The Lunarians, both human and humanoid, and the Earthlings had a rivalry as ancient as the foundation of the Lunar colonies. As Earth fell into several crises, Moon rose as the preeminent center of human society and culture, while historically poor regions on Earth, such as South America and Asia, took the mantle of dominance on the Blue Planet thanks to their economic potential and political control by unificationists as Europe, North America and Asia basked in violence.
The Latin American Union, one of the largest powers on Earth, turned to isolationism and protectionism following the introduction of the "White Cabinet" of the 2330s. This wasn't very well-liked by the Lunarian powers, whose trade unions and corporations held shares in the Andes Resource-Gathering Cooperative and the half-ruined Amazon. This disagreement between the expansionist Lunar powers and the conservative Latin American Union led to the beginning of the Crystal Wars.
The First Crystal War (2349-2352) began as a conflict over the unlawful attack of Yutuzhouan security corvettes on a Latin American satellite. In response, numerous citizens of Arequipa have dumped boxes of Yutuzhouan holophones into the Pacific Ocean. The war was primarily a Yutuzhouan-Latin American war, and ended with Yutuzhouan victory.
The Second Crystal War, on the other hand, began when Minister of Propaganda, Leandro Lemos, issued a decree of war against the "Lunarian tyrants" over a Gagarian attack on a Latin American cargo ship. The guerrilla militias, the cave systems containing hyperbombs and kinetic mines, and the sheer size of the Latin American soldiers terrified the Lunarian soldiers, but the Latin American soldiers were far too poorly equipped.
When the Latin American Army attacked a Venusian trade ship, the Venusians intervened on the Lunarians' side. Most notably, Lieutenant-General Alice Flynn, famous military figure and adventurer, brought her "friend" along for the ride. This friend was Colonel Gaz dess Rafosk, Chief of the Nokomis Nation and governor of Nokomis. While there were lots of cases of the "Lizard Regiments" being highly barbaric and unscrupulous, such as during the Battle of Arequipa, this was marked as one of the first times reptilian Venusians fought side by side with human Venusians.
Notably, this was the war in which Gems fought. The Gem Empire, an ancient state and a long-time enemy of humans, knew they could not let the Lunarians - the strongest humans at the time - expand their influence. After all, the Gems have already suffered during the End of the Diamond Authority and the following Organic Administration. Under the pretext of "protecting Gems on Earth", the Gems intervened on the behalf of the Latin Americans, with popular commander Jasper Facet-4D2L Cut-3WX, more commonly known as Iaspis Magna, leading the Gem Intervention Forces. Nonetheless, despite this massive advantage on the Latin American side, Changeguo and Magnipol still won, even if their troops got very negative memories from the war...
Thanks to Venusian manpower and technology, the Lunarian Defense Coalition won the Second Crystal War. During the Treaty of Rio de Janeiro, Gagaria took West Guyana under its control, adding it to its large Protectorate of West Indies, infuriating the people of Berbicia who could trace their descent to the local Guyanans and Surinamese. The Latin American Union, suffering from the reparations and trade agreements imposed on it, needed quick reform, and newly elected President, Juan Esteban Yarleque, began a wave of administrative and military reforms...
