The Art of War in The Old World: A Timelapse

[Taterthomp2]

I don't think you understand the butterfly effect. The USA should not exist 999 times out of 1000 diverging from the year 1444 A.D. Neither should Rev. France or many other events. These are only given a slide since only few people grasp the concept of true alternative plausible history.

To draw a modern analogy, if Al Gore got elected as American President in 2000 instead of Bush, there would probably be no European Union, Ebola outbreak, iPhone, or many other modern topical entities. What is extrapolated from there draws infinite outcomes. Even if you decide to place your left foot even a fraction of a degree away in another direction, it causes a chain of reaction that leads to infinite change and outcomes over time. This change also melds with all the innumerable actions happening in the universe at any time.

Um... Why no iphone?

Do you know that the EU has existed since 1993 in its current form, and economic unions predate that? Al Gore being president would have had no effect on something which happened 7 years before.

The butterfly effect, though, is real. From a 1444 start, such events as the French revolution should be far from certain.

France in SWEDEN AND FINLAND?!
I've seen the "BBB" before, but that is ridiculous!
Japan seemed to be the most historical in this game. Humhum.
