The Invasion of Earth
Space was in total chaos, while Earth's government fell apart. Seeing the weakened Earth Government Zeon and ZAFT invaded Earth with the intention of taking new territory for themselves. Zeon's forces managed to take control of North East Africa and South Central Asia, while ZAFT took North East Africa and all of Austrailia. This through Eath into a deeper panic. This was no longer a Revolution, this was insanity. But the worst was yet to come for Earth.

The Rise of the Gundam
The war had started it's second year when a new name became famous. This researcher, Professor Tousen, seemed to appear as if from nowhere and offered his research to all sides during the war.This made him both hated and respected by all sides.

Rumors existed of Tousen before but his name truely came to the frey when he began supplying factions his new mobile suit concept, the Gundam. (Tousen's name was leaked, in actuallity he was trying to keep low profile.) The first groups to use the designs were the Federation, which started by applying the Gundam concept to their existing GMs, and ORB, which was desperate for defense as the war made its way to Earth. Soon, all the Earth nations and ZAFT were using this revolutionary type of Mobile suit, but another discovery would further complicate the war at the dawn of it's third year.
