HISTORICAL EVENTS

THE END OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR

Hitler is dead, Germany is divided, the generals are trialed. The war is over, so said the speaker.

ROSWELL INCIDENT

In 1947, a small, seemingly invulnerable crystalline object, best resembling a quartz crystal, smashed into the Earth from space, coincidentally in the same exact spot where the Project Mogul balloon train crashed down near Roswell, NM.

START OF GERMAN EXPULSION PROGRAMS

The USSR begins formally expelling Germans from Poland's newly acquired lands, the Sudetenland, the Memel/Klaipeda region, the Konigsberg/Kaliningrad region, and areas of Europe with German-dominated pockets like Romania and Hungary.

CONCLUSION OF GERMAN EXPLULSION PROGRAMS

Millions of German peoples have been expelled from their homes. However, due to the economic stress caused by attempting to move so many people, combined with German resistance to expulsion, has led to the expulsions not being particularly thorough, leaving large German populations in Poland and the Sudetenland. The USSR, disregarding the actual ethnic situation in Poland and Czechoslovakia, chooses to enforce the Oder-Neisse line and Czech borders on the DDR.

AREA 51 ESTABLISHED

Area 51 is established; as a top-secret base, it is assigned the duty of protecting the valuable quartz crystal space artifact from the Roswell incident.

EAST GERMAN UPRISING OF 1958

Discontent with their treatment under the rule of the standing Soviet governments (higher work quotas with the same pay, discrimination outside of E. Germany, etc), the East Germans, including those in Poland and Czechia, revolted against their government. The USSR responded by sending in their army and putting down the revolt in 1-2 weeks. If they had not, the East German government would have most likely been overthrown, and could have inspired other ethnic groups under the Soviet bloc to rise up as well.

ESTABLISHMENT OF ITA MAI TAI

In 1962, the United States establishes the Ita Mai Tai Submarine Research and Military Base, a top-secret submarine base and research center located within the Ita Mai Tai Seamount in the Pacific Ocean.

UNITED STATES ASTRONAUTS LAND ON THE MOON

Neil Armstrong becomes the first man to step on the moon, and the first man to step on another celestial body.

EXPLORATION OF MARS BEGINS

Humans begin sending probes to Mars to investigate the planet.

NEUBIOCAL FOUNDED

A private company from California called New Biotechnologies of California, often shortened to NEUBIOCAL, is founded. As one may expect, it focuses on bio-research, genetic engineering, and related fields. It begins to grow as the US government invests more money into its projects, especially bioweapon projects.

RONALD REAGAN DEAD

Republican presidential candidate Ronald Reagan dies on California's US-101, outside Los Angeles, after his limousine collides with a gasoline tanker that has crossed a temporary barrier between the highway's opposing lanes. This event ultimately sets into motion the chain of events that define Boiling World's 21st century.

CLIMATE CHANGE RECOGNIZED

Climate change is recognized worldwide. However, due to the technological and political limitations of the time, no adequate action can be taken against it.

JUPITER MYSTERY ORBITER

In late 1980, a large alien ship appeared in orbit around Jupiter. Upon its arrival, it tore itself into multiple pieces, but its largest piece retained a functional fusion reactor, allowing its lighting systems to continue to operate. Human telescopes were able to observe it to an extent, and using spectroscopy, it was determined to be made out of metal alloys. Humans began calling it the "Jupiter Mystery Orbiter," and later just "The Mystery Orbiter."

H.W. BUSH ADMINISTRATION

George H.W. Bush, Reagan's intended Vice President, wins in the 1980 election. Bush pursues economic policies similar to those associated with Reagan, including deregulation and tax cuts for wealthy individuals and businesses. The United States experiences a brief economic resurgence that benefits all social classes, but conditions subsequently begin deteriorating as corporations accumulate more influence and pursue greater profits.

NEUBIOCAL ACQUISITIONS

New Biotechnologies of California acquires unused missile silos, military complexes, and the Ita Mai Tai Submarine Research and Military Base from the US government during H.W. Bush's denationalization campaign in his first term. The corporation begins refurbishing and building on these sites to create ideal research complexes from them.

BOB DOLE IS ELECTED PRESIDENT

Bob Dole is elected president of the United States in 1988, taking office in 1989. Dole does not make many significant changes, besides investing into Amtrak, and renaming it to Pan-American Rail.

THE AMERICAN DECLINE WORSENS

The United States declines faster as Bob Dole does not take any significant action against the building socioeconomic crisis in the United States of America.

REVOLUTIONS OF 1990

The western regions of the European Eastern Bloc are experiencing a surge in liberal democratic movements, driven by widespread discontent with authoritarian rule and economic stagnation. These movements have resulted in the Eastern European nations withdrawing from the Warsaw Pact, causing it to disband. The vast majority of these nations undergo intensive Western-leaning liberal reforms soon after.

POLL TAX RIOTS LEAD TO DEMOCRATIC SHUTDOWN

In response to intense riots in response to Margaret Thatcher's Poll Tax, the UK government has suspended all democratic processes. Margaret Thatcher remains in power.

DESTRUCTION OF THE BERLIN WALL

The Berlin Wall, separating East Berlin from West Berlin, is destroyed. Unification negotiations begin between East and West Germany. Germans in Poland and Czechoslovakia revolt against their governments, attempting to gain Western backing; they are crushed by the armed forces of Poland and Czechoslovakia respectively.

EL COLOSO DE 1990

In 1990, a massive 9.4 magnitude earthquake nearly flattens Mexico City, and leads to the collapse of the United Mexican States into cartel regimes and the last bastion of the Mexican government in the Yucatan Peninsula. The United States intervenes in Mexico swiftly, securing much of Northern Mexico. Taxes on the lower and middle classes are raised significantly. Additionally, a massive amount of Mexican immigrants enter the United States after the disaster, introducing cheap labor for corporations in the US and making the competition for work even more intense.

LEIPZIG UPRISING

An uprising of people from all social classes, even defectors from the secret police, begins in Leipzig, and spreads rapidly across East Germany.

USSR NEARLY COLLAPSES; GORBACHEV DECENTRALIZES

The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics nearly collapses under Gorbachev in 1991. Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Georgia (except Abkhazia and South Ossetia) leave the USSR, followed by Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Moldova, between January and June of 1991. After stabilizing the Union, Gorbachev reforms it into the "Federation of Sovereign Socialist Republics" (FSSR), which is greatly more democratic and decentralized, granting the SSRs significantly more autonomy. Many new SSRs are established as well, such as the Karelian Sovereign Socialist Republic, Idel-Ural Sovereign Socialist Republic, Chechen-Ingushetian Sovereign Socialist Republic, Tuvan Sovereign Socialist Republic, Siberian Sovereign Socialist Republic, Buryatian Sovereign Socialist Republic, Yakutian Sovereign Socialist Republic, Abkhazian Sovereign Socialist Republic, Ossetian Sovereign Socialist Republic and the Far Eastern Sovereign Socialist Republic.

EURASIAN COLLECTIVE SECURITY ACCORD

The Federation of Sovereign Socialist Republics forms the Eurasian Collective Security Accord in 1991. The FSSR, Mongolia, Armenia, and Afghanistan are its founding members.

BRITISH POLICE FIRE ON RIOTERS AND PROTESTORS

British police forces all across the United Kingdom fire on rioters and innocent protestors for no apparent reason, leading to upwards of 1000 deaths and 2000 injuries. In response, the United States suspends British membership in NATO. The US also offers to station troops along the Northern Irish border in Ireland, which Ireland accepts.

NEUBIOCAL GOES INTERNATIONAL

NEUBIOCAL begins buying up assets in Europe, particularly in the Rhineland and Switzerland. They also purchase other corporations in order to extract wealth from multiple different industries at once.

MARGARET THATCHER, MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT EXECUTED BY GUNMEN AFTER BOMBING

After a car bomb explodes outside of the Palace of Westminster, 10 gunmen enter Westminster, using the element of surprise to enter and overwhelm security. They locate and fire on Margaret Thatcher, as well as multiple members of parliament, before departing.

NATO THREATENS DDR WITH MILITARY INTERVENTION

NATO threatens the East German government in October with potential armed intervention if the demands for reunification from the German citizens on both sides are not met within 1 month. They never act on the threat.

REUNIFICATION OF GERMANY

On December 24th of 1992, The two Germanies merge with each other. Germany stays in NATO, after NATO membership referendum shows support from East Germany.

REPUBLIC OF BAJA CALIFORNIA ESTABLISHED

The United States establishes an independent Republic of Baja California on January 2nd of 1993. It is a federal democracy formed to maintain the Baja California region and defend it from cartel intrusions without nearly as much of a US Army presence. The United States occupies all of Northern Mexico by this point.

YUGO WARS BEGIN

The Yugoslav Wars begin, following a chain of political events and claim disputes in Yugoslavia.

INTEGRATION OF CHIHUAHUA AND RIO GRANDE REGION

The United States expands their occupation of Mexico, but also makes the decision annex the Mexican state of Chihuahua, as well as a region dubbed the Rio Grande. Both are turned into Commonwealths, similar to Puerto Rico. State militias are used to control these regions. Sonora is handed over to Baja California.

SURVEY SAYS: STATE LOYALTY

A survey conducted in the United States shows that most Americans are loyal to their state rather than the Union itself, due to the socioeconomic struggles brought on by its recent actions in Mexico, as well as its economic mismanagement and prioritization of corporate interests overall. The belief that individual states can break away without a violent collapse is significantly more popular due to the USSR's survival of its own partial-collapse, making the idea of secession significantly more appealing to residents of states like California, Texas, and Florida.

PREPARATIONS FOR THE DISSOLUTION OF THE UNITED KINGDOM BEGIN

After ~2 years of discussion, the member nations of the United Kingdom begin preparing for their independence.

WHITE HOUSE VAN BOMBING

A van packed with explosives was driven onto the lawn of the White House before exploding. An unheard of group called the "Gulf Liberation Army" takes credit for the attack with an anonymous payphone call.

ISRAEL INVADES GAZA STRIP

The IDF, Israel's offensive armed forces, has been ordered to invade the Gaza Strip, an integral part of Palestine, illegally. President Clinton has called out this attack as illegal, but has refused to halt US aid to Israel due to its position as a major US ally near the FSSR.

THE COLOSSUS OF THE EAST HITS TOKYO

A 9.4 magnitude earthquake hit the Kanto Region at midday on May 4th. The major metropolitan area of Tokyo experienced the most damage, leveling many buildings before a 25 meter tsunami hit the Tokyo Bay Area. Most fires that had erupted from the initial shake were put out by the tsunami, but were ultimately restarted due to the aftershocks, of which there were many, that followed suit. The Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant, still under construction at the time, sustained significant damage. Luckily, as the plant was not operational, no nuclear disaster occurred. However, its activation timeline was indefinitely postponed. The Japanese government was forced to relocate to Osaka. Tens of millions have been displaced, and because of this, the ongoing Japanese housing vacancy crisis has been solved, and a new crisis in the form of a lack of housing has started. Individuals are now starting to emigrate from Japan, mostly heading to the Pacific Coast of the United States due to its history of Japanese immigration.

HANDOVER OF NORTHERN IRELAND

The United Kingdom hands over Northern Ireland to Ireland. IRA activity ceases in Northern Ireland.

UKRAINE GRANTED GREATER SOVEREIGNTY

The Ukrainian Sovereign Socialist Republic has been granted increased autonomy in response to the consistent desire for political independence and self-determination from the FSSR, former USSR, from Ukrainians. This new government has been given the name of "the People's Republic of the Ukraine."

BAJA CALIFORNIA REFUSES TO REJOIN UNITED MEXICAN STATES

Baja California has refused to rejoin Mexico, citing that its autonomy has benefitted it, its people, and its economy greatly.

ISRAEL OCCUPIES GAZA STRIP, PREPARES TO OCCUPY WEST BANK

The IDF has occupied the Gaza Strip, and is preparing an invasion and occupation force for the West Bank, the other part of Palestine.

GALILEO SPACECRAFT PHOTOGRAPHS MYSTERY ORBITER

NASA has published photos of the Mystery Orbiter. The photos are low quality but it is now extremely obvious to the public worldwide that the Mystery Orbiter is the wreckage of a large alien spacecraft, confirming the existence of, or at least the former existence of, intelligent extraterrestrial life.

MAO ZEDONG DEAD; DENG IN POWER

On the day before his birthday, Chairman Mao, at the age of 101, died in his sleep of a heart attack. Deng Xiaoping takes power.

STATE MILITIAS EXPAND IN GULF COAST REGION

The state militias of Texas, Florida, and Louisiana have started to expand massively for seemingly no reason at all.

PLA AND CIVILIANS FIGHT IN CHINA; CIVIL WAR

The People's Liberation Army is now fighting a massively disorganized armed civilian force on a nation-wide scale. Backed by American and some Soviet weapons, these revolutionaries advocate for anything from Western-style democracy to FSSR-style council democracy. Many consider this the beginning of the second modern Chinese Civil War.

DENG XIAOPING DEAD

HOUSING CRISIS IN US WORSENS RAPIDLY

Corporations begin buying up land, especially housing, turning their money into a stable asset. Landlords also begin constraining the amount of rentals they offer in order to artificially inflate prices and profit more from the rental "industry."

Y2K

As the world enters a new millennium, optimism about the future is low, as conflict and socioeconomic stresses grip the majority of the world. It seems like nobody has won the Cold War; the USSR reformed but has only been slowly growing and has remained isolated to trading with other ECSA members, the US is actively declining as corporations seek to suck the wealth out of everything and further subjugate the federal government, while individual states seeking self-determination and small civilian militias build up their forces in preparation for... something.
