( WP ) The US had another civil war dividing it into 3 countries . Your a history teacher in the the year 2114 telling kids about the most important battle of the war .

`` Well, kids, it all started in 2020,'' the teacher said. `` The 3 sections of the United States were separated into three different countries.'' 
 
 `` What's the United States?'' Dolly asked. 
 
 `` It's what this land used to be called,'' the teacher answered. 
 
 `` My great great grandaddy said that the United States was quite a sight to see before the war,'' Bobby chimed in. 
 
 `` Yes, yes it was,'' the teacher said. `` Now back to the lesson. The three countries were tired of a war that had lasted for years and were making a big push, where all three of them entered battle at the same time. The Nation of Texas had overstepped its bounds, thinking that the United Western Kingdom were a bunch of hippie pussys. And they thought they could try to conquer the Eastern United States at the same time. All the way from Maine to Mississippi.'' 
 
 `` Well, they were mistaken. Both the United Western Kingdom and Eastern United States decided that they would conquer the Nation of Texas and split the land 50/50, and then decide what to do about each other afterwards. A temporary treaty.'' 
 
 `` So, what happened in the big battle?'' another student asked. 
 
 `` Well,'' the teacher started, `` Texas got pissed. And one of the Eastern United States generals thought that it would also be a good time to try to conquer the Western Kingdom while they were unprepared. Texas fired a nuke. The Western Kingdom got wind of the general's attack from the Eastern United States and fired a nuke. Soon, the Eastern United States joined in.'' 
 
 `` And then, Russia thought it was an excellent time to fire some nukes of their own. So did North Korea. And so some old systems that had been forgotten about in the United States launched the nukes automatically back at the other countries. When one targeted North Korea, China got in on the action too. And soon, the United States, Russia, North Korea, and China all went up in flames and destruction. And so ended the civil war of the United States.'' 
 
 `` Then how can we be where the United States used to be?'' John asked. 
 
 `` Because,'' the teacher began, `` three states survived the nukings. North Dakota, South Dakota, and Iowa. They decided to join with Canada, and that is why we are all Canadians instead of Americans nowadays.'' 
 
 `` Why did the three states survive?'' Madeline asked. 
 
 `` Well, to be honest,'' the teacher said. `` People forgot they existed. No one even bothered to target a nuke at those states.''
