## History

History can be divided into the following major eras

### Pre-Auterium (10,000 BA - 1000 BA)

Pre-Auterium Describes the state of Europa before the Auterium Empire rose to power and began its conquests. There is no clear beginning, although it comes to a clear abrupt end after the 1st Siege of Gaul-Haus.

### Auterium Conquest (-1000-0)

The Century long conquest of the Continent by the Auterium Empire, which adapts and adopts from almost all cultures, all the while assimilating them into the Empire. Era begins with the Auterium conquest of Grenvil, and the beginning of its imperialist doctrine. The age comes to an end after the fall of Kanton, the last city to hold out against the Empire.

### Auterium Occupation (0-400)

The 400 Year period of relative peace as Auterium reigns over almost all of Europa. Begins with the formal occupation of Canton, Auterium's last major opponent. Age ends with the Great Civil War.

### Auterium Republic (400-1000)

The Fall of the Empire, gives way to the Republic, which decays as democracy fails to unite all of Europa. Age begins after the Civil war, with Auterium Republicans gaining control and establishing Parliament. Age ends with the slow steady fall of the Republic.

### Age of Gods (1000-1328)

The Establishment of the Holy Grenvil Empire under the Grent Reformations in 927, the League of Easterns in 944, and the Dijard Unification in 988 created a powder-keg in Europa which was Ignited as the major power, Auterium, fell resulting in a massive power vacuum. A series of Ideological was in Europa erupted, which only stopped after the Grenvil Empire was dissolved, The League of Easterns Collapsed, and the Dijard Minors rebelled mid-war.

### Age of Kingdoms (1328-1650)

The Wars of the past cut borders across Europa where small lords claimed land, and eventually swore to higher lords. This lead to the creation of many Nations, many of which stand today. Although minor changes were made, the Political map of Europa essentially stays the same forever, with the acceptation of several world war occupations. This era ends when the Arcadian's publish the Encyclopedia of Sinosaur

### Age of Discovery (1650-1785)

The Age of Discovery was an era when the Europa powers raced for Sinosaur, and to a lesser extent Sommerkont. It began with the Establishment of New Kanton, and lead to a rapid colonization and series of border wars along the new frontier. The age ended after the creation of the Federation, and the reclamation of the southern region of Sinosaur.

### Industrial Revolution(1785-1895)

The Age of Industrial Revolution, began with the creation of the steam engine, which was first used by the Canton Navy to begin the war of 1791. The age was characterized by a massive amount of inventions, most of which failed redundantly. The age ended with the Assassination of Baron Freimann, leading to the begining of the World War

### World War(1895-1945)

The World War began unofficially with the minor skirmishes between Mortland and Arcadia, but accelerated in 1914 with the introduction of Arenex, Scavon, Grenvil and Canton. The war climaxed in 1918, and lead to a short stalemate period. The war resumed in 1939, as the entire world divided into 3 camps, and ended in 1945, defiantly during the Siege of Arenex.

### Cold War(1945-1988)

The Cold War began with the Scavon Union creating socialist satellite states out of the eastern half of Europa, and the Federation responding to this threat by creating a large Pro-Capitalist west. There were many proxy wars which fought around the world by State, and non-state actors sponsored or controlled by one of the 2 super-power camps. The Cold War came to an end when the Scavon Union lost control of most of its states, and itself developed into a Proto-Democratic Union.

### Age of Terror(1988-2096)

The Age of Terror was an era when many Non-state actors sought to advance their agendas through a doctrine of terror, or terrorist like activities. Most of these groups were grown in the Dijard Valley or the surrounding areas, tempered by either previous Scavon Occupation or attempted conquest. For the years 2018-2042 the world was plunged into a massive state of confusion and chaos as every major nation saw mass protests and riots and several wars were fought, many of them purely out of confusion. The era ended after the reestablishment of governments, and the refinement of laws for the modern era

### Space Race(2096-2326)

The Space Race Age was described as the race to move populations off the planet as they quickly approached carrying capacity. The famous hallmark of the decadence of the planet was when internatonal shore lines advanced rapidly, roughly 25 kilometers in a decade
