African American voters lining up to vote in the first ever American democratic national election in over 30 years. This marked the end of the 33 year MacArthur dictatorship and would precipitate the American transition to a democratic state once again.
​
Douglas MacArthur's dictatorship was first formed in 1936 when he took over the government in response to the victory of Chairman Jack Reed of the Socialist Party of America. This remains controversial to this day. The move would be the catalyst for the Second American Civil War that ended with a victory for MacArthur. The general dissolved the military junta in late 1939 and replaced it with a 2 party dictatorship, fought between the American Unity Party (Douglas' party) and the New Federalist Party, first formed by General Omar Bradley but was led by Dwight Eisenhower in its later successive years. The AUP won almost all the elections in the 2 party dictatorship systems, sweeping the 1940, 1944 and 1946 Elections. The leadership of the NFP finally decided that if they were to win, they had to accept the stance of a democratic transition, which many Americans supported but are suppressed from doing so by the regime.

The now reformed United Kingdom supported the idea of the re-establishment of American Democracy, and placed its support behind the New Federalist Party. General Eisenhower had also initiated his plan in a time where MacArthur was old and weak to effectively rule the country (note that he was 89 years old when he finally decided to concede). While MacArthur was still the leader, most affairs were now being handled by Vice President JE Hoover and the United States Congress. The New Federalists took the advantage and ran on a platform that supported the transition to democracy. The 1969 election was the first US Election in 33 years, and was marked as a memorable feat. Eisenhower won the Presidency against a desperate JE Hoover. MacArthur convinced Hoover to give up and accept the results, and the former handed over the presidency. There ended the 33 year dictatorship of Douglas MacArthur.​

The Faces of Gotham by photographer James Olsen

Among the many well known faces seen in the Red Light district of Gotham, the sex worker Selina Kyle was a slow talking, sharp tounged woman.
Following the riot dubbed the "Battle of Gotham" she and a fellow sexworker by the name of Holly Robinson would leave on a trip to Europe... It is
worth mentioning how following this, there would be sightings of "The Catwoman" in Paris, France, where she was said to've been visiting...

Seen above is the before mentioned Holly Robinson, who I mostly remembered making crude jokes and looking after the cats that she and Selina Kyle
owned, which there were more than plenty of. Her relationship with Selina Kyle was an odd one, though it appeared mostly to be maternal or sisterly.

During my interviews, the infamous police Commissioner Gillian B. Loeb was less than cooperative, even down right hostile at times, despite the
fact that he knew damn well what he was getting himself into. He was a crude and vulgar older man, one who abused his powers, and was said to
have been in the pocket of organised crime, a fact that... He'd retire following the Battle of Gotham, after scarring from an encounter with Arthur.

On the opposite side of the spectrum, lieutenant Jim Gordon was a far more likeable individual, the image above depicts the beat cop during the
Battle of Gotham as it dwindled to an end, during which he was ushering civilians to safety, around the same time as the emergence of a vigilante
known as "The Batman"... Long after the fact, I would soon meet Detective Jim Gordon, who had long expressed interest in becoming a detective.​

U.S President Theodore Roosevelt (1913-1921) in Richmond, Virginia on November 11th, 1919, on the day that World War One (1915-1919) came to an end, resulting in the surrender of the Entente Powers, including the Confederate States of America. Theodore would famously come face to face with Confederate President Woodrow Wilson (1913-1919) after the surrender of his nation and say "It seems that God has not come to save your land this time." The CSA and Ottoman Empire, in particular, would face considerable punishment for the discriminatory actions during the war, the CSA for provoking attacks against their African American (second class) citizens via fearmongering and propaganda, and the Ottomans for their near-genocidal treatment of Greeks, Assyrians, Kurds, and most infamously, Armenians, which caused the latter to be thoroughly punished post-war with large portions of territory granted to the aforementioned ethnic groups and their homelands, while the former would lose Sequoyah, Arizona, and their Caribbean territories, the last one would become the U.S states of Cuba and Puerto Rico respectively, as the Hispanic-majority population had grown sick of the unapologetically white supremacist government.

The tough Interwar Years (1919-1940) for the CSA, alongside the African American and other non-white populations, with a newfound sense of freedom and self-determination, either moved to the more progressive America, joined the growing civil rights movement, or the more radical left-wing-inspired groups, which caused a whole other set of problems as the white residents of Dixie, most of whom had treated their non-white brethren with disrespect or worse, suddenly found themselves threatened (both figuratively and literally), combined with the US having the leverage over them, made life somewhat miserable for those living in the Roaring 1920s, although that didn't mean there weren't any successes, which would see the effects of the racial, political, and economic troubles eventually spill into the Civil War after promising Confederate President Huey Long was assassinated in 1935, which saw the quick rise of one William Dudley Pelley less than a year later. Pelley, a fascist, would align himself with men like Mosley, Mussolini, Maurras, and Tojo, and plunge the World into another period of darkness with the Second World War (1940-1946).
