American 🇺🇸

n Guts & Blackpowder, the hostility between American and British soldiers stems from the War of 1812, which concluded only a short time before the outbreak of the apocalyptic Blight. Because the two nations had just been fighting a bitter war against one another, deep-seated national animosity and distrust lingered when their forces later interacted in Europe (such as around Roscoff). Key Details • The War of 1812: The conflict between the United States and Great Britain ended just months prior to the events in maps like Hougoumont and Roscoff, leaving raw political and military tensions. • Lingering Animosity: Rather than instantly uniting as allies against the zombie-like Blight, old national rivalries and suspicions flared up when American and British troops crossed paths. • Status of the U.S.: While American elements or trade interactions appear in the European theater, the infection itself has not reached the American homeland in the game's official lore.
