19th Century

  • 1812-1814: During the War of 1812, American forces were unsuccessful in attempts of invading British held Canada. In the Caribbean, a new front is opened up when American Marines successfully expel British forces in the Caribbean Islands and stubbornly occupy them during the course of the war. The Treaty of Ghent, signed in 1814, contained provisions declaring the Bahamas and Bermuda to be ceded the United States in perpetuity.

  • 1815: Following Napoleon's defeat and exile to the island of St Helena, France was subjugated by the British Empire and her allies. The Bourbon Monarchy was restored following the Congress of Vienna until it was toppled during the July Revolution, which established the Second Republic led by Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte.

  • 1848: The Revolutions of 1848 Revolutions that swept much of Europe saw the replacement of the Second Republic by the Second French Empire. Under the Empire, France would see its status as a great European power re-established, with the country continuing its colonial expansion in North Africa, the Pacific, and Southeast Asia.

  • 1853-1856: The Crimean War occurs. It ends with the signing of the Treaty of Paris on 30 March 1856. Russia returned the city of Kars to the Ottoman Empire, and Southern Bessarabia to Moldavia. Britain, France, Sardinia, and the Ottoman Empire returned the towns and ports of Sevastopol, Balaklava, Kamish, Eupatoria, Kerch, Jenikale, Kinburn, and other occupied territories to Russia. Both the Tsar and the Sultan agreed not to establish any naval or military arsenal on the Black Sea coast. The Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia were nominally returned to the Ottoman Empire, and the Austrian Empire ended their annexation and occupation of it. In practice, they became independent. The Ottoman Empire was admitted to the European concert, and the Great Powers pledged to respect its independence and territorial integrity.

  • 1861-1867: Unpaid debts by the Mexican Republic saw a French-British-Spanish invasion of the country in 1861, with the American Civil War making the US virtually unable to support Mexico's cause. Spain and the United Kingdom settled their debt payments with Mexico after several years, but France continued the campaign in hopes of creating a puppet state in the west. The Second Mexican Empire was established under Maximilian I in 1863, but it is dissolved in 1867 after French forces withdrew.

  • 1866: The North German Confederation is established.

  • 1871: The Confederation, along with the southern German states led by Bavaria, invaded France. The German alliance was victorious and led to the annexation of Alsace-Lorraine. The Second French Empire was dissolved as the Third Republic was established. The subsequent result would see birth of the Franco-German enmity, which would be formative in causing the French entry into the First World War.

  • 1875: France's conquest of Algeria was complete, with approximately 825,000 Algerians being killed as a result.

  • 1884: The Berlin Conference sees the European conquest of the African continent, with France leading the charge in controlling the Sahara and West and Central Africa.

  • 1898: In the later years of the Guangxu Emperor's rule, the Emperor was guided by reformers like Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao for drastic reform in education, military and economy under the Hundred Days' Reform. However, a coup launched by the Conservative Empress Dowager Cixi ejected Liang and Kang out of the Forbidden City, placing Guangxu under house arrest.

  • 1899: Following their ejection from the capital, Liang and Kang form the Emperor Protection Society in an attempt to foster constitutional reform by promoting the concept of "Resisting the Qing and restoring the Ming" - an idea that had been around since the days of the Taiping Rebellion.

1900-1949

  • 1900: The Qing cedes Kouang-Tchéou-Wan to France after ratifying a treaty in 1900 for a period of 99 years.

  • 1900-1901: The Boxer Rebellion occurs, leading to the invasion of the Qing by the Eight Nation Alliance. The Boxer Protocol is signed in 1901, forcing the payment of the Boxer Indemnity, destruction of the Taku Forts, foreign control of the Legation Quarter, and so on. The Qing court softened its resistance to constitutional reform, leading to a push for top-down reform.

  • 1906: The Franco-German rivalry peaked in Morocco, where Germany challenged French authority, displeasuring years of peace and balance between the two. Although resolved by the Algeciras Conference in 1906, the damage was already done, and the two nations were on edge. The Anglo-French Entente was enhanced soon after, and saw Russia officially entering the alliance to keep the power of the Germans in check.

  • 1911: A nationwide political protest movement against the Qing government's plan to nationalize local railway development projects and transfer control to foreign banks turns violent, spurring the Wuchang Uprising. The New Army staged a mutiny against the Qing government, leading to the end of Qing rule. The brief civil war that ensued was ended through a political compromise between Yuan Shikai and Sun Yat-sen. On 18 December, the North-South Conference was held with the intervention of six foreign powers. Tang Shaoyi and Wu Tingfang negotiated a settlement at the British concession, agreeing that Yuan Shikai would force the Qing emperor to abdicate in exchange for the southern provinces' support of him as the president of the Republic. After considering the possibility that the new republic might be defeated in a civil war or by foreign invasion, Sun Yat-sen agreed to Yuan's proposal to unify the country under Yuan Shikai's Beiyang government. On 29 December 1911, Sun Yat-sen was elected as the first provisional president. Zhang Jian drafted an abdication proposal for the abdication of Puyi. After being pressured by remaining Qing ministers, Puyi and Empress Dowager Longyu accepted Yuan's terms of abdication.

  • 1912: The new Republic was formally proclaimed in January 1, 1912.

  • 1918: Peace touches Europe at last, with Germany signing the armistice agreement with the Allies in the "Compiègne Wagon" in the Forest of Compiègne in France. Emperor Charles I of Austria gives up his absolute power, but does not abdicate. The Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (which later becomes the Kingdom of Yugoslavia) is proclaimed.
    The H1N1 influenza pandemic, also known as the Spanish Flu, erupts across the globe, first emerging from Haskell County in Kansas.

  • 1919: The Deutsche Arbeiterpartei (DAP), predecessor of NSDAP, is formed by the merger of Anton Drexler's Committee of Independent Workmen with journalist Karl Harrer's Political Workers' Circle. The Paris Peace Conference opens in France, with delegates from 27 nations attending for meetings at the Palace of Versailles. The Treaty of Versailles is signed, formally ending World War I.

  • 1929: The Wall Street Crash of 1929 occurs in the autumn of 1929, collapsing share prices on the New York Stock Exchange collapsed. The Crash was the most devastating stock market crash in the history of the United States, and signalled the beginning of the Great Depression. Personal income, tax revenue, profits and prices dropped, while international trade fell by more than 50%. Unemployment skyrocketed, halting construction in many countries. Farming communities and rural areas suffered as crop prices fell by about 60%.

  • 1930: While Chiang Kai-shek emerged as the paramount leader of the Republic following the death of Sun Yat-sen, the KMT splintered into different factions as there were internal disagreements and political divisions that persisted since its founding. A cascade of events leads to Yan Xishan demanding the resignation of Chiang from the KMT in February, which was refused. An anti-Chiang coalition was formed, with support of the Gui clique, Li Zongren, Wang Jingwei, Tang Shengzhi, and Zhang Fakui. Chiang's Central Army moved to attack the Guominjun, but was crushed by the end of May. Yan's Shansi Army followed through and delivered more damage to Chiang's forces, while Chiang's unsuccessful attacks elsewhere pushed Chiang to a defeat. Zhang Xueliang's Northeast Army declared support for Chiang and moved to pass through Shanhai Pass, but were faced by Zhang Fakui and Tang Shengzhi's armies. Zhang was concerned that further antagonisation of the Guominjun - which was backed by the Soviets - would lead to Moscow's intervention, leading Zhang to cease hostilities and ask for peace. Without added support, Chiang sued for peace, weakening the Nationalist government. Yan's alternative government in Taiyuan became the de facto central government of the realm, as the morale of the Chiang coalition no longer existed following the massive loss.

  • 1931: The Japanese Kwantung Army orchestrates the Mukden Incident, using it as a pretence to invade Manchuria. Zhang Xueliang's 100,000-strong Northeastern Army, which were forced to retreat south of the Great Wall into Yan's territories, were absorbed into the armies of the Taiyuan Government.

  • 1932: On 27 February, official resistance in Manchuria was ended, although combat by guerrilla and irregular forces continued as Japan spent many years in their campaign to pacify Manchukuo. Ma Zhanshan sought terms and joined the newly formed Manchukuo government as governor of Heilongjiang province and Minister of War. Pu Yi, Manchurian former emperor of the Qing, was remade emperor of the puppet state of Manchukuo by the resolution of an All-Manchuria convention at Mukden.

  • 1933: The Japanese attacked the Great Wall by orchestrating yet another incident to justify a military campaign. During this campaign, Japan successfully captured the province of Jehol from Yan's Taiyuan government, incorporating it into the newly created state of Manchukuo. Following a brief period of fighting, the Tanggu Truce was signed on May 22, creating a demilitarized zone extending one hundred kilometers south of the Great Wall.

  • 1936: In violation of the Treaty of Versailles and Locarno Treaties, Nazi Germany reoccupies the Rhineland in March. Neither France nor Britain was prepared for a military response, so they did not act. The 1936 Summer Olympics open in Berlin shortly after, marking the first time live television coverage of a sports event was used in world history. Hitler subsequently signs the Anti-Comintern Party with Japan.
    Construction of Hoover Dam is completed in the United States.
    In Asia, the Xi'an Incident occurred, as Chiang Kai-shek was detained by Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng in a move to force the Nationalist government to change its policies regarding Japan, the Taiyuan government, and the southern anti-Chiang warlords.
    Chiang's focus on fighting Yan and the CPC rather than the external threat of the Japanese agitated many, particularly young officers in Zhang Xueliang's army, who demanded Chiang be killed. Zhang had also cabled Mao that he was about to act, leading to Zhu De, Zhang Guotao, and others demanding his death. Mao proposed Chiang be put on trial, which went ahead; Chiang was tried, convicted, jailed, and stripped of his titles. Wang Jingwei and He Yingqin - two men notoriously known for being soft on the Japanese and unwilling to militarily oppose them - ascended into leadership of the Nationalist government, which was widely opposed by commanders such as Chen Jitang, Bai Chongxi, Li Zongren, Wang Jingguo, Zhao Chengshou, and Fu Zuoyi. Pressure forced a government reshuffle, leading the Taiyuan government to absorb the Nationalist government, which was rapidly losing support, with Yan as President of the Republic and Wang as Premier. Wang was forced to agree; the capital and its functions consequently relocated to Shansi. Following the incident, the Nationalists and the CPC aligned with each other against the Japanese. Yan agreed to end the conflicts against the CPC, and began actively preparing for the impending war with Japan.

  • 1937: Following the Lugou Bridge Incident, the conflict in the country escalated into a full-scale invasion. The Japanese scored major victories, capturing Peking, Shanghai, and Nanking in 1937, which resulted in atrocious war crimes such as the Rape of Nanking. After failing to stop the Japanese in the Battle of Wuhan, the Second Nationalist Government relocated to Chungking. Following the Sino-Soviet Treaty of 1937, strong material support helped the NRA and the Air Force continue to exert strong resistance against the Japanese offensive. The United Taiyuan-Nationalist-CPC alliance

  • 1939-1945: World War 2

  • 1945: The United States drops the atom bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, ending Japanese resistance in the Pacific and World War 2 as a whole. Islands that had been occupied during wartime, such as Micronesia, Palau, and Kiribati, remained under American occupation. Agreements were made with each of these individual nations so that they would be incorporated as U.S. Territories. The three island chains were granted representation in Congress, alongside a guarantee of American military protection and economic investment.

  • 1962: A political crisis adjacent to the Algerian War led to the dissolution of the Fourth Republic and the establishment of the Fifth. Charles de Gaulle returned to politics as the President, pursuing a policy of "national independence" towards the Western and Eastern blocs. He withdrew from NATO's military integrated command while remaining in the NATO alliance itself, launched a nuclear development programme to make France the fourth nuclear power, and restored cordial Franco-German relations to create a European counterweight between the American and Soviet spheres of influence. However, he opposed any development of a supranational Europe, favouring a Europe of sovereign nations.
    At the same time in Asia, the PRC defeats India in the Sino-Indian War, resulting in it asserting de facto control over the Aksai Chin.

  • 1964: The PRC conducts its first nuclear weapons test, labelled Project 596. It had a yield of 22 kilotons, comparable to the the USSR's RDS-1 and the American Fat Man. With the test, the PRC became the fifth nuclear power in the world.

  • 1978: General Secretary Leonid Brezhnev dies, leaving mixed feelings in the hearts of Soviet citizens. His inefficient chairmanship creates the prospect of a harsh economic slump within the USSR, as despite his success as a negotiator and a leader for the Communist Party, he proved a poor economic and social administrator and created a great distance between the Party and people. The future of the Soviet Union would be marred with growing resentment amongst the population towards their government as wages stagnated and the standard of living became comparable with the deprivation of the post-war era. Yuri Andropov, Brezhnev's successor, moved to liberalise sectors of the economy and allowing for cooperative firms, while increasing the state’s role in citizen’s lives. Industries were given significant freedom from quotas and control over their production and profit, with more attention being paid to the efficient placement of state subsidies and more direct communication between firms and consumer needs. He also began an intense top-down and bottom-up crackdown on corruption, helping clear the CPSU of self-interested bureaucrats.

  • 1979: In September 1979, People's Democratic Party General Secretary Nur Mohammad Taraki was assassinated under orders of his deputy Hafizullah Amin, souring relations with the USSR and prompting the deployment of the 40th Army across the border on Christmas Eve. Operation Storm-333 succeeds, killing General Secretary Amin and installing Soviet loyalist Babrak Karmal into power. Andropov further commits the USSR into Afghanistan, and with the support of Defence Minister Marshal Ustinov, he began a series of reforms to the Soviet Army, reducing its reliance on conscripts in fighting overseas wars. This allowed him to step up efforts against jihadists in Afghanistan via smaller and more efficient fighting units.

  • 1984: Vanuatu and Djibouti were both given the option to leave or to stay within the French Union. The two elected to stay, and were given overseas department status. Andropov dies from kidney failure, and is replaced by Konstantin Chernenko, although he too is hospitalised and subsequently replaced by Mikhail Gorbachev. At the time of Gorbachev’s appointment the still poorly addressed failings of the Soviet economy were becoming a serious crisis and the Central Committee’s ability to handle them was severely hampered by the unwillingness of regional party elites to comply with Moscow’s policies. He also exhibited a very unfamiliar kind of leadership from early in his tenure, largely due to his willingness and enthusiasm to seek relations with the general public, taking part in local clubs and fundraising activities while strolling on Moscow's streets and conversing with those who crossed his path. Following a nuclear scare, Gorbachev and Ronald Reagan established a cordial relationship, agreeing to meet to discuss nuclear disarmament.

  • 1985: Gorbachev began the process of withdrawing excess Soviet troops from Afghanistan, at first covertly and later openly after signing the 1988 Geneva Accord. The accord allowed the Soviet Union to partially renege on its earlier treaty with the Afghan Government on the grounds that Soviet troops were being employed in place of the Afghan Army to further Afghan interests at the cost of regional stability. This treaty also officially ended the CIA’s financing and supplying of Mujaheddin fighters, although it continued secretly. The ensuing reduction in Soviet prestige led to a falling out between Gorbachev and several reformist warhawks that had emerged under Andropov, but a few were appeased by promises of future changes in doctrine. The accords were lauded across the West and certain Eastern Bloc nations for their progress towards eventual peace, even though they resulted in a great deal of animosity between the Afghan Government and the Soviet Union.

  • 1986: A series of polls conducted throughout 1986 found that a vast majority of Soviet citizens viewed the continuation of the Union positively, though they held a great resentment for the current conduct of the government. In response to this and the growing economic crisis, several economic reforms were instituted, reminiscent of those implemented in the PRC. Agriculture was decollectivised and the USSR opened up to foreign investments by allowing the ruble to be converted. Limited Special Economic Zones were established. Reformed agriculture programs allowed farmers to effectively privately own their land and produce, so long as a portion was sold to the state. Similar to this, SOEs were permitted to sell any goods produced in excess of government quotas, allowing goods to be sold both at their planned value and at market value. Together, these massively improved output in the agriculture and industrial sectors, proving to be hugely popular among citizens. Increasing public support for Gorbachev occurred in this period, but attempts to sabotage Gorbachev continued for some time within the party. One of the methods considered to avoid sabotage was the opening of local elections and returning political power to the people, who were trusted to support the reformists.
    A second wave of reforms permitted the establishment of worker coops and encouraged entrepreneurship along similar lines to what had been seen previously in the industrial sector. Loans were granted to budding entrepreneurs under the condition that they became CPSU members, creating officially state-owned businesses that functionally existed in a private market. Gorbachev further decentralises authority, delegating economic planning to loyal regional officials and granting them more leeway.
    Decentralisation also assisted greatly in the containing and cleanup of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, which resulted in the deaths of several workers and firefighters. While no Central Committee members were found to be directly at fault for the disaster, the actions of several elite party members were found to equate with criminal negligence and several were imprisoned. The corruption found to be involved in the event resulted in the reintroduction of several authoritarian measures originally taken under Andropov. Necessary modifications and improvements were made to numerous other nuclear power plants over the next 10 years.

  • 1988: The Dongfeng Emperor and Gorbachev started tonormalise relations in order to better both nations. Gorbachev also made efforts to reconcile with the West and the USSR, and the many diplomatic meetings held between Gorbachev and Reagan affirmed that no “hot” war would take place.

  • 1989: The fall of the Berlin Wall led to the collapse of the Eastern Bloc, as many Warsaw Pact states partook in free elections and emerged as independent states. The ruble was ravaged by inflation repeatedly and job losses due to privatisation created discontent in certain groups, though much of this proved manageable and eventually reversible. Soviet economic efficiency slowly began to climb as private enterprise took up an increasing percentage of GDP and as foreign investors trickled into Moscow, Vladivostok and Leningrad. Inefficient SOEs were increasingly sold into private hands after 1989. Amidst these reforms Gorbachev and his allies covertly drafted a revised Union treaty to replace the 1922 USSR Treaty of Establishment. This treaty would reform the USSR as the Union of Eurasian Sovereign States, which would further alter the power structure of the Soviet Union. The UESS would give each of the States involved full control over their own affairs, though their militaries and strategic policy would be unified under a common President. This would also allow current member states to opt out of the treaty and pursue their own independence, in order to ensure current secessionist movements did not spill into violence.

  • 1990: Gorbachev's proposal to sign a revised Union Treaty proved hugely unpopular with the Central Committee hardliners when presented in mid-1990, but Gorbachev's majority allowed it to be approved for revision by the Supreme Soviet. Throughout the next year additions were made and clauses were added as the treaty was viewed and altered by successive leaders from each SSR. The increased autonomy, mixed with earlier economic reforms made the treaty highly attractive to many Party leaders. However, Gorbachev's detractors within the Party made passing any amendment difficult and progress was slow. Gorbachev and Kazakh leader Nursultan Nazarbayev began arranging to dislodge the powers of the CPSU from the apparatus of the State, empowering the Supreme Soviet and Council of Ministers to the detriment of CPSU bodies. This measure was approved by the Supreme Soviet and Central Committee, as being more in-line with Leninist approaches to government.

  • 1991: In an attempt to break the deadlock posed by hardliners, Gorbachev announced a democratic referendum, based on a 1989 poll which suggested that the general public would be more receptive of the treaty than the conservative-minded CPSU. Orthodox and purist elements of the CPSU started to organise themselves, angered with the apparent loss of status for the USSR and with Gorbachev's efforts seeming to them like treason, eventually culminating in an attempted coup against Gorbachev in August. The previous year the hardliners formed the State Committee on the State of Emergency by these figures, under the pretence that they would take control of the USSR if a state of emergency was declared. Among their number were the Interior Minister and the Deputy Head of the KGB, as well as six other senior officials, who unlawfully called for a state of emergency while Gorbachev was on vacation, claiming that his actions were dangerous required a drastic response. Under this pretence, they seized much of Moscow, using Interior Ministry troops to seize vital areas of the city.
    This bid for power failed due to civilian disruptions of Interior Ministry units involved, which were held back by protests led by Moscow Party executive Nikolai Ryzhkov. Soviet Army units stationed around Moscow had also refused to accept the Emergency Committee's efforts to gain their support. A standoff between the Internal Troops and the Soviet Army culminated in a brief firefight near the Kremlin where the Interior Ministry troops were forced to surrender. KGB officers, many still loyal to Gorbachev, had the Gang of Eight taken into custody as they attempted to enter Gorbachev's dacha later that day. Gorbachev declared any and all actions of the State Emergency Committee null and void and part of a reactionary coup against the Soviet Union. The perpetrators were tried and 2 were sentenced to death, along with 12 KGB officials and 4 Internal soldiers. The actions of the Committee marked a change in Gorbachev's attitude towards the CPSU and a growing unwillingness to accept dissent within it.

  • 1992: The Gaullist elements of France remained in power long after de Gaulle's presidency had ended. France signs the Maastricht Treaty - which creates the European Union - but refuses to join the Eurozone, instead preferring to maintain monetary and economic independence from the Union.
    The aftermath of the 1991 coup effectively ended opposition to reform within the CPSU and weakened the Party's structures, allowing Gorbachev's allies to move more freely. Gorbachev relaunched his previously planned referendum, passing with 84% of the vote and being ratified by the Supreme Soviets of each Republic. By this time public support for the CPSU was slipping, even though support for Gorbachev and his immediate allies remained considerable. This eventually led to Gorbachev founding his own party, known at first as the Eurasian Social Democratic Alliance, but after subsuming other parties it eventually changed its name to the All-Union People's Front (Vsesoyuznyy Narodnyy Front, VNF). The VNF presented itself as a merger of reformist, nationalist and socialist values, fielding large numbers of Gorbachev's allies and associates within the CPSU, followed by support from NGOs and businesses. The CPSU declared this a flagrant disregard for the laws of the USSR and claimed Gorbachev's continued governance was illegitimate. Taking the chance afforded to him by this, Gorbachev and his allies chose to announce the beginning of democratic elections at the Union level, forcing the CPSU to accept the outcome if they wished to retain legitimacy. The ensuing 1992 election resulted in an overwhelming victory for the VNF, and a series of political reforms were undertaken to slowly democratise the government.
    The approval of the Union Treaty referendum followed soon after, allowing the Baltic states to officially leave the Union. Ukraine declared its independence around the same time, though disputes over referendum results in Crimea caused a brief conflict in that region. The official establishment of the Union of Eurasian Sovereign States was declared in December 1992. The economy of each member state saw a considerable boost during this period and the periods of high inflation seen in the preceding years ceased to be a major concern.

  • 1994: The emergence of Chechen secessionists along the border with newly-independent Georgia pushed the UESS into conflict, as the burgeoning state was unwilling to allow any further damage to its territorial integrity following massive losses of land in 1992. The newly reformed Eurasian Army was sent in to handle them, just as it was beginning to recover from years of budget cuts and personnel losses. The conflict was disastrous for the under-prepared and over-confident Eurasians, with the Chechens causing significant casualties. The war ended after a year and a half of gruelling guerrilla warfare and stagnant conflict around Grozny, the Chechens forcing their way into de facto independence.

  • 1996: Just prior to elections that year, Gorbachev resigns. VNF leadership is passed off to Yevgeny Primakov and Anatoly Lukyanov.

  • 1999-2000: Primakov launches a new invasion of Chechnya, with the Eurasian Army led by a new generation of post-Soviet commanders utilising far more cautious and harsh tactics. The conventional conflict was successful after a siege of Grozny through the winter of 1999-2000 and repeated bombings of militant strongholds.

21st Century

  • 2002: Government assets from the UESS were further privatised while Premier Primakov declared that the free market was to be a “vital component to the future of the Union”, finally acknowledging the influence of the private sector in future Eurasian success. Efforts were made to decrease the inefficiencies of those sectors of the economy still largely under government control, such as housing and healthcare. Reforms aimed at privatising parts of the banking sector saw some successes, although the Lukyanov-Primakov era was marred by increased corruption and a decrease in Moscow's ability to influence regional leaders, resulting in instability and even minor rebellions. Popular KGB chief and director of operations in Chechnya Aleksandr Pudovkin, who succeeded Lukyanov in 2000, emerged as a central figure, helping unify much of the party leadership.

  • 2004: The island of Mayotte separates from the French Fifth Republic.

  • 2013: The establishment free-trade amongst the Commonwealth of Independent States allowed special and unique relationships to be formed with many of the former Soviet Republics, pushing the former Soviet states to grow closer to the UESS.
