Editing United States (section)

== History ==

=== Early and modern development ===
The United States declared independence in 1776 and adopted its constitutional framework in 1789. Over the 19th and 20th centuries, it expanded territorially and developed into a major global political, economic, and military power.

By the early 21st century, the country remained influential in global finance, security, science, and technology.

=== Tanoa files and January 2025 collapse ===
In late 2024, internal documents related to the [[Tanoa Einsatzgruppen]] were leaked. The files detailed long-term coordination between elements within the United States federal structure and Tanoa-linked leadership networks. The disclosures included intelligence exchanges, logistical arrangements, and indirect financial facilitation.

The revelations triggered widespread public unrest, institutional paralysis, and state-level emergency declarations. On 18 January 2025, escalating confrontations in [[Washington, D.C.]] and several state capitals resulted in the suspension of federal executive authority. Congressional activity halted, and multiple high-ranking officials were detained or resigned.

By the end of January 2025, the existing federal administration had ceased functioning. This period is commonly referred to as the '''Federal Collapse Crisis'''.

=== Planned Tanoa intervention and California contingency ===
Subsequent investigations revealed that the [[Tanoa Einsatzgruppen]] had prepared contingency plans to intervene directly in United States territory in the event of prolonged federal destabilisation.

According to recovered operational drafts, the primary projected entry point for such an intervention was the state of [[California]]. The region was identified due to its Pacific coastline access, logistical infrastructure, and pre-existing covert maritime channels previously used for indirect coordination.

The documents indicated that California would have served as a staging ground for broader continental expansion had federal authority remained fragmented. However, the rapid consolidation of state and military leadership in late January 2025 prevented any external deployment.

No confirmed Tanoa military landing occurred.

=== Federal restoration (February 2025) ===
In early February 2025, a coalition of state governors, senior military officials, and surviving congressional leadership convened under emergency constitutional provisions. A provisional restoration framework was implemented, reaffirming the authority of the Constitution.

By mid-February 2025:
* Congressional sessions resumed under interim security protocols  
* A transitional executive structure was installed  
* Federal judicial oversight was reinstated  

The re-establishment of the federal government formally ended the collapse period. Investigations into Tanoa-linked cooperation continued under newly formed oversight committees.
