Help with the 19th century

[Reichenfaust]

Hello everyone. I need help for my Stargate TL. I would like to first ask for a little help in several different categories.

1-Industrial Revolution(both of them)

2-Politics of Napoleonic-Victorian age, and popular figures of the day

3-Medical Technology- Plants, practices, revolutionary processes

4-Science/Inventors- Important scientists, inventors, idealists, and the works

5-Military Forces in the US, politics, and how badly the British could maul the US if they could direct their full land forces on them.

6-Victorian/Napoleonic age heroes, writers, villains, horrors, and most of all philosophers.

4: Sorry, don't know much about. Just the basics.

5: The Brits could have defeated America easily if they so desired. But resistance would make British occupation almost impossible.

Hope I helped some!

Definitely Cap'n Nemo!

*headslaps self* Agh! I totally forget Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde!

[Reichenfaust]

Any more League of Extraordinary Gentlemen villains and heroes?

What about foreign works in that period?

[Reichenfaust]

For industrial revolution(s), I would like to know what kind of natural resources the states of the world posses and how they can be used.

[Hrvatskiwi]

Industrial processes were needed for the industrial revolution, so the most important resources were ones needed for those processes. Coal is probably #1, iron is up there, pretty much any metal really.

Also, for literature, there's also anything by Jule Verne (I think he was near the end of the period you're talking about.

Look up Henry Fox Talbot and Charles Babbage for example
