From skimming a few documents from different eras, it looks like Aggressor's story shifted somewhat over time. Originally it was a Western European fascist movement, but later its location got vague and its backstory a lot more parallel to the USSR. It even had a split between Aggressor and "Hostilia" when Hostilia's Chinese-named leader had a different interpretation on "Akilo Petrovansi's" political philosophy than Aggressor.

For FM30-102 specifically, the 1969 version is the last one with fake history; the 1973 version is just a generic "these are the opponents" set-up. The history of the campaigns from 1946-1969 covers six pages. Tactical nukes are used by both sides starting in April 1952 in Texas, with nuclear and chemical weapons used intermittently after that.
