So, even though they caused mass devastation, it was not enough to tear the planet apart. However, the majority of these warheads were relatively low yield. What's commonly referred to as The Great War is actually a two hour event in which the world's superpowers (primarily the United States, the USSR, and China) simultaneously launched their entire nuclear stockpiles at each other. The US eventually regained Alaska using its superior technology in the form of heavy powered armor. Results of this war included China's invasion of Alaska to secure its oil reserves, which prompted the United States to annex Canada so that it could use its resources to take back the state.
Eventually, the planet ran out of oil to drive the power hungry machines, which set off a resource war. Since humanity never developed miniaturization, other technologies like energy efficiency weren't developed either. Although technology continued to grow more sophisticated, it was all based on vacuum tubes and atomic energy, which locked the world in an 1950s aesthetic. The game is set in a alternate timeline future, where the transistor was never developed following World War II. Originally inspired by the 1987 role-playing game Wasteland, which also took place in a post-nuclear apocalyptic world, Fallout's open gameplay and signature retro-1950s sci-fi style established a unique identity of its own. Use this information how you will, and good luck out there, Wanderer. So, in preparation of this fall's release of Fallout 4, we've gathered everything you need to know in one convenient location.
You could spend endless hours wandering the Wasteland and still not get find everything there is to know about its history and characters. The world of Fallout is a rich, deep, complex and violent one.
