Overview

Timeline

Here is a brief timeline of significant events throughout world history in chronological order:

• ~2,000,000 BCE: The earliest known signs of hominid life in the east date from around this time, in the Yaolan province of modern-day Great Huan.
• ~3000 BCE: Early dynastic civilisations form along the fertile coastlines of the southernmost tip of contingent Kaltachia, coexisting in relative peace.
• 0: The events of Year 0 have worldwide ramifications. In Akarea, widespread disease and famine undermine the authority of the Akarean dynasties, leading to the Era of Warring States.
• ~400 CE: Early irrigation methods are discovered by the farmers of the Huan dynasty; by ending the famine in Akarea the Huan dynasty overtakes the entire peninsula through sheer overwhelming manpower, ending the Era of Warring States. The peninsula is declared Great Huan, and the Huan dynasty becomes the Akarean Empire.
• ~800 CE: The Slavayans emerge as an ethnic group in North Terra.
• 1696: The Akarean Empire reaches its height, controlling Hykko (including Bantang), Hautsing, Satoyama, Gaanglanglataar, Suiland, the Danpian island belt and a ninety mile stretch of the south-eastern coast of Kaltachia. Advances north are thwarted by the terrain and Cenaesian intervention. Akarean technology is insufficient to sail further south.
• 1767: The Akarean Empire and Candanadium form an official alliance. Trade routes are established between Kaltachia and the historically relatively isolated region of Akarea. White Kaltachs and Akareans begin to mix. The Great Cultural Era begins.
• 1860s: The industrial revolution reaches the Akarean Empire. The Emperor Min Huan conscripts all fit and healthy Akareans into indentured servitude, ending the Great Cultural Era and beginning the Great Struggle.
• 1920: Suffering from poor quality of life in the Great Struggle, the indentured servants of the Akarean Empire form the People's Army, a civilian milita. They begin to resist the empire, leading to the Massacre of Orlig which kickstarts the Labourers' Revolution.
• 1922: The People's Army breaches the final line of imperial defence. Nearly one million resistance members torch the Heavenly City to the ground, and the emperor Zhou Huan is publicly executed. The Akarean Empire is disbanded and the Akarean Union is established in its place, with invites sent to all former territories of the Empire. All accept, save for mainland Hykko and Satoyama. Hykko forms an independent republic, whilst socioeconomic tensions in Satoyama lead to the Division of Satoyama into West Satoyama which joins the Union and East Satoyama which does not.
• 1989: The Sun Yan Daimei crisis happens in Suiland, in which a nuclear reactor meltdown is closely avoided after a malfunction. Radioactive particulate matter is released into the environment.
