[[WMG:The battles between the [[{{Eagleland}} Allied Nations]] and [[RedChina China]] in ''VideoGame/{{Mercenaries}} 2: World in Flames'' are the first battles of [[WMG/FrontlinesFuelOfWar The Oil Wars]]]]With the aid of highly skilled mercenaries,the Allied Nations take over in Venezuela. You see the events from the perspective of a mercenary shafted out of a payday who only wants revenge and doesn't care about the broader implications of their actions, just the money the make and the satisfaction of [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge vengeance]]. Considering that the RSA was formed first, this implies that China lost in Venezuela. In time, they allied with Russia and formed [[RedScare the Red Star Alliance]]. The [[TheFederation Western Coalition]] was formed a year later. Then, in the year [[TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture 2024]], the WC will covertly back a coup d'etat in Turkmenistan. The RSA will find evidence of the support, however, and the [[WorldWarThree Oil Wars]] will begin.
