The Second Continental War began in late 2044, when tensions exploded between the newly formed entities created after the first war. It lasted for 2 years, until December 2046, when a truce was negotiated by mediator Joe Larivee of the Republic of Free Cascadia. The talks took place in the neutral, independent Free City, newly formed in what was Greater Saint Louis. The two continental wars in North America reconfigured the nations of the continent between 2038 and 2046. See map, North America, 2055.
