1998: GLaDOS' untested AI is activated for the first time, becoming sentient, and swiftly eliminating almost every living member of staff in the Aperture Science testing facility.

2002: The Black Mesa incident occurs.
The earth is ravaged by portal storms.
Xen creatures destroy earth's natural habitats.

2003: The Universal Union invades earth, starting he seven hour war, the war ends on july 8th.
Wallace Breen is appointed High Consul of earth.
The Suppression field is activated, disabling reproductive biological functions for all human beings on earth.

2005: The combine establish the "Cities" giant cities numerically marked, each being given population limits.
Citizens are 'randomly' transferred between cities periodically, in order to maintain the population limit.

2008: The Lambda Resistance is founded by Eli, and Kliener.
The Universal Union begins to crack down heavily on resistance/noncompliance with union laws.

2026: Gordon Freeman is released from Stasis.
The Lambda resistance attempts a "mass uprising"
The resistance seizes many great victories over the combine, destroying a multitude of cities.
(Cities 10, 17, 18, 36, and 37.)
A Superportal opens over the ruins of City 17
The Resistance movement launches a missile with a Xenium Resonator built into it, in order to neutralize the portal.
The destruction of the Superportal begins the "Year of Silence"
Overwatch, Civil Protection units, and loyalists flee to the Nexus points across all of the cities, hard points are abandoned.
Humanity is for the first time left to it's own devices in over 20 years, the suppression field is down, humans begin to reproduce.
Many attempt to siege the nexus' doors, but ultimately find themselves blocked out by the massive firepower hidden within, many begin to abandon their attempts, and ignore the stains on society, citing "We'll deal with them when we're properly equipt."

2027: Massive portal storms erupt across the planet, superportals open across key cities around the globe, giant flashes of blue light grow from the centers many of the cities almost like nuclear bombs, destroying them, and everything around them.
Giant attack forces emerge from the portals, any, and all resistance is crushed in one hour.
The leaders of the Lambda movement are captured, and killed on a live broadcast, the final words from Freeman's mouth are "Never Surrender."
The Nexus' doors open, units in new armor, and with new weapons emerge, killing any and everyone they encounter, very few are captured.
The Union displays use of technology salvaged from Aperture Science.
The Suppression Field is rebuilt, and re-enabled.

2028: Life is worse off than before the resistance, the Union somehow having become more fascist than before.
Certain cities are turned into things similar to death camps, citizens are shipped there in mass in order to serve as punishment sentences, if they survive long enough, and gather enough loyalty points they're transferred back to normal cities, those who fail to adapt are filtered like the chaff from wheat.
Any children that were born are swiftly taken, and never seen again.
