When this failed to bring the Federation to its knees, Zeon follows up by invading Earth. Despite coexisting more-or-less peacefully for years, Zeon launched a surprise attack using their devastatingly effective new enormous humanoid combat vehicles known as mobile suits, catching the Federation completely off guard, decimating the Federation's military and then proceeding to wipe out half of humanity with a combination of nerve gas, nuclear weapons, and intentionally deorbiting a space colony as a makeshift Orbital Bombardment.
