The Second Battle of Hoover Dam. It was the one turning point for the Mojave from becoming either a controlled territory of Caeser's Legion or an NCR federal state. But surprisingly, neither of those happened. Once the NCR knocked back the Legion assault, they were kicked back themselves to the Mojave Outpost by Mr. House and his robotic army. Once securing New Vegas from both armies, he then proclaimed the city and its surrounding areas part of the Free economic zone of Vegas, securing its independence and his own goals. Luckily, someone was there to make sure House wouldn't only focus on the strip, usually took persuasions, and caused New Vegas to prosper while the NCR expanded Northwest to save its crippling economy and the Legion succumbed into civil war. Things stayed balanced, until that day, when said person came across a slave girl. Fallout NV, RWBY, and the image used belong to their respected creators.
