Jack’s army is very small compared to the Western continents’ empires and will be very hard to control a huge population. Jack’s plan is to destroy the current armies of the entire Western Continents and let the National Guard take care of the land that America occupy while putting a message into the minds of the people “You face us you will die, if you cooperate you will have a great life”. The American military also upgraded their weaponry for the war in a very huge leap. The leap jumps from 1950-1960 to 1980-1990. The military is ready from the prototypes to the actual mass produced weapons such as the supersonic jets, gas turbine engines, radar guided missiles and composite armor. (The enemy is going feel a big big shock and this leap is too fast but the technology of America can actually make the weapons and equipment, also the industries of America can equip the 2-3 million soldiers in the military easily)
How did this war happen?
Long answer: long history of Western continents countries forming and conflicts with one and the other that becomes a deadlock and Goldlock civil war
Short answer: 5 alliances deadlock that is ended by the Goldlock civil war
Here is the medium answer (this is kind of long):
In Western Continents there is mass conflict which results in lots of wars between nations and between these 5 continents and each have an empire superpower which pretty much rule over the other countries on the same continent. This cause the alliances but also the name of the continents they are in. The cause of resentment between empires cause each of the to fight each other and made reforms which made the alliances between the countries they are in more close together and treat each other with kindness and didn’t do the same things like enforcing bad things on one and the other even though there is competition in business. Some of these are low tariffs on imports, freedom of religion (no influence from the church) and things that will help the whole alliance like new weapons (air guns and cannons). The people of the Western Continents may be a lot of things but they are not stupid whatsoever. The other Arpeggios of Continents other than the Western Continent don’t share the same ideas or capabilities. Even though the Western Continents doesn’t have other races or same magical capabilities they wouldn’t even dare to fight the Western Continents because of their unity, technology and their war potential.
The war between the alliances are huge. The wars on the same planet is considerably smaller. The Western Continents are considered to be one of the most advanced and aggressive nations to the rest of the planet. Wars between countries in the rest of the world is usually in the hundred thousands because of knights fighting each other and chivalry. The Western Continents fight Total War because they even conscript people from very huge populations which results in armies being in the hundred millions and cause billions of casualties. This is because casualties are caused by disease, starvation and fighting (but mostly diseases). The Western Continents doesn’t have any allies from the other Arpeggio of Continents and receive not help since the trip between them is too long for trading. Only America with it’s fast and metals ships can effectively trade with the other Arpeggios of Continents. The Western Continents pretty much trade within the alliances. The Western Continents did only 3 wars which cause a death toll that soar into the billions. These wars are caused the The Western Great Wars and each war grows in deaths but have pointless meaning.
WGW I- 12-22 billions deaths

WGW II- 55-66 billions deaths
WGW III-100-120 billion deaths
In between the wars there is usually a short break with a decade break period in between to fix things up since alliances tries to make an agreement but then went to war again. The people fighting in the war is pretty almost anybody that is healthy and capable of fighting. The wars ended when the 3rd WGW ended and didn’t went to war for 23 years. This is because they have an agreement to make a deadlock of alliances and have a peace agreement that the 5 alliances will always have the same power and won’t go to war with each other.
The nations have change their government and systems they use have changed over time. The Western nations used to be a truly feudalism nations while the church have exceptional power. This change over time when Goldlock Empire was still a kingdom and change its system overtime to a more republic like government and the church have no power at all and is just a religion. This conversion anger the church and had a civil war. The church have most of the knights and nobles on its side while Goldlock S. Smith have the backing of the people. The church was controlling the government and the lifestyle of the people. They wanted to have a simple lifestyle while the church was taking bribes from the rich nobles and holding power from the commoners. The church also hold up technology and things that will make lifestyle easier (examples: new crops, guns, education, paper money, etc). Goldlock hate the church and make the government his in one bold move. He made a new system that the land that the king have given is the governments and he will implement new things. The citizens believe in the 14 gods but lose faith because of the church doings. The people follow Goldlock and what he does. Goldlock have a royal private army that consist of nobles, knights and soldiers. The other armies consist of just knights which the most used style of military. Goldlock used new crops, implemented education, guns and economic ideas. This lead to his part of his land to be strong while having the church curious. Goldlock have his military order in a feudalist like system but is not a feudalist military.
Order:
Nobles-High commanders-organize strategy, logistics, and command knights
Knights- Elite soldiers or officers- command soldiers, expert fighter, and see tactics
Soldier-enlisted- receive orders and training from knights
The Goldlock have the technological and military organization that is much better than the churches. The church and high nobles like dukes come to face Goldlock new army and land. The church declare Goldlock as a traitor and heretic even though he is the king. The Goldlock is fully equip with air guns and air cannons. The Goldlock tries to input ideas like the conveyor system and that commoners can rise to become knights and nobles if they have the training and education. These things makes Goldlock region the most powerful region in the Golden Kingdom. When his army battle the church fraction, he was outnumbered 3:1. However, with focus military training and advance technology like guns, he defeated the Church army by making shock wave hit and run attacks with cavalry and light infantry with guns so that the knights can’t fight back. When the knights actually attack the cities of Goldlock they are destroyed by a barrage of air cannons and air guns. This tactic and strategy of new weapons makes Goldlock the victor of the war and rules the country with an iron fist. Goldlock is supreme ruler of the country and then evaded the other countries surrounded him until it now became the Goldlock Empire which almost conquer the whole of Oceania. This change of technology and management didn’t go unnoticed. Veza Empire from Asia, Tang Empire from Africa, Monaco Empire from Antarctica and the Roman Empire from Europe.
The 5 Empires each conquer their own continents and know there is another empire like them and wanting to do war. This is exactly what they did and started the WGW. The war were costly and created huge caustities among the young populations. They signed the 5 Alliances which was delayed before which enacted that if someone or something is going to break the deadlock the 5 alliances will fix the deadlock so that one other alliance will not be stronger than the other. The truth however is to be stronger than the other alliances with them noticing it and conquer the other countries (Guess who doing that now).
How did this war happen?
There is a split in the government in Goldlock Empire which correlates with the agreements of the terms that was signed at the end of WGW 3. This in turn make the other alliances do their duties and in turn try to overthrow the Goldlock Empire current ruler and make Vega the next ruler. This however was supposed to happen. Instead, the other alliances wanted revenge and tries to take over the empire even though the Oceania Alliance is the strongest and can take on two of the other alliances head on in peace times. This is conflicted by the wild card America which attacks the other alliances and made WGW 4.
