I meant to put this in my civil war thread, but It won't let me post.
Now heres where this all comes together.
I am from 2200. I have calculated a 12 percent difference between our worldlines. I am a historian here to search for the past of these 2 figures who play a part in the civil war. Each of our historians goes to different world lines because some figures in our war don't exist in others. In some the war never even happened. So now I am here to search for they're History. Both are major players in our war and it is possible that they won't have anything to do with yours, but I was assigned this mission.
My goal is to uncover a lost piece of history around the time of the wars end to about 2150. I will explain.
I was checking to see how accurate the data from other universes is. If it was different than the result of our civil war I would abruptly travel back to my world line for a new assignment.
Now in our world the revolution began after the election. A terrorist network, a number of paramilitary organisations, and a private gurilla force attacked. The election was so heated that the losing party joined them in the war, providing solders and an industrial base.
Many citizens moved to the country, and in a few years the political differences of people leaving the citys was such that the countrymen of all pollitical partys were against all city dwellers reguardless of party. Generally, however, the less secure democrats lived in the country while the republicans who trusted the government lived in the city.
By 2010 the war had engulfed cuba, canada, and mexico into it. By 2011 most of Europe was involved, usuly directly, but also supplying the us with goods. Russia sold whoever had money stuff, and china the same.
In 2012 a large number of NATO and UN solders were in the US. Russia was very near to an economic collapse and hoped to avert this by swithching to a war economy. Together Russia and China attacked the US along with most of southeast asia. They begain by Nuking the american Cities and Europian capital. The Ameriacans untested starwars system largly remained intact and successfully blocked around 10 percent of the incoming missles. However, the Europian capitals were all destroyed. They cried out for vengance. Under the cover, Russian and Chinese troops quickly left to cross the pacific and reinforce the rebels.
The Europians cried out for vengance and nuked 10 russian and 15 chinease cities. An invasion of over 12 million europian solders of all nationalities then pured into Russian. Russia, even though a large portion of her troops overseas, still had a large population base, and even thugh she was poor, her economy was beginning to recover because of the massive industry the war economy requared. Armed by china until her weapons factorys got up to full production, she sent massive armies against the europians and they successfully halted the advance, reguardless of they're lack of training. They forced them back to the german border, and the europians threatined to nuke the russians again, but the russians pressed on. The Europians used the weapons on the 2 largest units in the assasult, and that halted them. THe russians were content with this, and they simply nuked Hamburg as a warning and set up a defensive peremiter in 2014.
In america many of the remaining cities had been captured. The war soon ended after the successful capture of the temporary capital of Denver COlorado, chosen because it was thought the mountans and cold air would hamper the american troops. However, it didn't halt the russians who were use to such weather and its unample, scrapped together defences fell quickly.
In exchange for they're help The greedy chinese armys wanted tribute, and the russians wanted money to convert they're rebuilt economy back to normal. The rebels were short on funds. BY this time the Asians had taken alot of damage and after six months of gurilla warfare and a nuclear attack on Bejing and the remans of moscow with captured nuclear weapons the Russians and CHinease pulled out.
THat ended world war three. It wrecked the economys of all nation's involved. The British mainframe was the only one left and was used to hold all of the countrys data and crashed. We managed to get several IBM 5100's and use them to restore it temprarly until other country's could rebuild they're own.
The powerlines are down, so we have mainly reverted to pre computer technology such as type writers and Ice chests. There is a community fridge where you may pick up your daily ration of ice for your own ice chest.
The great lakes were somewhat emptied and the water was used to clean up radiation. now all that water fills up all of Chenney mountain and several other nuclear waste sites. A mulitnational agreement was reached by the superpowers and they forced all small nuclear states to dismantle they're weapons and they' did so themself.
ANd then the disaster came. Factories closed since the loss of 4 billion people was alot of lost market. Banks were destroyed and fort knox was ransacked by rebels along with every other currency backup storage facility on the planet. It was quickly all seperated on the black market, making it impossible to recover. Whole countrys economys collapsed, taking the rest of the world with them.
ANd then came the rise of new feudalism and city states. The new pesant class emerged even in states where it formally hadn't existed, such as the united states. But instead of farming, they worked in factorys and were solders. Others farmed, ruled, ect. They pulled together the remains of each countrys militarys and fought amoungst themselves.
But unlike in both of our middle ages, develipment didn't stop, so this phase only lasted around 100 years. It ended with the invent of long distence space travel that could manage to get to alpha centuri in 6 months by using waves of gravity
We are all trying to find out what went on in the civil war, so we may better understand it. In the big picture we are trying to find out more about the second dark ages. All the records before it were generally burnt and new ones were burnt when warlord's found them. THey wanted to mantain tehy're control by keeping people from knowing about them being free in the past. When space travel was invented we traveled to the stars and discoverd societies that were much like the pre 2000 ones but of course more advanced. This information provoked a revolution and a reform back home. Time travel was accomplished a decade later and we began using it to research the past.
