===== Welcome to the official Twilight of the Anthropocene Wiki! =====

=== Twilight of the Anthropocene is an Alternative History Mod for the game, Hearts of Iron IV. ===

The year is 2021, and a new era for humanity looms on the horizon, but how human this new era will be is unknown.

This timeline consists of two major Points of Divergence:

=== 1905 ===
  * Following on from his patent of the AND-logic circuit element, Nikola Tesla experiments further and develops the first proto-transistor. While it takes a while for this technology to be utilised, its first use-case is in the sporadic adoption of desktop calculator units during the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_World_War_I|First World War]], primarily for assistance in artillery calculations. This is just the start in the development of [[Computing|computing technology]]. Further adoption and iteration from this point on facilitates a significant shift in teh technological capabilities of humanity by the 2020s.

=== 1943 ===
  * The plane containing Fuhrer Adolf Hitler explodes on its way back from Smolensk, signalling the last moments of a unified German war effort. Instead of a rush to Berlin, the European front of WWII becomes a quagmire of ardent Nazi resistance, rampant German defections and insubordination, dog-eat-dog hostilities, and the culmination of the Western portion of the war via nation-rebuilding by the Allies, resulting in the three-way split of Germany into the [[Republic of Westphalia]], the [[Prussian Democratic Republic]], and the [[Republic of Danubia]]. In the East, despite many successes in defending its Pacific territories, [[Japan|the Japanese Empire]] is able to see the writing on the wall and makes moves towards a separate peace, ensuring the security of its holdings in [[Japan#Taiwan|Taiwan]], [[Korea]], and [[Manchukuo]].

By the 2020s, futuristic technologies - those that science-fiction writers could only dream of decades ago - are now a facet of everyday life: [[Smart Technology#Mobile Phones|pocket-sized supercomputers]]; holiday adventures to [[Space Exploration#Luna|the Moon]]; integrated phygital interfaces mark [[Smart Technology#Smart Cities|“Smart Cities”]] the world over; [[Alternetics#Cybernetics|cybernetic]] and [[Alternetics#Genetics|genetic alterations]] as the fashions-de-jour; [[Smart Technology#Robotics|robotized police and military units]]; and [[Space Exploration#Astro-Mining|new opportunities of resource extraction]] found in the capture and mining of asteroids in [[Space Exploration#Mars|Martian orbit]]. Many are beginning to question if humanity will make it out of the near-future, and if we'll even be recognizable as human if we do.

Though both geopolitics and technology are both exceedingly interesting and unfamiliar, [[Government Structure|Statecraft]] and [[Ideology]] are give or take the same as in OTL; our pages on these 2 will show you what is the same, Market Liberalism, and the little flowers of TotA's politics, Anocratic Dirigisme, please fly on by!
