The European Civil War was a series of military conflicts between former member states of the European Commonwealth.
Background
After the European Commonwealth-Middle East War came to an end in 2060 when the Middle East's oil fields dried up, there was no purpose in fighting anymore.[Non-game 1] The European Commonwealth quickly began to dissolve into quarreling nation states fighting over the last remaining resources on Earth.[1]
Appearances
The European Civil War is mentioned in the original Fallout and the Fallout Bible.

For these resources, China would invade Alaska, the US would annex Canada, and the European Commonwealth would dissolve into quarreling, bickering nation-states, bent on controlling the last remaining resources on Earth."
