  • ISIS, ISIL, or Islamic State is a small self proclaimed Islamic caliphate in parts of Iraq and Syria, claiming it has authority over all Islamic peoples across the globe and calling them to pledge their allegiance to the caliphate. In present day it has direct authority and occupation over a small amount of land with about 10 million people and is still attempting to expand throughout the middle east. It is viewed generally in a negative light across the globe and is responsible for the deaths of many innocent people and the destruction of many historic and cultural sites across Iraq and Syria. It has operatives in many countries across the world and an army of nearly 100,000 direct fighters, and claims to be recruiting aroud 7,000 new fighters from across the world each month, slightly faster than the large coalition of countries fighting the group is able to kill them off. Nearly every major terrorist group has declared allegiance to ISIS, such as the Taliban, al-Qaeda, and Boko Haram. Islamic State is responsible for public mass executions using medieval methods such as beheading and burning, as well as terror attacks in the United States, France, and the United Kingdom. Although a coalition of about 60 countries claim to be fighting the Islamic State, little to no progress has been made as of September 2015 in defeating it, although its expansion has slowed somewhat. Many world leaders have denounced ISIS, but also write it off as a credible threat. It has been compared to Nazi Germany, called anti-Islamic, among others, but has not ceased to find funding or recruits across the world, as well as establish a presence in countries both neighboring it and abroad, such as France, the UK, the United States, Canada, and Japan among others. As previously stated, little to nothing is being done to stop something comparable to the Nazis, and which is growing at an alarming rate. This scenario/timeline explores what could possibly come in the future if ISIS remains unchecked, taking into account the governments and affairs of major nations across the globe.
