The Dissolution of the United States occurred in 1986, after two decades of political instability in a world increasingly dominated by the Soviet Union. The United States had been embroiled in the War for Nicaragua against the Soviet Union from 1980 to 1983, and conceded defeat in 1983, in the Managua Peace Accords in Managua, Guatemala. The United States had been heavily bombed from Soviet bases in Cuba and British Columbia. After the war, various groups rose up against central government authority and demanded increased State control of Federal Policy.
