We all know (or should know) the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand at Sarajevo in 1914 was the immediate trigger of World War I. But imagine a world where Ferdinand survived the assassination, and rather than invading Serbia, Austria-Hungary embargoed Serbia. The Serbians, wanting to avoid a pan-European conflict, co-operated, and the embargo was lifted in 1918, ending a four year time period where it seemed like a huge war was closer then ever.

The world exhaled at Sarajevo. Welcome to a universe where the old European monarchs of the 18th and 19th century still rule strong. The British Empire continues to tighten her grip over the world, threatening war with any country that blocks her interests. Germany, which became a Republic after the German Empire collapsed in 1991, is a possible runner-up to be a global superpower. Christian fundamentalists rule what was the United States, which was severely weakened after a civil war, then coup, then revolution, then invasion by Mexico. Now, it is known as the Christian Republic of North America. Latin America is no longer anyone's "backyard". In Turkey, a violent civil war has been raging since the late 1970s. Africa is still carved into various European colonies, as well as most of the Middle East. A Communist dictatorship rules India, Australia and Canada are still British colonies, and a large "Eurasian Union" comprises of China, Russia, Central Asia, Korea, and Japan. It, too, is vying to become a superpower. For a portal to other articles: The remainder of this article includes the Point of Divergence (POD) and a timeline up until the present.
