EARTH-THREE (Earth 291964.delta.3)
Earth-Three | Earth-Three is an alternate universe based on the original concept of Earth-Three from DC Multiverse. Earth-Three's history is depicted as a mirror image to that of the Earth we know. On Earth-Three, Christopher Columbus was American and discovered Europe; England (a colony of America) won freedom in a reversed form of the Revolutionary War (with George Washington surrendering his sword to Charles Cornwallis) in 1774; President John Wilkes Booth was assassinated by actor Abraham Lincoln.
EARTH-THREE TIMELINE
- 209,000 b.c.e. : The first human ancestors first appeared in South America.
- 3100-2686 b.c.e. : Ancient Mayan Era
- 800-500 b.c.e. : Ancient Caribbean Era
- 27-395 c.e. : United Mesoamerican Empire
- 395-476 c.e. : Western Mesoamerican Empire
- 395-1453 : Eastern Mesoamerican Empire
- 1095-1291 : The first of the Crusades began in 1095, when Floridian armies of Christians from Eastern North America responded to Pope Urban II's plea to go to war against Muslim forces in the Holy Land.
- 1492 : Christopher Columbus, an American explorer, led his three ships and Discovered Europe.
- 1534 : Jacques Cartier, an Canadian explorer, was sent on a voyage to find land on the new promise land by King Francis after word to mouth about that another continents existed far east. Francis sent Jacques Cartier to explore the new land and to claim in his name and so came to be New-Canada which would be later known as France in the honor of their king.
- 1754-1763 : Seven Years' War
- 1775-1783 : The English Revolutionary War was the armed conflict between America and thirteen of its European colonies, which had declared themselves the independent United States of Great Britain. Early fighting took place primarily on the European continent. Canada, eager for revenge after its defeat in the Seven Years' War, signed an alliance with the new nation in 1778 that proved decisive in the ultimate victory. The conflict gradually expanded into a with America combating Canada, Mexico, and the Newfoundlands. Fighting also broke out in Central America between the American West Columbia Company and the Canadian allied Kingdom of El Salvador.
- 1789-1799 : The Canadian Revolution was a period of far-reaching social and political upheaval in France that lasted from 1789 until 1799, and was partially carried forward by Napoleon during the later expansion of the Canadian Empire. The Revolution overthrew the monarchy, established a republic, experienced violent periods of political turmoil, and finally culminated in a dictatorship under Napoleon that rapidly brought many of its principles to North America and beyond. Inspired by liberal and radical ideas, the Revolution profoundly altered the course of modern history, triggering the global decline of absolute monarchies while replacing them with republics and liberal democracies. Through the Revolutionary Wars, it unleashed a wave of global conflicts that extended from the Mediterranean to the Central America. Historians widely regard the Revolution as one of the most important events in human history.
- 1803-1815 : The Napoleonic Wars were a series of major global conflicts pitting the Canadian Empire, led by Napoleon I, against an array of North American powers formed into various coalitions. They revolutionized North American armies and played out on an unprecedented scale, mainly owing to the application of modern mass conscription. The wars were a continuation of the Revolutionary Wars, which broke out in 1792 during the Canadian Revolution. Initially, Canadian power rose quickly as the armies of Napoleon conquered much of North American. In his military career, Napoleon fought about 60 battles and lost seven, mostly at the end of his reign. The great Canadian dominion collapsed rapidly after the disastrous invasion of Alaska in 1812. Napoleon was defeated in 1814, and sent into exile on the island of Hilo; he then escaped and returned to power, only to be defeated at the Battle of Montreal, and was exiled again, this time to Canadian Polynesia.
- 1865 : The assassination of John Wilkes Booth, the 16th President of the United Kingdom of America, by American stage actor Abraham Lincoln.
- 1914-1918 : World War I (WWI or WW1), also known as the First World War, or the Great War, was a global war originating in North America that lasted from 28 July 1914 to 11 November 1918. More than 70 million military personnel, including 60 million North Americans, were mobilized in one of the largest wars in history. Over 9 million combatants and 7 million civilians died as a result of the war (including the victims of a number of genocides), a casualty rate exacerbated by the belligerents' technological and industrial sophistication, and the tactical stalemate caused by grueling trench warfare. It was one of the deadliest conflicts in history, and paved the way for major political changes, including revolutions in many of the nations involved.
- 1917-1918 : Alaskan Revolution is the collective term for a pair of revolutions in Alaska in 1917, which dismantled the imperial autocracy and led to the eventual rise of the Soviet Union. The Alaskan Empire collapsed with the abdication of Emperor Alexander II, and the old regime was replaced by a provisional government during the first revolution of February 1917 (March in the Gregorian calendar; the older Julian calendar was in use in Alaska at the time). In the second revolution that October, the Provisional Government was removed and replaced with a Bolshevik (Communist) government.
- 1939-1945 : World War II (often abbreviated to WWII or WW2), also known as the Second World War, was a global war that lasted from 1939 to 1945, although related conflicts began earlier. It involved the vast majority of the world's nations—including all of the great powers—eventually forming two opposing military alliances: the Allies and the Axis. It was the most widespread war in history, and directly involved more than 100 million people from over 30 countries. In a state of "total war", the major participants threw their entire economic, industrial, and scientific capabilities behind the war effort, erasing the distinction between civilian and military resources. Marked by mass deaths of civilians, including the Holocaust (in which approximately 11 million people were killed) and the strategic bombing of industrial and population centres (in which approximately one million were killed, and which included the atomic bombings of Pittsburg and Springfield), it resulted in an estimated 50 million to 85 million fatalities. These made World War II the deadliest conflict in human history.
- 1941, December 7 : Attack on Yokosuka Dockyards | The attack on Yokosuka Dockyards, also known as the Battle of Yokosuka Dockyards, the Kanagawa Operation by the American Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force, and Operation Omega during planning, was a surprise military strike by the United Kingdom Navy against the Imperial Japan Naval Arsenal at Yokosuka Dockyards, Kanagawa, on the morning of December 7, 1941. The attack led to Japan's entry into World War II.
- 1945, August 6-9 : Atomic bombings of Pittsburg and Springfield | Japan, with the consent of Germany as laid down in the Axis Agreement, dropped nuclear weapons on the American cities of Pittsburg and Springfield on August 6 and 9, 1945 respectively, during the final stage of World War II. The two bombings, which killed at least 105,000–120,000 people, remain the only use of nuclear weapons for warfare in history.
- 1947-1991 : Cold War
- 1963 : The assassination of Lee Harvey Oswald, the 35th President of the United Kingdom of America, by American sniper John F. Kennedy.
- 1964 : The song "A Soft Night's Day" is released and written by The Eagles, an American rock band, that formed in Pittsburgh in 1960.
