Major Differences

Main article: Overview Timeline (Vandverse)

• 1200-1500s - The Oasisamerica region of North America undergoes a period of urbanization and advancement, leading to the creation of several nation states, such as the Pueblo Empire.
• 1500s-1600s - The French take a more vested interest in colonization, leading to a more heavily populated series of colonies in North America, which later become multiple French-speaking nations.
• 1700s - The Constitution Convention fails in the fledgeling United States, leading to the formerly British colonies in the eastern seaboard splitting into several nations.
• 1800s - South Africa (and much of Africa) is colonized differently, including the survival of many Boer Republics.
• 2000s - Nuclear Armageddon occurs, leading to a post-apocalyptic future.
