Foreword

The Fallout world is not our own. It is set in a universe that diverged, but shares many historical milestones prior to the events of World War II: While it takes place in the future, it is not our future, but one reflecting a traditional 1950s-style science fiction "world of tomorrow."

This timeline is only for the chronological sequence of all events in the Fallout world events seen or mentioned in Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3, Fallout: New Vegas, Fallout 4, Fallout 76, all official Fallout game guides, and supplementary materials like the Fallout Bible as well as the Fallout TV series.
