Soldiers fight and die in the Global War (Robotech: The Macross Saga: "Boobytrap")
The Global War was a period of warfare on Earth during the late-1990s.
History[]
Stewing regional conflicts around the world seemed to explode almost all at once and the major military powers of Earth were spread thin trying to restore and keep the peace. The war came to a sudden end in the year 1999 when a massive alien ship crashed into Macross Island in the South Pacific. This event came to be known as the Macross Incident. ("Boobytrap")
A different, smaller war was occurring in 1990, meaning that the conflict likely started sometime after that point. (Robotech/Voltron: 2)
Behind the scenes[]
The comic Robotech 3D 1: Booby Trap! mentions a lot of incidents that did not appear in the brief flashback, and was later ignored in the new prologue in Robotech: From the Stars.
