"Point to the ceiling, point to the floor"

Last words of Captain Andropov of the Russian Imperial Army, before he and his soldiers were overwhelmed by a pack of Xenomorphs. The aliens had arrived on Earth through meteorites, and it had taken two years before they were finally wiped out.

"Your war has given our country nothing but a ruined economy, and thousands of children crying because daddy isn't coming home! Is this what you wanted, signor primo ministro?"

The accusation given over from Alessandro "Sandro" Pertini, head of the Italian insurgency over to Prime Minister Benito Mussolini over Italy's involvement over in World War II, specifcially on the side of Franco as part of the NaSyn League, referring to the nations run by "Nationalist Syndicalist" nations and their allies. Led by Franco's Spain and Mussolini's Italy, it consisted of them, Austria, Estado Novo of Portugal and the Ustaše-controlled State of Greater Croatia against the Allies, consisting of France, Great Britain and Soviet Union, later joined by Germany, the Low Countries, and Serbia.

The war was started after Austria and Italy backed a coup in Poland against the elected socialist government, which spiraled into a series of alliances and after 4 years of war, the defeat of the NaSyn League, especially with the rise of revolutions against them. It would Spain be balkanized as the Catalonian people would recreate the state of Aragon albeit as a Republic along with Basque and Galician states. Crotia and Serbia would both be weakened states and it would lead to the rise of the Commonwealth of Bosnia, which would see a rise in converts in a the Church of Bosnia, a state church based on a mix of Protestant beliefs, rejecting their Catholic and Orthodox neighbors. Poland would also experience a massive shift, with Unitarism overtaking Catholicism. Italy meanwhile would see a socialist government come into power to try and repair the damage done during the war.

"The British Raj was always going to be divided. However, instead of divided by faith, we got the countries of Hindustan and Dravida Nadu instead."

Winston Churchill in 1951, regarding the fate of India. While he was initially against letting colonies go, defeat in the Great War and the spiraling costs of trying to contain suddenly emboldened independence movements eventually forced him and others to accept the new order.

"Nathan James, Nathan James, this is Friedrich der Grosse. Are you receiving this?"

"Friedrich der Grosse, Nathan James receives fine. What do you have for us?"

"Nathan James, you are ordered to cease maneuvering and prepare to receive boarders. Failure to comply will see us engage to destroy. This is your only warning"

"Very well, Fríedrich der Grosse. Nathan James surrenders. Preparing to receive boarders. Over and out."

Last known words of the infamous leader of the biggest pirate fleet in the Mediterranean, Nathan 'The Captain' James, before commiting suicide in defiance to the orders of Friedrich der Grosse. Dying aged 67 after 40 long years of prowling the Mediterranean, Nathan James' death would signify the end of the age of piracy in the Mediterranean which lasted from 1882 to January 1963. A feared warlord since he was 27 years old, his death would be celebrated by many the nations he often raided with impunity.

Unfortunately for SEGA, Sonic the Hedgehog released with a massive game-breaking bug - a bug so game-breaking it was the key reason behind SEGA’s collapse.

Said Scott the Woz. However, he's only referring to the game's infamous slowdown in European versions (which actually exists, by the way) which made customers there think the game was slow, which is a bit of a problem for a game advertised as being speedy. Of course, he's intentionally not mentioning the actual game-breaking error, because funny -- which was not a bug, but an intentional game over after the final boss if you didn't hit the escaping Eggman/Robotnik. Everyone hated that, because it should have been a cutscene. This plus the slowdown meant Sega's fall to Nintendo, who had a run button.

"How's the invasion going?"
"Which one?"
"Does it really matter?"
"...yes."

Nikolai II, last Tsar of Russia, regarding the invasions that were finally supposed to settle matters in his favor in Manchuria and the Balkans. While the former made some progress, especially initially, the latter ran head first into very much not amused Germany, Austria and the Ottomans and was bloodily repelled.

Five years of fighting eventually saw all invasion goals unmet, vast territories in the west and Caucasus surrendered to new overlords and the dissolution of the monarchy. "Nikolai's Folly" is remembered to this day as the greatest catastrophe to befall Russia.

"The Great North Atlantic Submarine Hunt... has a certain ring to it, doesn't it Number One?"

"Perhaps. Still, probably best to worry about such things after success, yes?"

"Point. And with that -let's nail the bastard."

The final lines of the Pilot episode of Hunting Wolves: The Great North Atlantic Submarine Hunt. Though the subtitle was later dropped, the massively popular 1980s naval drama detailed the titular hunt for Franco-Confederate submarines operating in the North Atlantic. The process was primarily the activity of the United States Navy, the Commonwealth Navy, and the Iberian People's Navy, with the conversation detailed here being one between Captain Charles Dale and Executive Officer Lawrence Taylor of the HMS Remembrance, the primary British aircraft carrier operating in the North Atlantic at the time and the point ship of the antisubmarine campaign.

The show ran for 5 seasons, and detailed both life aboard Allied and Entente submarines, politics between member states on both side of the Atlantic War, and internal military drama both ashore and aboard. It remains wildly beloved, and popularized the Naval Military Drama that remains a well established sub genre across the Free World.

A line commentating on the rise of Communism over in the American Southwest. After Texas' independence, they would find themselves unable to join the Union for varying reasons and attempts at expandng over west did not to go too well at first. As such, they would have to endure the land by themselves and make plenty of compromises, including the demands of the various Amerindian peoples there though it would get better over time. After the rise of the Second Mexican Empire, with many of the defeated Republicans heading up north and into Texas. Despite the initial complaints, they accepted it as it would help with the population and settlement. However, the large shift and ideals would lead to Texas doing things like outlawing slavery and they would eventually claim California, claiming the bottom half of it, including the San Francisco area. However, by the time they did, they've begun forming their own identity from the Americans and perhaps out of spite, would restrict access to them during the Texan Gold Rush.

Many freedmen from the US Civil War would end up in Texas alongside some of the Irish diaspora from the Potato Famine and even plenty of Chinese immigrants settling in. The open expense and the need for cooperation helped promote the ideals based on socialism, which is why communism grew more and more popular in Texas, even if influenced by various factors. One massive example would be the Texas State Church, born from a combination of Hispanic Catholicism, Protestant beleifs, Amerindian folk traditions and even some Chinese folk beliefs (courtesy of the failed Taiping ebels' God Worshipping Society) rolled into one. As such, the idea of the "freedom-loving cowboys" becoming communists was viewed as bizarre by outsiders yet quite sensibile in many leftist circles. As such, the Texas Commonwealth remains a powerful nation, with the Mexican Federation in the south (the monarchy peacefully overthrown by Spanish republicans fleeing the lost civil war who immgirated there) and the United States of America as their neighbor.

"The defeat of the Rashidun Caliphate at the hands of the Roman-Persian Alliance also decided the fate of the newborn religion of Islam, creating what is informally called Roman Islam and Orthodox Islam, the two major branches."

Texan governor George Bush to president Hillary Rodham, on the matter of the so-called "Big Four Battle Royale", where champions from the four most prestigious American universities compete in a wrestling match. Over the years, many of these fights ended with the death of one or more contestants, but despite this, it is still a revered national tradition.

"Could have been worse. At least this time you didn't sleep with the PM's daughter."

"Yeah, about that..."

"Alas, I have only a little neck."
Last words of Napoleon Bonaparte following the Talleyrand Revolt, when Talleyrand, after being rebuked in his attempt to contact the Tsar of Russia, decided to take matters into his own hands and agitated anti-imperial sentiments among the French common folk. The revolt led to the burning of Paris and Napoleon's capture. On seeing that the people had erected a guillotine, Napoleon said his famous line just before his jaw was broken to prevent him saying anything else. Despite having started the revolt, Talleyrand opted not to seize power, instead handing the crown back to Louis XVIII and retiring to Spain.

Quote by Louis XIX of France (1754-1829; Reign - 1774-1829) upon talking about The Great French Famine (1785-1805) that would eventually see the Kingdom be releaved thanks to aid from Irish potatoes after a successful marriage between The King's Daughter Sophie and the British King George III's Grandson, the future Henry IX and son of William IV, to secure a temporary alliance and trade agreement that saw France be relieved from it's plight. Sadly, France and England would be at War a decade after the King's Death.

"Perhaps the English Conquest of Norway was inevitable, and maybe so was the English dominance of the English Coast on the Mainland. One thing is for certain, the English conquests that went on for two hundred years lead to English naval dominance in the area and created a massive English Diaspora in France that suffered under the fierce boot of the RGN regime during the third world war."
