History Channels : The Dawn of a New Age (AAR)
This is the story of Earth in one of its final eras.
An era of fire, an era of destruction, and the era we took back what was rightfully ours.
It was the era of rebirth, the era of great sadness, the era of pain, and the era of great joy.
It was a new age, it was the end of history, it was the era everything changed.
Hello, I am Peter Weller from the History Channel.
The is year 1836, and this is to be the story of the last century for many of nations of this world. Over the course of these next few weeks I'll be showing you all the highs and lows of this turbulent century, covering some history's greatest generals, politicians and scientists. You will see some bold new ideas come to light with just as many failed ideas. Although many records of this time period were lost in the following nuclear age, we do know a few things for certain.
First and foremost is China. A behemoth super power that steadily rose in power over the course of a few thousand years, while having just passed over line separating great powers from super power status.
While over the course of the next hundred years, China would preform a great many atrocities, it had yet to commit them yet in 1836. In fact in 1836 there was much great disagreement over what should be done about china. In the early years between 1836 and 1845 China had been proponent of stockpile mass quantities of small arms, artillery, as well as explosives. In addition they were known to be stockpiling other industrially strategic resources to slow there opponents.
In secret, China was preparing what would be the largest army the world had ever seen to date, an army numbering in the millions, including more artillery then he rest of the worlds armies and navies combined. Unfortunately political rivalries and distrust for one another prevented any real opposition to China until it was already too late.
How did the outcome of this first great war decide the future of the world?
Meanwhile half a world away, France was industrialization streak. By 1845 it had managed to produce my more modern equipment that other nation of the time period, no slow was in sight. Rumors even existed about a french ocean going steam powered ship that had sailed around the globe, showing casing the firm belief that the french were the masters of both technology and industry of day.
Little did the world know that french had other desires outside of realm of technological supremacy. Sure it is a well documented fact that France just a century earlier was an unstoppable military force, headed the by the worlds best generals, but in this era many believed France had turned a new leaf and was attempting to be far more peaceful than in its bloody past.
In the not so distant future France would be part of a great conflict that would decide the fate of all of continental Europa, Asia and Africa.
What path does France lead the world down?
Finally we come to the Americas, dominated by Italy and Norway, and a growing uneasiness over what little land remained unclaimed. Both powers hold stake to these valuable lands, lands that would later be the bread basket of their continent. Would this uneasy peace dissolve and open hostilities be declared?
Will China conquer all of Asia and More?
Will France have the diplomatic prowess to form a multinational coalition to stop this menace, or will it take part in the destructing of the civilized world? Will there be peace in North America or will it be East vs West for the next century?
All this and more answered next week.
