The four nations lived in harmony until the Fire Nation declared war on the rest of the world and wiped out the Air Nomads. The Avatar who is the only one who can bend all four elements is supposed to maintain balance in the world but he disappeared for one hundred years. The current Avatar was eventually found by Katara and Sokka inside of an iceberg. His name is Aang and he is the only remaining Air Nomad.

Fanon
Avatar: The Last Airbender is a very popular show and has a large fandom. Many fans were very interested in the anime-esque show and some even considered it to be an anime. Others, however, will get angry if anybody claims that Avatar is an anime series. However, many fans will also get mad if the show is called a cartoon or referred to as a kid's show. A live-action movie adaption of the first season titled "The Last Airbender" was eventually released and most fans hated it.
The shipping wars in Avatar: The Last Airbender are some of the nastiest shipping wars in existence. The main focus was Kataang vs. Zutara. Kataang is the obvious pairing that became canon at the end of the series while Zutara was the most popular pairing at one point that never became canon. Once Zuko joined Team Avatar and Katara hugged him, many fans of both sides began to believe that Zutara might actually happen. This especially became the case when Katara rejected Aang. However, Aang and Katara did end up together in the end which sparked a lot of debate among the fans of whether it really should have happened. Years later, a sequel series known as the Legend of Korra was announced and it was revealed that Aang and Katara had a son named Tenzin. This caused the shipping wars to resurface.
Trivia
- Avatar: The Last Airbender is influenced by many Asian cultures and anime.
