Something I wrote up. Based on the real world event of Greece's Financial troubles which starts a fictional war between three factions.
This story can be played out in the Modern War "Reloading" mod for Generals: Zero Hour.

The world in Early 2012.

In early 2012 the world economy is slowly returning to some stability when
Greece reports that it will not be able to make payments on its second
bailout. This means Greece will be bankrupt, and have little to no
government by the first of March. The EU then begins to plan what to do
with Greece, or what will be left with it. Now, Across the Atlantic in
the United States. The debt has continued to climb. United States debt
holders are becoming furious with the U.S. Congress, and President.
However. A new faction was stirring. A beast that has been silent for
years. The Global Rebellion Force. Established quickly, it filled the
power vacuum left over from US campaigns in the Middle East. It would
only be a matter of a few months before they would be known on the world
scale.

Date: March 4th, 2012.
Location: Southeastern Greece.

By this time Greece has been bankrupt for three days. What is left of
Greece's Military guards the small town of Karfistos. Karfistos is
located near Greece's major Oil Refinement Plant the fall of this would
be a death blow the the Greek military. There is also a nearby
Airport where international aid is coming through.

"Today marks a glorious day brothers! Months and years of planning have
finally led to this moment! We have been hidden unknown to our hated
enemies, but now our time has come! We will reveal or selves like a sand
serpent striking from beneath. Comrades. Fight not only for your
survival, but fight for your future! For your future comrades! Charge!" ~ Alkarhid, Global Rebellion Forces Officer.

After this speech Global Rebellion Forces flooded down from their base in the
hills outside Karfistos along with the aid of Civilians influenced by
GRF messages. After much battle and loss, the GRF finally claimed it's
first victory in battle. In the next few days the GRF filled in the
power vacuum left behind, by the Greek Government and military. By
March 10th the GRF had full control over all of Greece.

Date: March 12th, 2012.
Location: Northwestern Greece.

At this time the GRF has established a strong dominance over Greece, or
what they now call Greekan. News of GRF conquering Greece was a large
shock to the world. Not only did it strike a blow to the world economy,
but also a physical blow to the EU. While the EU scrambled to recover
from this total failure, the US saw the GRF as a threat to its allies
and launched an immediate counter attack from near by bases. Spending
millions of dollars doing so. This new campaign infuriated Chinese debt
holders whom decided that if their debtor would not pay his debts then
they would make him pay his debts. On March 12th a convoy sent from a US
military base to resupply a strike force plunging deep into GRF forces
was suddenly attacked.

The first warning was the sound of  jets. We knew... We knew there was gonna be no Aerial escort, but only until the road was completely ablaze with napalm and men where fleeing
from their cars on fire did we know that we were doomed. I was fortunate
enough to not be riding in a vehicle that got hit. I immediately dove
out of my truck and noticed the Chinese J-10's flying back to an
airfield somewhere. A few seconds after that the Type-98's and Dragon
tanks rolled down the hills. I knew there was going to be no fighting
back. So I fled. ~ Private Marc Kalt.

This sudden attack was only a sign of what was to come. The United States,
panicking, sent a diplomatic envoy to China immediately. They were not
granted an audience with the Emperor, or any representative. The United
States did not know where to turn from there. They brought their
Military up to high alert, and started homeland-war-time protocols. F-35
Raptor patrols became a common occurrence.

On March 17th, a Chinese
Navy was spotted heading to towards Washington state. US Intel reported
that the Chinese navy planned to sail into the Juan De Fuca strait and
send a detachment down into Puget Sound then an attack would be made on
Seattle.

The United States is now stuck in a Two Front war with little help.
This is a Historical Chapter in the History of the World. Only you can decide how it will end.
