago sent several El Libertad terrorists to Mexico City to detonate several powerful explosives. They arrived in Mexico City at around 11:00 AM and attracted no suspicion at all. Two men were strapped with C4 explosives and were sent into a highly populated area. An estimated 1500 were within a kilometer radius. At 11:07, the C4 was detonated, killing 16 and injuring 32. One terrorist that was armed with an AK-47 assault rifle opened fire on the survivors, killing 34 more. The terrorist attempted to flee but was spotted by police officers and was shot on site. By 12:15, the attack was discovered to be a South Mexican attack and not a Cuban or internal attack. That evening, Felipe Calderón stated that military action will be taken against the belligerents of the attacks.

Operation Ridge
Felipe Calderón met with Everetti President Kaitlyn Rachel Spencer to discuss the attacks. They both agreed that military action must be taken against South Mexico and began to plan Operation Ridge. On March 17th, Everetti transport planes would fly over South Mexico dropping 3500 paratroopers into the area. Several Everetti cruisers and aircraft carriers would be on the Yucatán shoreline, waiting for any enemy warships or jets. Mexican ground forces would move in from the east and destroy the walls on the border. By then, over 8000 troops would be moving in to secure the area. Their objective is to map out the land for a much larger and full-scale attack.

In the early morning of March 17th, over 800 Everetti C-17 transport planes dropped 3500 paratroopers over South Mexico. Over 200 cruisers were near the shoreline guarding the area. At around 4:00 AM, a Cuban cargo vessel reported about 6 Everetti cruisers off 100 miles off the shore of Cuba. The Cuban military was notified and sent out several fighter jets to attack the cruisers. Bombs were dropped on the ships at 5:10 AM and Everetti troops were notified. South Mexico sent troops east and Everett's plan was blown. A firefight broke out between Everetti and South Mexican soldiers, killing 71 Everettis and 34 South Mexicans. A full retreat was ordered at 7:45 AM and Everetti troops fled the country. When news of this reached the United States and the Soviet Union, they agreed to aid Mexico and the Union of Everett in the next attack.
