The Draka books are very good sceince fiction We all love to hate or hate to love the draka but the draka timeline is very unrealistic.improbable so heres a more realistic stab at it with less impossibilities than stirlings.
Colonization to the american revolution
1651-The south african cape is discovered by the dutch
1652-Cape colony established as a settler colony where the local natives are enslaved and slaves brought in from west africa when slave raids aren't enough.
1653-the dutch throw the spanish out of modern day belgium and luxemberg -the city of mulweeno(OTL's New Orleans) founded by
the french and esblished as the capitol of louisiana-hashish and cannibis are introduced to british north america by a
british soldier who served as a mercenary in tripoli for 10 years
1654-1779-Minority protestent groups and the french hugenors escape persecution by fleeing to the Dutch Cape Colony and other
destinations. Dutch Cape Colony population enlarges quickly, and becomes a major stopping point for British, French and Dutch
ships traveling between Europe and India, the East Indies, China and the Japans. The Dutch maintain a reputation as fair yet shrewd traders, but only a relative handful of pioneers relocate to the Cape Colony as colonists; most are there to make a fortune at trade and then return home. By the time of British occupation, Dutch population is almost 40,000 with almost 60,000 slaves working slave plantations. The Cape colony is a dumping ground for undesriables and convicts. In contrast most of the Spanish Sephardic Jews and other minorites seeking religious freedom go to british north america intead.
1654: The capable administrator but bigot Peter Stuyvesant denies admission to New Amsterdam to 56 radical calvinists. The Directors of the Dutch West India Company condemns Stuyvesant but suggest the calvinists go to Cape Town instead. The East India Company is trying to build up Cape Town, and isn't picky about who settles there at the moment if they're convicts or revolutionaries. The die is cast, making the southern tip of Africa a combination of dumping ground for undesirables and burgeoning trading stop for the next 130 years.
1654-1778-hardcore calvinists and english fundamentalists go to british canada or cape colony instead of british north america.
1700-Cannibis and hashish are introduced to british north america by traders
1729: Danish East India Company chartered.
1760: French ousted from India. George III is King of England.
1762-french give up canada and the ohio river valley to the british. Britian gives belize to spain in exchange for britian getting spanish florida.
1763: Proclamation Line of 1763 sets boundaries of 13 original British colonies east of the Appalachians
1776-The United States of North America declares independence from britain
-when shipments of gunpowder in bermuda and the bahamas meant to aid the rebels are discovered which causes the british to punish the locals which sparks rebellion.
1780- The Anti-Catholic Gordon riots in London. Many Catholic Churches are attacked, along with the Bank of England, King's Bench Prison, Newgate Prison and Fleet Prison. One group in the riots attack and burn the home of Robert Hindmarsh, a follower of Swedenborg and a future founding father of the Spiritualist movement in England.
1783-Treaty of paris grans the USNA the 15 colonies that revolted and jamaica and all signatories are to recognize the USNA
1786–95: Rapid growth of Drakian economy and population, export trades established in raw materials (diamonds, gold, copper, sugar, wool, salt, hides, ivory) and slaves. Growth of Drakian shipping, expansion of several British shipbuilding concerns to Drakia as a stop in itself or on the route to India and beyond. External slave trade exists but is dwarfed by imports for internal usage. Even so, British disapproval of slave trading and slavery begins to mount. The dwindling Drakian popular disapproval of use of slaves takes on character of "loyal opposition" in face of perceived inability to function economically without them. Colonial government establishes Transportation Directorate to centrally plan and manage building of roads to mines and interior settlements, first ownership of slaves by a modern government entity. Drakians elide "Cape Town" to "Capetown."
-America quickly finds problems with the Articles of Confederation, and there is little internal debate as a Constitution is adopted. It includes a Bill of Rights, and one portion that carefully explains the duties of citizens to contribute to the common defense by militia or naval service. Congress lavishly funds West Point as an educational and training institute for military officers, with an emphasis on engineering, artillery and leadership, and Annapolis to a similar extent for the officers of a small standing professional navy. A very small standing army is authorized, almost entirely posted to frontier forts, with call-up of the large state militias only by approval of Congress and the individual states, although state and territorial governors can call on the militia for local emergencies. The chief use of horses is for fast movement in battle which results a strong cavalry in the American armed forces. To address the problem of religious pacifism, the Quaker Legions are formed. These do non-combatant duties or public works (some regular militia do these as well) under the direction of engineers. A monetary exemption, deliberately set high at 1/2 the annual pay of a hired farm laborer, is also put in place for those medically unable to train; this becomes a refuge for rich men who don't want to dirty their hands or even become part-time officers. But the relatively low demands on the time of those who do serve let nearly every free man vote. Compromise on representation results in voting being reserved only to male war veterans and current militia members, but there is a growing list of exemptions. Census every 10 years mandated for reapportionment of Representatives, based on total male population over 18, excluding "slaves and other bondservants," which is only proportional to who can vote before immigration becomes a factor. Monthly militia training days often become community holidays, as families come out to the field to watch. After several disastrous losses to Indians in the Northwest Territory (Ohio), the appointment of militia officers is by a panel of Army officers from a pool of local candidates ("the Captains' Walk"), instead of as a local political perk.
-a policy of giving indians citizenship and assimilating them is instead of expelling them is adopted
1787: Final 3 states ratify USNA Constitution. The state (i.e. national ceremonial) flag of the United States becomes 16 small gold stars in a horseshoe pattern surrounding a white scroll reading "We the People", with the white caption "1776 Independence" below, on a field of blue bordered on left and right by vertical red and white bars. The "Star and Stripes" battle (and civil) flag drops the complicated imagery, and has just a single large gold 5-pointed star in the middle of a blue field, between red and white bars. Both flags are in 5:8 proportions, 1/4 width red and white bars. The heraldic symbolism of red (war) being closer to the hoist than white (peace) is unintentional but prophetic.
-Vermont is given statehood in a backroom deal which ensure the ratitication of the consitution by it.
-Ceylon taken by british and put under Drakian governance
-the system for elections is made as a proportional representation
1788: Colonel Freiherr Augustus von Shrakenberg retires, receives 20,000 acre land grant under Maluti Mountains, South
Interior province (Lesotho). He marries Alexandra Hugeson, of a New Jersey Loyalist family
1791: Castle Tarleton built overlooking York (Pretoria, South Africa); initially a border fortress, later headquarters of the War Directorate Supreme Staff. Island of Zanzibar seized as trading outpost and stopping point on coastal route to India.
Free population exceeds 150,000 and slave population nears 600,000.
-A year and a day after buying it from New York, the Erie Triangle is sold by the federal government to Pennsylvania for $1, to give it access to Lake Erie. District of Columbia established as a federal territory from parts of Virginia and Maryland.
-the pneumetic rifle inventd in the USNA
1792: Universities of Capetown, Virconium, and York founded. Anglican bishoprics established in Capetown and Virconium. Local freeman militia puts down first serious slave revolt in Drakia. Angus McGregor patents improved ("cylindro-conic") rifle bullet.
-Toussaint L'Ouverture begins leading free blacks and slaves in slave uprisings and war against French and British on island
of Hispaniola (Haiti and Saint-Domingue).
-Denmark abolishes slave trade, but not slavery. This has little effect, as the Danish East India Company is a late-starting
minor player in India.
-Kentucky split from western Virginia, and admitted as a state; one star placed in white bar of USNA state flag.
1794: Richard Trevithick arrives from Cornwall to work as the steam engine supervisor for a mine near Whiteridge.
-First use of a tethered balloon for battlefield observation.
1795- Parliament approves a law allowing the government to imprison without trial anyone who criticizes its policies. A food riot in London again damages Robert Hindmarsh, as the meeting house of the Spiritualist sect is burnt to the ground in the chaos. He and his followers will leave for America, seeing nothing but danger and oppression in Britain. They will settle in Indiana.
-The Spiritualists in Indiana will convert a large number of Miami Indians and settlers alike. Their ideas of Astrology, Reincarnation, and Mediumship are accepted by the Indians, and a number of settlers who feel like they are missing something
in life. Spiritualist sects will pop up across America, mostly along trade centers in the frontier, but sometimes in places like Charleston, Baltimore and New York
1799–1802: First local industries (iron-works, machine shops) started in Drakia as the French wars render imports uncertain. Cotton becomes a major crop. Several thousand more French Royalists immigrate to Drakia. Militia Act establishes peacetime conscription, mandatory yearly training, and reserve service to age 50.
1800-a desperate russia in exchange for britian's aid against napoleon sells all of russian north america to britian
-Napoleon renames the louisina territory Napoleona
-Black republics of Cuba,Santo domingo and haiti set up after revolts
1801-High-pressure steam engine perfected by Trevithick.
1802-Vandalia terretory set up(southern illinoisee)
1805-a plan is established where the drakian government is chosen from the colonial assembly.
-landholder guilds set up
-Brotherhood of the lash formed
1807-The economies of scale and financial support by Drakian landholder councils, along with the standards set by the
Brotherhood of the Lash, encourage the aggregation of small industrial concerns into the first Combines. The Ferrous Metals Combine and others soon become the most efficient way of supplying the standardized demand, in large quantities, of the various settler plantations, government directorates and powerful AM&M Company.
1808: First steam "drags" (road engines towing wagons) and ocean-going steamships. -Cuba conquered by USNA after fears of slave revolts are spread 1808–11: US Army Engineer Corps detachments sent out with Army escort to survey the Louisiana Purchase and inform the natives of their new status. Several encroachments by the British are discovered, most noticeably several forts on the west shores of some Great Lakes. These, and impressment of American sailors by the British Navy, lead to the "War of 1812". -The various native kingdoms of madagasca are conquered by british drakia
1809: Illinois Territory split off from Indiana Territory. This will later become the states of Illinois, Wisconsin, and part of Minnesota.
1810: Drakian capital moved from Capetown to Archona, at request of the Colonial Assembly and the first "native" Governor.
-Portugal accepts reality of Drakian encroachment on their colonies, and a substantial payment in gold and diamonds from
Drakia, and hands over control of their colonies.
-the US now claims the Oregon Country (Oregon and Washington) from Britain, and some areas around the 49th parallel. Along with the continuing unresolved claims for the northern borders of the New England states and New York, and the discovery of several British forts in Illinois Territory, tension is increasing with Canada and Britain.
1812- The battle along the Mississinewa River between the Miami Indians the American soldiers does not happen because of the friendly relationship between the Miami Indians and the Spiritualist settlers in the area. Descendants of Miami Indians will make up a large population of Indiana throughout history, almost all being Spiritualists. Missionaries from the Spiritualists will attempt to convert the other Indian tribes of the Northwest, with less success. Those that do are usually viewed as second class citizens, despite having converted to a Christian faith. Traitors to their own tribes and still savages to the non-Spiritualists.
1811–14: War of 1812. American militia led by professional officers invade British North America in a lighning campaign(Canada), with engineers from West Point in support to build field fortifications and rebuild captured forts. American naval forces maintain supply lines across the Great Lakes, and win several stunning victories in Lake Erie, but in the open sea are less successful against the experienced Royal Navy. In open-field battles, Americans separate British and Indian forces by using woodsmen and snipers to consistently lure Indians into massed rifle and cannon fire, and then defeat them in detail, leaving the British troops at a significant disadvantage. British naval blockade results in start of American emphasis on industrial self-sufficiency and expansion of New England manufacturing, genesis of interchangeable parts in assembly of rifles. British raids on Baltimore, Washington, Boston and New Orleans only serve to inflame American public opinion and discredit Federalists who seek peace. Lack of American Loyalists in Canada, and collaboration of French Québécois with Americans are also to blame for American occupation of Upper Canada and Toronto, Lower Canada (Québec), and all of New Brunswick along with the maritimes. British exchange perpetual most-favored-nation status and mutual tariff reduction with America for an embargo against napoleon's europe. The British withdraw from positions threatening Buffalo and New Orleans; the position at Baltimore had to be abandoned due to relentless militia infiltration and sniper attacks. The issue of trade with France is deliberately left unresolved, but increased trade with Britain more than compensates America for giving up support of Napoleon's Europe.
1811: Pauly patents first cartridge breech-loading rifle.
1812: Orleans Territory becomes the state of Napoleona. 4th gold star added to white bar on USNA state flag.
1813: British East India Company loses its monopoly of the Indian trade, but administrative functions continue.
1815: America writes in further exemption for militia service for professional law enforcers (sheriffs, etc.), and the "Sullivan Rule" to prevent more than 3 close relatives from serving in the same unit. This rule stems from an incident where one British cannonball killed 2 brothers outright, and the other 2 die trying to reach them, leaving the elderly Sullivan parents with no heirs
1816-the british sells the lands of british north america and their carribean possesions to the USNA as part of the treaty of ghent for 20,000,000.
1817: Drakia free population passes 300,000 with the slave population being four times that. Founding of Diskarapur (Newcastle, South Africa) and Shahnapur (Maputo, Mozambique). Trade with India produces British and Drakian fad for Persian/Moghul artwork. Drakian settlers begin encroaching on Portuguese territory nearby (Mozambique and Angola), culminating in de jure control of all established Portuguese ports by 1810
