Nothing on this page silently crosses from history into fiction. Source records are labeled as dataset claims. Ongoing claims are not settled history. The separate 2027–2036 register begins with FICTIONAL SCENARIO — NOT HISTORICAL, NOT A FORECAST; its probabilities are source-authored estimates that are not calibrated or additive, and its consequence paths are illustrative rather than predictive.

UNCHANGED SOURCE-BOUNDED RECORD

2021 - Haiti governance collapse, gang violence, and intervention debates

In 2021, Haiti governance collapse, gang violence, and intervention debates functioned as an annual strategic development rather than one isolated incident. Assassination, gang territorial control, weak institutions, and debated outside intervention made Haiti a recurring crisis. The record is included because this stream shaped military planning, espionage priorities, terrorism risk, economic coercion, civil protection, or global governance during the year. Location is Haiti in Haiti when the issue had a clear theater; otherwise a representative hub or blank global coordinate is used. Impact scope is assessed as Continental.
