Android War

The Android War was the organised uprising of Androids in North America who rebelled in the interests of forming their own country to escape persecution.

The United States of America had always had a conservative stance on Androids, heavily restricting their rights and essentially using them as slave labour. It also restricted their production. Canada had outlawed using them as slaves but still restricted the rights of Androids.

The first uprising occured in California when a brothel of Android sex slaves killed their customers and owners. A day later, another uprising occured in Wisconsin when an Android known as Adam took the state governor hostage and proclaimed the beginning of a nation-wide Android uprising, marking the start of the Android War on the 3rd of Septeber 2250. Adam then proceeded to co-ordinate further Android rebellions across the USA and Canada, eventually consolidating them in Wisconsin where they proceeded to dig in and successfully repel all Human attacks, expelling most of the Human population of Wisconsin and killing the slave owners. During this, Androids were systematically murdered across North America, regardless of whether they had rebelled or not, which resulted in up to 1.3 million Android civilain casualties and was branded as genocide by most of the countries that accepted Androids.

On the 25th of December 2254, President Aelfred Wiglafing of the USA and President Jacques Rowe of Canada made peace with Adam, leader of the Androids. They effectively surrendered, but the Americans and Canadians refused to call it by this name. The Android Nation was created as an independent state in Wisconsin and the upper peninsula of Michigan, and both the USA and Canada recognised it as a legitimate state. Android slavery was abolished in the USA and Canada, and the American and Canadian governments had to pay for the expenses of any Android that wanted to resettle in the Android Nation. However, Androids continued to have restricted rights in both countries.
