Description
The two World Wars which so rocked our world were averted when the 'Cosmic Cannon' was invented. The Cannon allowed for a large space ship to be rocketed forth to the moon. The Moon, here, is a lush world filled with oxygen and water (though the grass is a grayish white), and few dangerous predators (except underground, with giant jelly-fish looking things that have teeth and hairy goblin looking creatures that were actually fooling around with stone tools but humans avoided going there anyway). By 1910, initial humans settlements had started up. By 1920, the scramble for the Moon was underway. This time, the colonial players were different. France and Britain were early competitors, but American, Japan, and Germany were the biggest colonizers.

Back on Earth, there were some important wars on the early 20th century. Russia still had a Communist revolution, and in the '40s a Restored Chinese Empire kicked out the Japanese. Imperial Germany became close with Imperial China in the '50s, as the Chinese Dragon roared back onto the world stage (and just barely picked up the last bit of unclaimed land on the Moon). The Japanese are anxious to reestablish supremacy over the Chinese, and the Americans have absolute supremacy over the other American republics. The British Commonwealth is a bit like an Alliance nowadays, tighter than our Commonwealth. The French are a bit more centralized, and still sometimes step in to ensure the Pro-French elites in their parts of Africa remain in power.

With the advent of Nuclear technology 18 years ago, the world stands on the brink of annihilation. The Germano-Chinese Alliance threatens Britain, France, Japan, and Russia. America is still a bit isolationist, though its coming closer to bring the Latin Republics to the South into becoming full states. Civil Rights has been less of an important issue (though as time goes by, people are still becoming more accepting of other races). Right now, the world is captivated by the gruesome wars going on in Burma and Indochina between Chinese-backed rebels and the British and French (now drawing more and more heavily on Japanese support, the French are thinking of just giving the Japanese Indochina).
