Welcome to 100 years! A collaborative timeline in the spirit of "XXth century" and "50 Years". Beginning on May 18th, 1910 and ending on May 18th, 2010, this timeline will explore just how much difference 50 years can make. The butterfly effect will be used in full, which means that anyone born more than 9 months after May 18th, 1910 (in other words, December) will either not exist, or be a different ALT "brother" or "sister" than from OTL. This also means a number of people who did not exist in OTL will show up and make their marks on history. Now, let us begin, on May 18th, 1910.
