MGS Timeline

You're gonna wanna zoom in.



The full Metal Gear Timeline. When I say "full" I mean, I have excluded non-canon games. I have, however included some vaguely canon events, such as historical events in Metal Gear Revengeance.



On the bottom half of the timeline are the Metal Gear events, and on the top half, real historical events.



Key:

Light Green: Historical event (real)

Dark Green: Historical event (Metal Gear)

Orange: Playable events in Metal Gear

Dark Grey: History of Metal Gears

Yellow: The trigger moment for the entire saga

Red: The change from Big Boss to Solid Snake

Light Grey: Formation and liquidation of organisations (Note: some do not have a background, as they have a logo/insignia)

Peach: Events that are different Historically then in MGS



Time periods:

Red: Main Wars

Orange: Proxy Wars

Bars: World Leaders:

-Navy Blue: USA / America

-Dark Green: UK / United Kindom

-Red: USSR / Russia

-Yellow: PRC / China

-Orange: DPRK / North Korea

-Black: Nazi Germany

-Purple: Fascist Italy

-Light Blue: Fascist Spain

-Pink: North Vietnam

-Light Green: South Korea

-White: Fascist Japan



I have also grouped together the events taking place inside games in the franchise.

Events that do not have specific dates have been set to Jan 1 XXXX (Unless they are described in relation to a Jan 1 event, then approximate time is added). Events stated to be within a time frame have been approximated to Jan 1 of the median year.



--You're pretty good.--
