The Awakening hit, a massive resurgence of magic into the world that resulted in the minsnamed "Mayan Sixth World". Humanity responded as one might expect, not, as fantasy books suggested with smiles and acceptance of alien cultures entering their homeland. But with bombs. Big, nuclear bombs. The war started 3 months later. To be fair, it was the shortest world war in existence and was over by the end of the year. The war succeeded where diplomacy could not. There were now very few places people could actually live, regardless of whether they are man or troll. Cohabitation was the only solution.

Judges.
