The Question: Who started the Great War?

In the world of the Fallout games, the Great War was a nuclear holocaust in which all nuclear-equipped nations - namely the U.S., China, and Russia - launched their weapons and sent the world into a permanently radioactive, post-apocalyptic state.

The games have never categorically confirmed one way or another which nation started the Great War, for though U.S. President Richardson tells the player that China launched first, he can't be considered a remotely reliable source on the subject given his position.

China are certainly a highly probable candidate, as are Russia, while Fallout 4 gave birth to the theory that an AI, P.A.M. (Predictive Analytic Machine), may have gone full Skynet and coaxed America into launching first.

Ultimately the "who" isn't that important given that the Great War really just generated a canvas on which the series' stories could unfold, but considering humanity's natural desire for resolution, fans will debate which nation damned humanity to a bleak future forever more.
