It has been 41 years since the start of the last great conflict, a war that was waged between the great empires of Europe and their colonies the culmination of their ambition and fervor drowning millions in their hubris. In the aftermath following those years a revolution in thought would was among a great many colonies. The blood of their shed brethren serving as a rallying cry for a new generation, tens of thousands willing to become revolutionaries and martyrs for these growing movements.
Slow at first like all things but soon the sparks would grow into a raging fire and through pen or gun colonies of these last great empires would force their emancipation, and in the cavity that would form a flood of new figures and ideology would take stage. In a world where there are no empires, where there is no emperor, who rules the people? Some would say the people themselves and others that the right to rule is a trait or gift that must be honed and tempered, if needed reserved only for those who most prove themselves capable and competent.
These two questions formed on opposite sides of the axis tilts the world towards two different extremes. First in Asia the fires would be first cultivated in the lands long under the subservience of the Rising Sun would begin to rise up in revolt, these new movements unlike the any before would be led primarily by the peasantry the inexperience and lack of skill of these men being equally matched by their zealousness and tenacity. Several hands would point to sky in freedom their collective shadow eventually providing shade than shelter.
In Africa soon after the systems of imperialism that putted one tribe against the next would begin to slow than teeter eventually breaking down as movements of natives united overwhelmingly in their desire to upset than overthrow the imbalance would lead them to partake in increasing partisan action. Eventually too the continent itself would achieve its freedom, however the fruits of their freedom is a desert few of had the opportunity to taste and nourish on. The same men who had led them in cries for freedom became too quickly eager to affirm and legitimize their power through whatever means. Warlords and puppetmen now rule over the continent with small but determined pockets of resistance still determined to better their peoples.
Lastly in the Americas the continent that was first subjected to the Age of Colonization, much has changed in the several centuries since and several decades since the war. The continent less able to sort their own affairs than battle against the aspirations of another has been the most peaceful. The distance afforded from the Old World has proven very beneficial to fledgling states and their paths of nationhood, though these paths have often led to one another with war as a result.
In the decades since the war a series of small civil wars have erupted within the region, brought on both by the end of the 2nd Great War and expansion of the Globalized economy, these states are now center to this new era as their collective stability has attracted over migrants, along with new ideas, and beliefs. The last few decades have been quiet but eventful and now in late 20th century as states get closer, the ability to produce and defend easier, and war now deadlier the sight of smoke from the Americas grows thicker with each passing day.
