PRESS THE GREEN FLAG TWICE!!! This is a prequel project to my rp, "A New World." This animation will show the events of the Continent from 1850 to 1936, which is when the rp starts. NOTE: ALL events are fictional, although there are some events inspired from human history. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ AGES EXPLAINED: Briktorian - Starting in the 1830s, it would be considered the golden age of the Briktes Empire. Being the first major empire to venture from the Continent, it would colonize far-away lands and grow past its rivals. Further growth would be caused by the First Industrial Revolution, allowing for mass exploration. This age would result in the mapping of the whole world. Second Industrial Revolution - With colonies bringing resources to the Continent, trade boomed and a second industrial revolution occurred. The Treklan Empire capitalized from this, fueling their empire, while the USV used this to recover from the costly war with Vazenor. The collapse of Volkra would be fueled from industrial growth as the USV and Vulkruds funded the separatists. This economic revolution resulted in more globalized trade and the development of more electric machines. War of Allegiance - The expansionist Treklan Empire would reach its peak in this age. Going to war with Prosklen led to a domino effect that brought the Briktes Empire into the war. Promises of greatness led the Trukren Empire and Vazenor to join the Treklans, which would eventually drag the USV and the Vulkruds into the war. The previous industrial revolution allowed a new age of warfare to develop, with new machines and tactics proving old ways obsolete. The "Big Three" of the First Coalition would defeat the Treklans after 9 years of war. By 1922, the war was lost and the Treklan King surrendered. Collapse of the Treklan Empire - As the Treklan Empire was redrawn, the Grosten Empire and the Kroskvaniks took over the spoils. The creation of several new nations during the Treklan Civil War led to the formation of the Security Pact of '24 between newly-founded states. This pact would fall apart after Grosten invasion and the intervention of the New Republic. Meanwhile, the new Volkest States and the Krollvas Confederacy would continue their conflicts while being sponsored by the Vulkruds and the USV, respectively. Roaring Thirties - A new era of "peace," tensions, and prosperity would begin, with new technological inventions causing economic growth in the USV and a huge boom in the New Republic. The crumbling Treklan Union would continue its decline while radical powers like the PRK (the official state name of the Kroskvaniks) and the Grosten Empire begin to expand their influence rapidly. Though peace has returned, nothing is guaranteed, and the world remains divided. Why, hello there. If you read all of that, congrats to you! This was an interesting project to create, and will be the prequel for my rp. I look forward to seeing you in this new world, whether for the better or for the worse. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Credits: Music - Hoi4 and Scratch projects Radio sfx - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNeT1ysvSn4 The rest was modified or made by me.
