Inspired by the classic 100 year: The World Changes, ArKhan's 50 years timeline, and DanielXie's 200 Years!. The butterfly effect will be used in full, which means that anyone born more than 9 months after January 1st, 1898 (in other words, September) can have different deaths, or do different things. This also means a number of fictional characters who did not exist in OTL will show up and make their marks on history and some deaths will be averted.
This will begin in the wee hours of the 19th Century, and continue all the way until present day.
Now, let us begin!
January 1st, 1898: The new year opens up not with joy, but with lament, as the Kaiser Wilhelm II of Germany tripped, fell off a bridge, and died.
January 1st, 1898: Also, the Hitler family immigrates to the United States of America, settling in New York City.
September 20th, 1898: The Fashoda War between Great Britain and France erupts.
September 21st, 1898: Empress Dowager Cixi's coup fails.
September 6th, 1901: President William McKinley is assassinated by Leon Czolgosz. Vice President Theodore Roosevelt becomes President.
January 30, 1902: Anglo-Japanese Alliance signed.
November 13th, 1905: Franco-Japanese ends with decisive Japanese victory.
NOTE: We will be proceeding by decades, starting with 1898-1909. At the moment the rest of the 20th and 21st century aside from the 1900s is locked. Do not add any more until I unlock the rest of the century.
