It's August 64 AD. Three years earlier 20.000 Roman soldiers were butchered in a bloody revolt against the Roman occupation of Britain. The Romans restored order quickly. This followed by increase and prosperity within the new province. London became the provincial capital and the center of international merchandise. The new Roman roads and new Roman towns made transportation easier, quicker and attractive. It is at this time, that in Northern Europe a big economic recession occurred. Under Roman rule, the economy of the British tribes was initially focused on trading with the Mediterranean, Indian, Southeast Asian and Chinese markets. Suddenly, shocking news arrived in Britain of a terrorist attack on both Rome itself and on Lyon, the Capital of Gaul. Both cities were the target of mass pyromania and hundreds of thousands of people died. The merchant-ambassadors of the far east kingdoms Funan, Mahan, Baekje, Gaya, Jinhan, Silla, Ryuku, Mon, and Kyushu, became worried that this might lead to an end of their position in Britain. They feared that Nero might use this attack as an excuse to close down the Maritime Sino-Roman trade in silk, rice, art and wine. But then, on the advice of a adventurer, their attention turned to Scandinavia. What are they up to?

Our Sea
The arms race began in Mesopotamia with the invention of composite bows, light chariots and crossbows. The Persian (Iranian) emperor tried to conquer Athens in 480 BCE but was delayed by the Spartans at Thermopylae while Greek warships destroyed the Persian fleet. The Macedonian ruler, Alexander the Great, completely destroyed the Persian armies by 326 BCE and established the Greek empire. Then, between 600 and 200 BCE, a few hundred Greeks revolutionized science, mathematics, medicine, engineering, history, law and philosophy. Meanwhile, Greeks settlers in Sicily were in conflict with Rome and, by first century BCE, Romans had conquered Greece, Egypt, Carthage and the old Persian empire. Roman traders made large profits using the Silk Road between Rome, China and India and which created higher incomes though out the Roman empire. Roman engineers built more than 80,000 km of roads throughout the empire and 800 km of aqueducts in Rome delivered a million cubic metres of water each day. WHO THE HELL ARE WE? is a series of short books and videos describing the evolution of civilization. Almost everyone on the planet is five times wealthier than their ancestors only 50 years ago. This astonishing phenomenon has also improved health, education, and longevity. The cause; an explosive growth in ideas and productivity. It began when we learned to control fire, evolved articulate speech and stumbled onto the way to create infinite wealth; free trade. The discovery of agriculture made us richer but we also learned how to destroy wealth. Great civilization grew up but then disappeared leaving only incredible ruins and ideas. Later books detail some of the ideas and developments that increased the average life span from about 40 years to more than 80 and the average world income from less than $3 to more than $33 per person per day (and to $140 per day in some countries).Lengkap
Middle Era
Jesus and Muhammad adopted the Hebrew's belief in one God and Christianity and Islam spread throughout the world. The Chinese were using gunpowder in the 9th century and, by the 13th , cannon dominated the battlefields. Paper money appeared in China from 1216, as many financial transactions were too large for heavy bronze coins. The Anglo-Saxons built light, fast ships to stop the Vikings raiding Britain and, in 1546, Henry VIII established the "Navy Royal" which Elizabeth I used to defeat the Spanish armada. Before 1764 a worker needed 50,000 hours to spin 100 lb of cotton thread on a hand-powered wheel but only 300 hours with a spinning machine. Between 1770 and 1773, James Cook crossed the Antarctic Circle and mapped the coasts of New Zealand, Australia and the west coast of north America. By 100 BCE, Chinese were weaving complex silk brocade cloth. In 1804, J. M. Jacquard reinvented the Chinese loom, using a chain of cards to control which threads of weft or warp appeared on the cloth. This was the beginning of computers.

Fate: No One Plays the Villain Like I Do
In ancient mythology, there was a shadow that encircled the world-lurking in the darkness, waiting for the day it could raise its head and devour the gods. It once deceived the King of Heroes, Gilgamesh, into severing his ties with the gods and orchestrated the return of the great disaster, Tiamat. It shattered the authority of Olympus and lured Athena, the goddess of wisdom, into rebellion. It kidnapped Skadi, the goddess of winter, bringing shame upon Asgard and setting off the Twilight of the Norse Gods. It even engineered the clash between Britannia's Red Dragon and White Dragon, dragging Jeanne d'Arc into corruption. Because of this, it was branded with countless names of ultimate evil. "The Terror of Babylon, the Calamity of the Aegean Sea!" "The Nightmare of Asgard, the Apocalyptic Red Dragon with Seven Heads and Ten Horns!!" "Nemesis of the Messiah, the Original Sin of the World!!!" But seriously, we all did those things together-so why am I the one getting blamed for everything? ... When a man named Tokiomi Tohsaka used a piece of snakeskin to summon him, Samael saw how the Magus cautiously stepped in front of his daughters to shield them. In that moment, he understood... Yeah-he was definitely taking the fall for all of it.
Caledonian advocates
After emperor Trajan annexed Dacia, many Caledoni became more interested in becoming Roman due to the access to gold mines in the new province Dacia. A lot of them migrated to London in order to become involved in Roman commerce. The Caledoni send messengers to Rome requesting permit to trade with the Dacians. Within two years the Caledoni opportunists became wealthy. They reported their gains to their homeland. One of them returns to Caledonia in the hope to gain status with King Arvid. His corpse was found on a road far away from the palace. The murder caused much unrest in the south of Caledonia. The Roman governor of Britain even used this homicide as an excuse to raid several villages in the south of Caledonia. Despite Caledonia being a client kingdom of Rome, they were still treated as 'barbaric' by the officials in London. As a response King Arvid send advocates to London to find a solution, while he remained in Caledonia to prevent a civil war between the pro-Roman and the anti-Roman clans.Lengkap
Byzantine gold
It's the beginning of the 4th century AD. Italy, with around 14 million inhabitants, is the most wealthy, populous country in the world. It is also the center of the Roman-Byzantine Empire. At this time, the persecution of Christians became forbidden by law. Despite that, the tensions between Christians and pagans were far from over. At this time the Italian region 'Venetia et Histria', sometime referred to as 'the Venetian kingdom', grew in commercial importance. The prosperity of the Venetians and Histrians brought enormous divisions in the population. The love of money caused the wealthy Italians to drain their neighbours. The underclass, who didn't take it any longer, united in several fraternal gangs to target the rich. The murders and kidnappings increased. Only life in fortified cities was safe for the common people. During these days cargo fleets sailed into Aquileia. The ships contained envoys from Yemen, Funan and the Yamatai confederacy. In Aquileia not everyone was happy with the envoys that resided among them. The diplomats often engaged in criminal behaviour and they disregarded the boundaries of the community. When a Funan ambassador and his man violate two young girls, the civilians have enough. Assassination plots are made. And some people decide to emigrate...Lengkap![[OLD] Escaping the Friendzone (Various! Hetalia x Reader)](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/179149955-256-k21442.jpg)
[OLD] Escaping the Friendzone (Various! Hetalia x Reader)
(School AU) (Y/n) (L/n) is a very smart young lady. She always gets good marks on her quizzes and tests. She's nice to everyone and tries to stay positive around her peers/friends/family. However, behind closed doors she tends to break down. She has an older sister with mental health issues and an older brother whom she used to confide in but he moved away and barely visited and talked to his family. This only made the girl's life worse. Her childhood friend and neighbor, Gilbert stopped talking to her as much when he started middle school, but she still hung out with Ludwig. Her mother was always stressed between being a single mom and dealing with her sister. So the girl used her studies and books as an escape method from the real world. Of course she had some friends, but not many really GOOD friends. NOTE: The reader has Situational Depression DISCLAIMER: I do not own Hetalia, the characters, art, or the au. I only own the plot and whatnot. And another issue is that there are a LOT of countries so I can't really do all of them, so the only characters falling for you will be: Francis Bonnefoy (France) Alfred F. Jones (America) Matthew Williams (Canada) Arthur Kirkland (England) Ludwig Beilschmidt (Germany) Gilbert Belischmidt (Prussia) Feliciano Vargas (Italy) Lovino Vargas (Romano) Antonio Fernandez Carriedo (Spain) Ivan Braginski (Russia) I suck at writing a fanfic with more than 10 characters involved unless I REALLY know ALL of the characters. Also I'm sorry I took out Japan and China. Before I started editing they got like zero attention and I felt bad Q_Q I hope you enjoy the story nonetheless and I thank you for taking your time reading this stupidly long description EDIT: If you want to see more interactions with a certain character (doesn't have to be ones you fall for) just let me know!Lengkap
Starting World War 3! (A Hetalia Fanfic)
Despite it being well past sunrise, the house was dark. I had woken up with a start, hearing the sound of a car below but now as I lay awake, I was in even more of a panic. "Don't make a sound." She whispered as she clasped a hand over my mouth, "The house is surrounded. They're going to kill us. They're going to kill the countries." ... It is gradually nearing to two decades since Taishya Rovanoff ran away with her twins and despite the media taking the world by storm, great tensions are underlying once-happy friendships with the nations. When a young and perhaps too-curious state comes across some files, she decides it is her own personal mission to solve the missing-twin mystery. This, however, proves more challenging than not when old scars are reopened leading to a series of events which brings the world to its knees. With forgotten prophecies and mysterious attacks threatening the lives of once-strong countries, the world is inevitably falling apart. So how is it, with all the chaos going on, a missing lady, a set of twins, a naïve child, a sickly teenager, a frightened mother, a celestial body and a queen all bring about the darkest hour the personified nations have ever faced? How is it that the threads of the earth are slowly undoing to bring about the start of the end of the world? ... DISCLAIMER: The story, all names, characters, and incidents portrayed in this production are fictitious. No identification with actual persons, places, buildings, and products is intended or should be inferred. The only things that I own are the plot, Taishya and any other OC's I might decide to include. If I did own Hetalia, I wouldn't be writing this...actually, I reckon I would be on an island, basking in the sun and drinking a pineapple cocktail whilst my servants brought slices of nectarines. Hetalia and it's characters belong to their rightful genius owner, Hidekaz Himaruya...(seriously, that man is a god!).Lengkap

This book is fiction and made for entertainment purposes only. It is not entirely historically accurate. !!!!!!! !!

Etched .:Hetalia Horror Story:.
It happened to be a normal G8 meeting as always. Some fights here and there and nothing much getting done, as usual, for the personified nations. But, then, America gets an idea. "Oh, how about we go to this haunted house, dudes?" In which, somehow they agree and follow America to a abandoned house out on the outskirts of New York. Though, what they don't know, is that their nightmares are about to seemingly become real. EDIT: 11/8/16 THIS WAS MADE 2 HALLOWEENS AGO WATTT EVEN... My writing was so bad in this, not gonna lie.
