Well, they are the party that opposes Abortion, generally is more in favor of religious groups, supports responsible fiscal policy, tough immigration policy, and most importantly, is the opposite of progressivism. Hmph; that clarifies things. I suppose there’s a party(s) that stands for precisely the opposite of all that, then? Moreover, what became of the British Empire? Entropy seeps in and brings even the greatest powers eventually, but I’d hope that Britain has a while left before its might invariably wanes. Yes, the Democratic Party is the exact opposite. As for Britain, they will continue to rise up 1914, the will decline before losing there empire in the1960s. |

Judging by how a distinct political faction that has them a priority has arisen, it sounds to me like abortion and religiosity have become more controversial in your time, yes? Secondly, while I’m glad to hear that its best days are yet to come, why does 1914 in particular mark the stopping point in British supremacy? As for how it finally fall apart in the decades after, is it besieged by foreign competitors like Rome or fall apart due to internal division like the Mongols...or what? |

To the first one, yes, abortion has become a very hot button issue as has faith, which varies in controversy depending on the faith. As per Britain, 1914 was the beginnning of the First World War. |

Heh, I suspected as much. Social standards have had lots of time to transmogrify between your time and mine, it appears.
As for this "First World War" you speak of, just how bad was it? The title implies an unprecedented scale, and you have mentioned how it contributes to the fall of the British Empire. Otherwise, not much is clear here.

So the term "First World War" was implemented after there was a Second World War, it was confined mostly to Europe and the North Atlantic, with occasional naval battles occur. Three battles had around 1 million casualties. It lasted 4 years from the time the Archduke of Austria-Hungry was assassinated in Bosnia up until the armistice on November 11th, 1918 at 11:00 AM. Disease was rampant and killed 20% of the global population. It really tips the scales on British power. The 1920s are a economic highwater point, followed by the Great Depression (Great Slump in Britain) which was followed in 1939, after Adolf Hitler's Germany invaded Poland, beginning the Second World War. Follow said war, Britain was really a second-tier power with America and the Soviet Union beginning the premier world power. |

What is medicine like in the year 2020? An entirely different beast. Doctors require 8 years of training, thanks to hygiene the plague is all but gone (For example, the UK hasn’t had a case in 108 years), polio and smallpox are eradicated, and diseases are now being eliminated within a year of there coming into existence. People now regularly live to 100 years. |

Obviously, there's no need to list all of them, so much as the critically important ones whose presence fundamentally shaped the course of history. |

Napoleon as previously mentioned, and a teenager at your time who will become a major American leader, Andrew Jackson. Another Revolutionary War veteran, James Monroe, as well. |

Seeing as you already mentioned Napoleon, what's the significance of the other two you mention? You describe them as a "major American leader" and "Revolutionary War veteran" respectively, but that doesn't tell me much about their lives and legacies in the grand scheme of things. |

You describe them as a "major American leader" and "Revolutionary War veteran" respectively, but that doesn't tell me much about their lives and legacies in the grand scheme of things. Both were US President. Per Monroe, he was the 5th US President, serving from 1817-1825, and in the 1820 Presidential Election he ran without Political Opposition. His biggest legacy was the adeptly-named Monroe Doctrine, which basically stated that the US Government would protect other American nations from foriegn colonization. He was succeded by the son of the 2nd US President, John Adams, named John Quincy Adams. Like his father, he became a one-term President after Andrew Jackson defeated him on the newly founded Democratic Party, which survives to this day. Jackson's administration saw everything from removing Indians from Georgia (not so great) to abolishing the 2nd Bank of the U.S. (pretty great). Suffrage was also expanded to all white males (over 21, I think) |

But not at the cost of Britain still reaching preeminent status without them, it seems. |

That would also go on the be the first country to put people on the moon and to develop a nuclear weapon, the colonists. |
