Modern History of the World People in common often divide the World history in two eras: Pre-war and post-war, alluding to the time before and after 2004, the year the world finally experienced global nuclear war. But as always, historians (the few that still have an interest in the past), like all scientists, tend to divide things into smaller parts. They have divided modern history into ten eras: 1945-1990 The Cold War 1991-2004 The Deterioration 2005-2037 After D-day 2038-2079 The Forming of The Multicorporations 2080-2086 The GMC War 2087-2125 The GangWars 2126-2201 Post-War Era 2202-2350 Fall of the Multicorporations 2351-2410 Second Generation GangWars 2411-???? Resurrection of the Multicorporations The Cold War (1945-1990) After the second worldwar the USA and the Soviet Union emerged as the two dominating states of the world. German, Italy and Japan were defeated; France and Great Britan were severly weakend. Although the Soviet Union had suffered great losses during the second world war it had a strong position in 1945: Soviet troops controlled the major parts of East Europe. USA was the single Great Power that had almost not been directly affected by the war. It had also built a big industry and was the only country in the world to have nuclear weapons at the end of world war II. Only a couple of years later, the USSR had them too. The USA and the USSR had both become SuperPowers. The Iron Curtain was a fact and in 1948 the American writer Walter Lippmann introduced the concept "Cold War". [ Top ] The Deterioration (1991-2004) The 1980s were the decade of capitalism. The rich made more money than ever and the poor became poorer. This trend continued into the early 1990s. The early 1990s also meant the fall of the Soviet Union and for many it meant the end of communism. The USA rejoiced; capitalism had "won" over communism. The Russian reform to market econonomy that begun in the beginning of the 1990s yet didn't turn out as intended. Even though they had recieved monetary support from the West, in the mid 1990s the situation was worse than before the reforms. In an effort to solve their social/economical problems Russia began to sell out their weaponry, mostly tanks, aircraft and similar, but also many nuclear weapons. Most of them went to China and Middle-East countries. Probably all of them didn't stop here, but were sold on to various terrorist organizations throughout the world. This passed unnoticed by the West, which at the moment were beginning to have troubles of their own. When the communist enemy in the east no longer existed, the USA suddenly couldn't hide its internal problems with thousands of homeless, drug problems and conflicts between the rich and poor. In 1998 several major conflicts had already arisen. The majority of urban areas were becoming what only could be described zones of civil war. Loss of a working infrastructure and repeating losses of electricity brought the american economy to a standstill, and soon it broke down completly entering its final depression, and bringing the European Union with it. In the beginning of the twenty-first century, both US an Russian governments stood with countries out of control. So, in feburary 2004, when a terrorist organization declared that they were in possession of nuclear weapons, and intended to use them if they didn't get their demands fulfilled, it was the beginning of the end. Exactly what their demands were is at present date unknown, as the classified material was lost. But the speculation has it that there were no "real" demands and that, in fact, the terrorists reached their goal: destruction. In march 2004, a united russian-american effort was made to overpower the terrorists. They failed. As a revenge, the terrorists fired. Around 50 missiles were from mid-europe, 163 from the USA, and an unknown number from Russia. Destination: China. Before any contact could be established, the response came. Calling it a war would be wrong, three hours of of global destruction would be a more accurate description. The 19th of March 2004 was named D-day. "D" for destruction. [ Top ] After D-day (2005-2037) 20 march 2004. 450 million people were killed in the direct attacks. The world enters the nuclear winter. Civilization comes to a standstill, if not a total fallback. During the years after the D-day, massive storms, due to the rapid climatic changes, raged the equatorial regions of the earth, spreading radioactive dust from the northern hemisphere to the southern hemisphere, who had been spared the direct attacks, but now suffered the consequences of something they had not been involved in. In the years 2005-2010, a total of around 2.5 billion people were estimated to have been killed as a direct, or indirect cause of the events of D-day. Former borders between countries had ceased to exist and all attempts to government control was in vain. The only organizations that existed, or rather, the only thought to exist, were violent small gangs, consisting of 10-15 people, roaming around the ruins in search of food and valuables. This was the situation unchanged for another 17 years. [ Top ] The Forming of MultiCorporations (2038-2079) In 2038, events took another turn, as the first MultiCorporation, Thorwald Industries, was formed. A powerful organziation designed by a defector from a previous unknown organization of scientists, SPOK. SPOK (Scientists for Preservation Of Knowledge), was formed in the USA in 2001, by a group of scientists, seeing the need for an outpost which could preserve science and knowledge of the past to the future. This organization grew very large and powerful in the beginning of the 21st century, but managed to keep itself hidden to and seprated from the public. It had also remained intact, and managed to prevent abuse of the gathered knowledge, that is until now. Thorwald, previous scientist had in the late 2020s seen the possibilities of a powerful organization, that with science could control the now scattered and disorganized public. The leaders of SPOK hadn't approved of the idea with the vague notion that "science should serve, not control people". Thorwald is said to have left the room disappointed, gathered a few scientist colleages that agreed with him and dropped out of SPOK and vanished. Nine years later Thorwald Industries saw the light of day and for five years it was the unrivalled power, taking charge of Law enforcment, first in former USA, but soon all over the globe. In 2043 the second Multicorporation was founded. It was Hitchhikers Inc, controlled by another dropout from SPOK: Birinair. It was formed as a counterweight to the rather violent methods of Thorwald Industries, and concentrated on more neutral applications of science and technology. Of course these organizations were not approved at all by the large parts of the public, mostly the ones that bashed heads to make a point. But it would take until 2058 until they organized themselves into what soon became the Jetscreamers gang. This violent, outlaw organization had as a main purpose, that is, besides terrorizing the public, to overthrow Thorwald Industries and after that the rest of the MultiCorporations. This they had an awful lot of trouble, mostly due to the fact that they didn't care much about organized attacks and planned assaults. Add to it that they didn't have the technological knowledge and power of the Multi- Corporations, so their attacks seldom led to anything but damage to themselves and the innocent bystanders. As an answer to the raw force of the Jetscreamers, the Hackers gang was formed officially in 2069. The members were of a more intellectual breed than the Jetscreamers. They had silently been aquiring greater and greater technological information and equipment. This had been accomplished both by breaking into MultiCorporate computers and by their own investigative minds. The rumours have it that they are supported by a Multicorporation, with funding and information. [ Top ] The GMC War (2080-2086) At the end of the 2070s the Hackers and the Jetscreamers were, at the Hackers initiative, discussing joining forces to use each others abilities against the MultiCorporations. In 2079 the unofficial agreement was complete and the Hackers began sketching the plan for the first (and up to date, the only) organized attemt to overpower the MC:s. In 2080 the first GMC (Gangs versus MultiCorporation) war was a fact. The strategies and tactics of these wars can be studied fully in documents concerning the GMC wars, but it can briefly be said that the majority of the attacks followed the same principle: the Hackers jam the defense systems of the MCC's (MultiCorporation Computer), and then the doors were open for the Jetscreamers to rampage through the MC buildings. This war raged in just over six years and seriouly damaged the Multi- Corporations. Much devolepment was delayed and much data and material destroyed. This could have been a victory for the gangs if it weren't for the ammount of vast losses for the Jetscreamers gang after Thorwald Industries introduced a new defence robot. This annoyed the Jetscreamer leaders a lot and they began to blame the Hackers for not forseeing this and taking suitable precautions. It is also fact that only three percent of the casualties in the GMC war were Hackers. This soon led to the breaking of the Hackers-Jetscreamers cooperation and in the year 2086 the world saw the end of the war. [ Top ] The GangWars (2087-2125) Since the closing of the 2079-agreement, no Jetscreamer had trusted a Hacker and vice versa. So, when, in the late 2080s and the beginning of the 2090s, random kills were made of highranked people of both gangs it was natural to blame the other gang for the deaths, although both sides denied to have anything to do with them. It has been speculated that it was the MC's that were behind the killings to use the distrust to start war between the gangs. If so was the fact, they succeeded. In 2092 the distrust led to the first GangWar. This was a brutal war with people being killed everywhere, on the streets, in their homes and even in their beds. This senseless war didn't end until after six years and great losses on both sides. It should be pointed out that no winner came out of this war and it didn't really end either. It only died out. The only gain might have been for the Hackers who finally had to learn how to handle weapons, and also invented a row of new ingenious weapons also. The peace that came lasted over to the new century, but only for six years thereafter. In 2106 a new GangWar broke out. It didn't by far match the brutality of the first, but still, once again people were not safe anywhere. The Hackers had come up with new tracking devices and bio- implants were no longer hard to get hold of. This "Slow War" was efficient and didn't tear on either side, with the consequence that it could have lasted forever. The big losers of this second GangWar were the public, who didn't directly participate in the war, but still suffered severely. This is why, in 2117, Thorwald Industries launched their RLE Implant, and formed a special taskforce called the SPI. SPI's goal was to keep the amout of killing at a "reasonable rate" and to "uphold Law and Order, at any cost". The principle was simple. Rangers, ordinary people, who by free will received the RLE Implant, secretly infiltrated both gangs and keep their eyes and ears open. When orders come from above to terminate a disturbing element, so is done, without questioning. Exactly how many Rangers there are and how they are organized is unknown to present date. It is thought that Thorwald Industries still is the major power behind the SPI, but that is merly a guess and it is fully possible that the SPI has broken loose and become a totally independant organization. If you become a Ranger, you stay a Ranger for the rest of your life. The RLE was designed to be nonremovable. The introduction of SPI marked an official end of the second GangWar, but the last eight years have been everything but calm. There is still a Jetscreamers-Hackers conflict, although not as tense as ten, fifteen years ago. There is speculation that they are once again gathering together for a strike against the MC's, but others mean that we are about to enter the third GangWar. Both these theories are uncertain and as always, only future will tell. [ Top ] Post-War Era (2125-2201) The SPI Rangers goal of keeping the kill rate to a bare minimum was accomplished. During the seventy-five years that they were to keep law and order the gangs were afraid to begin another war on both themselves and the MC's. The gangs kept to themselves and for once there was no killing among them. They stayed within there own territory contemplating there next move. As a result they were able to study, learn, and experiment with new technology. Technology that the gangs had stolen from the MC's. The gangs were able to infiltrate the MC's, with spys, and steal the new weapon and armour technology that had been developed by the MC's scientists. It was not until much later that the heads of the MC's found out about these so called infiltrations. From their new found technology, the gangs were able to set up elaborate headquarters for their experiments. They were able to manufacture newer, better, and more efficient weapons and armour. Unknown to their rivals, the MC's and the SPI Rangers, this new technology was to help the gangs gain strength and power. In the year 2175, however, the SPI Rangers began to mysteriously disappear one by one. Noone knew what was happening to them, not the MC's or the JS and Hacker gangs. However, the two gangs saw this as a good sign. They were now free to roam the earth without worrying about the SPI Rangers getting them. The SPI Rangers were officially disbanded in the year 2188 A.D. [ Top ] Fall of the Multicorporations (2202-2350) With the SPI Rangers mysteriously gone and the growing strength and power of the gangs, the MC's were at a disadvantage. The gangs began to wreak havock on the poor citizens of the world. They began killing and stealing from the innocent. The gangs began to accumulate great wealth. The citizens began to pay off the gangs for protection, an ancient practice dating back to the early days of the Japan Dynasties. With their accumulated wealth, the gangs began to recruit scientists from all over the world to help them advance their weapon and armour technology. These scientists were recruited from the great and once powerful empires of the MC's. It was not long before the Thorwald and Birinair Corporations were to fall at the mercy of the gangs. The gangs gained full access to all of the fallen corporations' files and databases. They now had something new to experiment with, bio-genetic engineering! Bio-genetics were something new to the gangs and their scientists. Most of their first experiments were to go very wrong. The scientist thought that the best way to test their advancing tecnology was to experiment with live human beings. These experiments soon proved to be uncontrolled and the living subjects were mutated into disgusting and vile creatures. These mutants were to become very strong, through steroid implants, and they soon ran wild. There was nothing that the gang members or their scientists could do to stop them. These creatures were too strong to control and they soon began to reproduce at a very high rate of speed and success. The mutants still had their memories of their lives as normal human-beings, so they stole some of the weapons and armour developed by the gangs. Unfortunatly they did not have the intelligence to reproduce such great and powerful objects. Some of the scientists from the old multicorporations were able to survive the slaughters brought by the gangs, and they went into hiding. They began setting up small and discreet multicorporations of their own but to no avail. The gangs were just too powerful. However, some of the gangs began having trouble within their respective organizations. There was no leadership and every one began to fight among themselves for control over their gangs. They set out to prove their strenght by going on killing sprees in the many cities across the world. Some of these 'outlaw' gang members became very powerful by them- selves and the gangs began to feel threatened. Outlaws such as Julius and Barkley became hunters of every living thing. [ Top ] Second Generation GangWars (2351-2410) Since the beginning of time, it has always been said that history repeats itself. Not since the year 2087 A.D had the world been engulfed in a gangwar. However, when the Multicorporations fell, new gangs came to be. The intro- duction of the Inquisitors was to be something that the Jet Screamers and the Hackers had never fathomed. They were now met by a new advesary. The Inq's were to be more technologically advanced than the two father gangs and the JS and Hacker gangs were to see their sudden demise. Because the Inq's had more to offer as far as technology and power, the JS and Hackers began to lose some of their strongest members, the 'Veterans', yet they did not lose them all. Not long after the Inquisitors came to be a gang 'superpower' yet another gang came into existence. A guru from the other side of the globe, a master in the Martial Arts by the name of Menta, began to recruit heavily for his organization. The 'Tenno' were to become the masters of the subconsious and they grew in numbers and power. There was now yet another worthy adversary in the gangwars. The gangs began to fight for territory and a massive loss of life was to occur. The gangs began killing each other without reason or hesitation. [ Top ] Resurrection of the Multicorporations (2411-Present) While the gangs were busy fighting for control of the world some of the most advanced and ingenious scientific minds began to defect from an unknown land called Sweden. They noticed that the newly active gangwars were their chance to bring back the powerful Multicorporations. They began to work and build their empires as black market corporations. However only two of these great scientific minds were to ever succeed, Poldark and Draconian. Unknown to each other at the time the went on to build their own individual empires. They recruited other scientists from all over the world so that they could advance their technology to unheard of limits. They devised an old system of scientific experimentation, the Think Tank system. With their leadership in place and their organization absolutly perfect they tapped into the world of 'Cyberspace'. After a period of twenty-two years, these two corporations were to collide with one another. Poldark's corporation, PolPink, and Draconian's corporation, General Code & Debug Utilities, were to begin a fight for power. However, an understanding between the two corporations was met, one could not survive without the other. So a merge came into effect, and the two formed a new Multicorporation. They shared equal power and responsibility and they took control of the gangwars. As a result the gangs were placed under martial law. There was to be no killing at anytime by anyone. The 'NukeDome' was constructed so that disputes could be settled fairly. But the killing continued and the 'NukeDome' was demolished. The Multicorporation then passed another law that seemed to work very well. Those members of each gang that wanted to still keep the spirit of the fighting and killing of the gangwars alive, were registered as 'outlaws'. This idea was derived from the old outlaw behavior of Julius and Barkley. Now that the gangs were under control a new passive gang was born. The Undergrounders Society was founded. The people of this society had been in hiding, deep in the sewers beneath the cities, and they now felt that they were safe to expose themselves to the world once again. They despise the outlaws and are always wary of there activities. Therefore the UG's are very cautious when an 'unknown' applies to their society. [ Top ]

Resurrection of the Multicorporations The Cold War (1945-1990) After the second worldwar the USA and the Soviet Union emerged as the two dominating states of the world. German, Italy and Japan were defeated; France and Great Britan were severly weakend. Although the Soviet Union had suffered great losses during the second world war it had a strong position in 1945: Soviet troops controlled the major parts of East Europe. USA was the single Great Power that had almost not been directly affected by the war. It had also built a big industry and was the only country in the world to have nuclear weapons at the end of world war II. Only a couple of years later, the USSR had them too. The USA and the USSR had both become SuperPowers. The Iron Curtain was a fact and in 1948 the American writer Walter Lippmann introduced the concept "Cold War". [ Top ] The Deterioration (1991-2004) The 1980s were the decade of capitalism. The rich made more money than ever and the poor became poorer. This trend continued into the early 1990s. The early 1990s also meant the fall of the Soviet Union and for many it meant the end of communism. The USA rejoiced; capitalism had "won" over communism. The Russian reform to market econonomy that begun in the beginning of the 1990s yet didn't turn out as intended. Even though they had recieved monetary support from the West, in the mid 1990s the situation was worse than before the reforms. In an effort to solve their social/economical problems Russia began to sell out their weaponry, mostly tanks, aircraft and similar, but also many nuclear weapons. Most of them went to China and Middle-East countries. Probably all of them didn't stop here, but were sold on to various terrorist organizations throughout the world. This passed unnoticed by the West, which at the moment were beginning to have troubles of their own. When the communist enemy in the east no longer existed, the USA suddenly couldn't hide its internal problems with thousands of homeless, drug problems and conflicts between the rich and poor. In 1998 several major conflicts had already arisen. The majority of urban areas were becoming what only could be described zones of civil war. Loss of a working infrastructure and repeating losses of electricity brought the american economy to a standstill, and soon it broke down completly entering its final depression, and bringing the European Union with it. In the beginning of the twenty-first century, both US an Russian governments stood with countries out of control. So, in feburary 2004, when a terrorist organization declared that they were in possession of nuclear weapons, and intended to use them if they didn't get their demands fulfilled, it was the beginning of the end. Exactly what their demands were is at present date unknown, as the classified material was lost. But the speculation has it that there were no "real" demands and that, in fact, the terrorists reached their goal: destruction. In march 2004, a united russian-american effort was made to overpower the terrorists. They failed. As a revenge, the terrorists fired. Around 50 missiles were from mid-europe, 163 from the USA, and an unknown number from Russia. Destination: China. Before any contact could be established, the response came. Calling it a war would be wrong, three hours of of global destruction would be a more accurate description. The 19th of March 2004 was named D-day. "D" for destruction. [ Top ] After D-day (2005-2037) 20 march 2004. 450 million people were killed in the direct attacks. The world enters the nuclear winter. Civilization comes to a standstill, if not a total fallback. During the years after the D-day, massive storms, due to the rapid climatic changes, raged the equatorial regions of the earth, spreading radioactive dust from the northern hemisphere to the southern hemisphere, who had been spared the direct attacks, but now suffered the consequences of something they had not been involved in. In the years 2005-2010, a total of around 2.5 billion people were estimated to have been killed as a direct, or indirect cause of the events of D-day. Former borders between countries had ceased to exist and all attempts to government control was in vain. The only organizations that existed, or rather, the only thought to exist, were violent small gangs, consisting of 10-15 people, roaming around the ruins in search of food and valuables. This was the situation unchanged for another 17 years. [ Top ] The Forming of MultiCorporations (2038-2079) In 2038, events took another turn, as the first MultiCorporation, Thorwald Industries, was formed. A powerful organziation designed by a defector from a previous unknown organization of scientists, SPOK.

[ Top ] Fall of the Multicorporations (2202-2350) With the SPI Rangers mysteriously gone and the growing strength and power of the gangs, the MC's were at a disadvantage. The gangs began to wreak havock on the poor citizens of the world. They began killing and stealing from the innocent. The gangs began to accumulate great wealth. The citizens began to pay off the gangs for protection, an ancient practice dating back to the early days of the Japan Dynasties. With their accumulated wealth, the gangs began to recruit scientists from all over the world to help them advance their weapon and armour technology. These scientists were recruited from the great and once powerful empires of the MC's. It was not long before the Thorwald and Birinair Corporations were to fall at the mercy of the gangs. The gangs gained full access to all of the fallen corporations' files and databases. They now had something new to experiment with, bio-genetic engineering! Bio-genetics were something new to the gangs and their scientists. Most of their first experiments were to go very wrong. The scientist thought that the best way to test their advancing tecnology was to experiment with live human beings. These experiments soon proved to be uncontrolled and the living subjects were mutated into disgusting and vile creatures. These mutants were to become very strong, through steroid implants, and they soon ran wild. There was nothing that the gang members or their scientists could do to stop them. These creatures were too strong to control and they soon began to reproduce at a very high rate of speed and success. The mutants still had their memories of their lives as normal human-beings, so they stole some of the weapons and armour developed by the gangs. Unfortunatly they did not have the intelligence to reproduce such great and powerful objects. Some of the scientists from the old multicorporations were able to survive the slaughters brought by the gangs, and they went into hiding. They began setting up small and discreet multicorporations of their own but to no avail. The gangs were just too powerful. However, some of the gangs began having trouble within their respective organizations. There was no leadership and every one began to fight among themselves for control over their gangs. They set out to prove their strenght by going on killing sprees in the many cities across the world. Some of these 'outlaw' gang members became very powerful by them- selves and the gangs began to feel threatened. Outlaws such as Julius and Barkley became hunters of every living thing. [ Top ] Second Generation GangWars (2351-2410) Since the beginning of time, it has always been said that history repeats itself. Not since the year 2087 A.D had the world been engulfed in a gangwar. However, when the Multicorporations fell, new gangs came to be. The intro- duction of the Inquisitors was to be something that the Jet Screamers and the Hackers had never fathomed. They were now met by a new advesary. The Inq's were to be more technologically advanced than the two father gangs and the JS and Hacker gangs were to see their sudden demise. Because the Inq's had more to offer as far as technology and power, the JS and Hackers began to lose some of their strongest members, the 'Veterans', yet they did not lose them all. Not long after the Inquisitors came to be a gang 'superpower' yet another gang came into existence. A guru from the other side of the globe, a master in the Martial Arts by the name of Menta, began to recruit heavily for his organization. The 'Tenno' were to become the masters of the subconsious and they grew in numbers and power. There was now yet another worthy adversary in the gangwars. The gangs began to fight for territory and a massive loss of life was to occur. The gangs began killing each other without reason or hesitation. [ Top ] Resurrection of the Multicorporations (2411-Present) While the gangs were busy fighting for control of the world some of the most advanced and ingenious scientific minds began to defect from an unknown land called Sweden. They noticed that the newly active gangwars were their chance to bring back the powerful Multicorporations. They began to work and build their empires as black market corporations. However only two of these great scientific minds were to ever succeed, Poldark and Draconian. Unknown to each other at the time the went on to build their own individual empires. They recruited other scientists from all over the world so that they could advance their technology to unheard of limits. They devised an old system of scientific experimentation, the Think Tank system. With their leadership in place and their organization absolutly perfect they tapped into the world of 'Cyberspace'. After a period of twenty-two years, these two corporations were to collide with one another. Poldark's corporation, PolPink, and Draconian's corporation, General Code & Debug Utilities, were to begin a fight for power. However, an understanding between the two corporations was met, one could not survive without the other. So a merge came into effect, and the two formed a new Multicorporation. They shared equal power and responsibility and they took control of the gangwars. As a result the gangs were placed under martial law. There was to be no killing at anytime by anyone. The 'NukeDome' was constructed so that disputes could be settled fairly. But the killing continued and the 'NukeDome' was demolished. The Multicorporation then passed another law that seemed to work very well. Those members of each gang that wanted to still keep the spirit of the fighting and killing of the gangwars alive, were registered as 'outlaws'. This idea was derived from the old outlaw behavior of Julius and Barkley. Now that the gangs were under control a new passive gang was born. The Undergrounders Society was founded. The people of this society had been in hiding, deep in the sewers beneath the cities, and they now felt that they were safe to expose themselves to the world once again. They despise the outlaws and are always wary of there activities. Therefore the UG's are very cautious when an 'unknown' applies to their society. [ Top ]
