==Timeline==
===2162===
Armed conflict ripped through [[South America]], as [[Koslovic]], [[Frieden]] and UN forces clashed over ideological differences, sparking additional conflicts off-planet, such as the [[Argyre Planitia Campaign]]. This war brought a great deal of suffering to the people of [[Earth]], and caused an enormous famine.


==Background==
==Trivia==
In 2162, following the [[Jovian Moons Campaign]], armed conflict ripped through [[South America]] as [[Koslovic]], [[Frieden]] and UN forces clashed over ideological differences. Additional guerrilla attacks took place across Earth on military and nonmilitary targets, along with several concurrent off-planet skirmishes. In the later stages of the wars, [[Neo-Friedenism|Neo-Friedenists]] emerged as an offshoot of the Frieden movement willing to negotiate with the United Nations. Their disagreements with the mainline Frieden led to the [[Battle of Delambre]] on [[Luna]], in which the two factions engaged one another.<ref>'''Halo: The Cole Protocol''', ''page 113''</ref> The Rainforest Wars also sparked additional conflicts off-planet, such as the [[Mars Campaign]] three months later. The conflict brought a great deal of suffering to the people of Earth, and caused an enormous famine.{{Ref/Reuse|halostory}}
*''[[A Soldier's Tale: Rainforest Wars]]'' was written about this event. This book is a favorite of [[CPO Franklin Mendez]], and described as a "military classic" in ''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''.<ref>'''[[Halo: Ghosts of Onyx]]''', pages 378-379</ref>
*Two of [[Admiral]] [[Preston Cole]]'s great-grandfathers (on his mother's side) served in the Rain Forest Wars. One did not survive. The other, [[Captain (Ground forces)|Captain]] ´[[Oliver Franks]], received the [[Bronze Star]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Evolutions -  Essential Tales of the Halo Universe]]''', ''[[The Impossible Life and the Possible Death of Preston J. Cole]]'', page 415</ref>
*An early timeline had the Rain Forest Wars take place in 2170. This was changed a few months later in development.<ref>[http://marathon.bungie.org/story/halo_backstory.html '''marathon.bungie.org''': ''Halo Backstory'']</ref>


The wars inspired some of the 22nd century's most famous literature. ''[[A Soldier's Tale: Rainforest Wars]]'' was written about this event by [[Jeremiah Mendez]], and was considered a military classic in the 26th century.{{Ref/Reuse|HE33}} This book is a favorite of [[Franklin Mendez|CPO Franklin Mendez]].{{Ref/Reuse|goo}}
