First British colony established in New England.
This is my version of an alternate history for the British Empire, as it fits within the Victoriam World. Some events are *real* historical events that I’ve changed to fit the world, and the fictionalization will be marked with an asterisk.
The French go to war against the British. (This is where the history starts changing)
French King and Queen are killed in French revolution. Britain swoops in and overtakes territory.
This even marks the beginning of the construction of the city, as well as the formation of the Machinators.
Enraged by Britain's continuous attempts to spread their influence, Japan and other countries of Eastern Asia unite to fight against the British. They fought valiantly, but ultimately the might of the British forces proved too much, and Japan was defeated. East Asia was taken over by the British Empire, and placed under direct rule.
