**1830**- the Mexican war of Misfortune begins, the allied forces of Mexico (who are in Canada), Wisconsin, Maine and the Kingdom of Yorcha invade the Arctic Caliphate. This begins a brutal war between the Caliphate and Maine, who share a large border

**1831**- Mexico falls due to revolution and joins the Caliphate

**1833**- the Battle of Grozny is fought, the Kingdom of Yorcha distinguish themselves during the battle but leave with all the Allied Forces supplies due to mistreatment and harassment. The battle is lost due to logistical issues emerging from mismanagement and Arctic guerillas raiding Maine ammo supplies. Grozny becomes hallowed ground and the holy city of Mekka is constructed to celebrate the Muslim victory

**1834**- Maine collapses and becomes the Commonwealth of New York due to political pressure from the Commonwealth of Missouri. The remaining Maine natives form the Kingdom of New Maine or move to the West Coast.

**1840**- the National Canadian Republic of Workers attempts an invasion of Imperial Russian Cascadia's ally Aleutia, the result is a crushing victory for Russia making them recognized by most of the continent as a growing power.

**1844**- In response to the expansion of Imperial Russian Cascadia and Aleutia (such claims are dubious) Idaho and the NCR form the Pacific States of America and declare an embargo upon Russia. This embargo is ignored by arms dealers from San Theodoros

**1845**- After Russian battleships arrive at their docks, the Australian Commonwealth of Hawaii decides to join the Pacific States of America.

**1850**- the Russian War on Pacific Tyranny begins

**June of 1850**- the Russians bombard the NCR Capital with little resistance beyond small militias due to PSA bureaucratical mismanagement, winning the war. Hawaii joins San Theodoros as part of the Costa Rican Purchase and settle in Central America. The PSA dissolves and Russia is recognised as a major power.

**1860s**- a time of banditry emerges in North America, in the border provinces between nations bandits and sometimes soldiers loot tribal and independent settlers' homes and rob travelers. A hotspot of this is "the badlands" a border province to the south of Wisconsin between the Artic Caliphate, Missouri and the Eastern Era Empire.

### 1870s

**December of 1875**- The Red Bandana Gang run rampant in Virginia, a coalition of nations is formed between NCR remnants, the Theodoran Observer Corps, Virginian soldiers, Eastern Era legionaries and jihadists from the Arctic Caliphate. After the gang is pinned at a Virginian village near a fort they die one by one and their guns are like nothing ever seen before, with cartridges made of cloth and lead and brass and "magazines" within the rifles that allow repeating shots which is named a "repeater". Pistols with no flintlock are also found on each body that have similar cartridges but a revolving cylinder in the gun, they are named "revolvers". The coalition immediately breaks down and start shooting each other, the ones who get the lion's share of the loot are the Arctic Caliphate and San Theodoros.

**February of 1876**- After the short lived coalition of nations served it's purpose two men decide to form the "United Nations" a council of nations that would peacefully decide on international matters without needing to resort to war. It is almost immediately condemned by the Commonwealth of Missouri and the Eastern Era Empire. The UN decides that the badlands should become a UN occupied safe-zone for refugees (many refugees before then had simply headed for Latin America, away from the wars of the north) and demanded that Missouri withdraw from the badlands, this was met with threats from Missouri and similar feeling from the Eastern Era. Both ruled that a group without force of arms could never demand anything from them, the United Nations Peacekeepers were thus set up with equipment donated from the nations present.

**April of 1876**- Nations finish reverse-engineering the weapons of the Red Bandana gang and start mass producing them.

**June of 1876-** The cascadian aligned nation of Aluetia is absorbed into the Missouri Empire, becoming the Commonwealth of Vancouver.

**July of 1876-** The Confederacy of Virginia is reformed into the nation of New England following a bloodless exchange of power
