In 1863 confederate president Jeff Davis outlaws slavery in the confederacy. Despite talking about doing the same, Abraham Lincoln does no such thing in the Union and three months later the British Empire declares war on the Union on the grounds of stopping the save trade.
In 1865 the American civil war draws to a close with much of East America once again under British rule.
By 1960 the world is split between the British and German empires. Global tensions are at breaking point and it seems nothing can prevent the world's first truly "world war".

She must make the biggest decision in her short life: Does she join her brother and nurse those in need, or does she live comfortably in the peace of her own home?

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. 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).Complete

Time Rift: Modern USA in World War II
"Time changes so much, huh? Only 80 years and we have Guided Bombs, Super Sonic travel, and we have reached to the stars." -Winston Churchill, c. January 1942 Formerly known as War is Hell. During New Year's eve in 2023, The US is transported back to December 6th 1941, This is what followed.. Inspired by United we stand, Divided we fall by USMCgamer101, This mostly takes a more 'realistic' approach to it, and a larger focus on the politics and fighting, and spying. There is no set main character for this book. I'm a military nerd, not a politician, if I get something with with how they handle politics and diplomacy please tell me in a constructive way! As with any WW2 book, There may be sensitive topics. I do not encourage Nazism or fascism. Viewer discretion is advised, Gore may be described during large battles.
