European Art depicting
the Black Death, which killed tens of millions upon millions of people, wiping out entire towns and bringing kingdoms to their knees. The plague was responsible for bringing or setting off massive social changes across Europe and the rest of the World, and was responsible for the collapse of the Islamic and Chinese civilizations, sending those regions into anarchy, crashing the economy, and opening up a power vacuum to their neighbors...
European soldiers of the
Christendom Pact coming up over from the trenches during the
Battle of Tehran in 1919, during the
Great War (1914-1945), about to engage in combat against soldiers of the
Empire of India. The Great War, between the allied European, West Asian, and North African nations, alongside their American and Oceanic colonies, and the Empire of India, along with their various colonies and puppets in Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Oceania, and the Americas, would go to war over the actions taken against a Christian rebellion in Indian Manchuria. Other nations included the Native American
Haudenosaunee League in Central North America and the nation of
New Africa in eastern South America, which joined in on the side of India, seeing the Europeans as expansionist and chauvinistic, the war would come to an end with the
Treaty of Constantinople on September 2nd, 1945.
Indian Soldiers deployed in Indonesia, during the breakaway of the country during the 1990s. The Empire of India would officially come to an end in 2002, replaced by a much more democratic republican federation, after several failed attempts at keeping a hold of the jewel of their empire, and last colony in general;
Indonesia. The main reasons for independence were mostly due to a general feeling of a lack of self-rule amongst the Indonesian people, the slow decline of India's power in general in the aftermath of the Great War in 1945 against Christendom, and the growing voices of Buddhists, Muslims, and other non-Hindu people in the country. The country would officially see independence in 1997, which saw the begging of the
Five Year Crisis (1997-2002), which would see the end of the monarchy and the establishment of the new government. As for Indonesia, it would go on to become a member of the
South-East Asian Union, and getting back on its feet, becoming a potential major power by 2021.
