Inspired by Mike Stearns' scheme of launching the American Revolution "150 years early", the Committees of Correspondence, based on the original organized bodies from the revolution, are one of the first institutions influencing European thought and the neo-historical developments. Headed by Gretchen Richter, the Committees start from a seed population in Jena that was planted in 1632 even as the Americans march to their second deliberate battle in defense of a community of Greater Thuringia, Germany. These committees spread throughout Europe, playing a large role in the liberation of Hamburg in 1634.

abstract	Inspired by Mike Stearns' scheme of launching the American Revolution "150 years early", the Committees of Correspondence, based on the original organized bodies from the revolution, are one of the first institutions influencing European thought and the neo-historical developments. Headed by Gretchen Richter, the Committees start from a seed population in Jena that was planted in 1632 even as the Americans march to their second deliberate battle in defense of a community of Greater Thuringia, Germany. These committees spread throughout Europe, playing a large role in the liberation of Hamburg in 1634. The Committees were, in general, advocates of up-time notions of public health and sanitation. In areas where the local Committee was strong, actions such as dumping a chamberpot on the street could lead to a beating from CoC "enforcers". Furthermore, a special CoC unit created by one of the central organizers of the CoC, Gunther Achterhof, was assigned to protect important individuals such as Mike Stearns and Admiral John Simpson from assassinations. In the abstract, the Committees were seen with fear by the European nobility. However, the Committees in some outlying areas were small and largely ineffectual. For example, the Committee in Venice was essentially the extended Marcoli family and their slow-witted handyman Marius Pontigrazzi. In 1635, in the wake of the "Dreeson Incident", the CoC was influential in eradicating anti-Semitism in the United States of Europe during Operation Kristallnacht. This eradication led to the CoC to becoming more powerful in some regions of the USE.
