The way I see it...
The world started to go to hell. War happened in the Middle East which stopped all oil traffic.
This caused an economical crisis all around the world which resulted in massive lay-offs, riots, closed banks and shops, people starting to arm themself, etc.
Biker gangs and lowlife criminals started to cause such huge problems so the Government had to create the Main Force Patrol to combat them, which Max is a member of.
This is when the first movie takes place, right before hell happen.
Power plants runs out of fuel and all electrical devices stops working. Food gets harder to get. Looting gets worse. You cant survive alone so people join gangs. There is no reason to stay in cities, they cant provide food. There might be some unlooted farms left so people tries to find them.
Mad Max 2 takes place 3 years after the first movie. It exist no economy and people tries to survive, just to find gangs of crazy killers out there.
The remaining Governments tries to secure the few resources left, which results in a resource war. Which ends with nukes because fuck the rest. Nuclear winter happen and then most of Australia turns into a giant desert.
Beyond Thunderdome takes place 15 years after 2. Pretty much no oil left, food is rare, water is even more rare and radioactive. Civilization is dead.
