Ok I got some problems with the timeline here. We always assumed that about 50 years after the events in RA (1946) GDI was founded (1995) and TW1 occured right after that. But now the Renegade manual says 2020 - since Renegade must take place during TW1 because Kane is still alive and the last mission is somewhat identical to the final mission in C&C1 where you destroy the temple in the end, TW1 must have happened in 2020. So our timeline presents itself like this:

1946
The Soviets invade Europe but are defeated in the end by Allied troops.

1995
Meteor impact near Tiber in Italy - Kane and western scientists (aka Dr. Moebius) notice it. GDI is formed in secret to research possible risks of Tiberium while not making it public. Tiberium starts spreading in the years following the impact. Studies are made concluding that Tiberium is making the civilian population sick, as the Tiberium related deseases such as respiratory and reproductive ailments. The Brotherhood reveals itself and starts researching Tiberium.

2020
By now Tiberium Riparius has spread into over 200 areas of the world, only few countries have been left untouched. Single blue Tiberium crystals have been found. Tiberium research continues and by now Nod controls about half of the global Tiberium deposits. Soon Nod launches a full scale attack on GDI different from their earlier terrorist tactics. The First Tiberium War has begun which GDI wins in the end. Kane's body is never found after the Ion cannon hit his temple and Sydney is rescued.

2030
While Nod moved to the underground during Kane's absence, GDI was able to develop technologies like walkers from the XO-Powersuit proto-type, railguns and hover tanks. In late august that year Slavik unifies the Brotherhood. Kane returns and hacks into Philadelphias secure network to talk to the new head of GDI, General Solomon. Immediately after the message from Kane, Nod wages war once more. Technology has changed during the last ten years. The Second Tiberium War is upon the world and at the end of it Nod is defeated again. In the chaos Slavik decides CABAL must be reactivated. In the meantime GDI is digging in Kane's pyramid temple in Cairo. Kodiak crashes during an ion storm, McNeil and Chandra probably died in the crash. December 2030 - the Firestorm Crisis. CABAL turns against both GDI and Nod. After days of battle and an alliance between the old archenemies, CABAL is thought to be destroyed.

2047
Nod has secretly been recovering from their second defeat and launches a surprise attack on Philadelphia. Solomon and most other military leaders die, GDI is left in chaos.
