200 Years(1900-2100)!

[xie323]

Inspired by the classic 100 year: The World Changes and ArKhan's 50 years timeline, both of which has died down, I think we need a new collab timeline. The butterfly effect will be used in full, which means that anyone born more than 9 months after Jan 1st 1900 (in other words, September) can have different deaths, or do different things. This also means a number of fictional characters who did not exist in OTL will show up and make their marks on history and some deaths will be averted.

The timeline will start at the dawn of the 20th century, and go to the farthest reaches of the 21st century....

Now, let us begin!

January 1st, 1900: People celebrated the dawning of a new century and a new era, a golden age of technology-based prosperity, reason in human conduct, an end to war, and remarkable advancement of all mankind. Little do they know that the years to come will take them on a wildly different path.

March 23, 1900: Death of Queen Victoria of Britain after 62 years of rule.

September 14, 1901: William McKinley, 25th President of the United States survives an assassination attempt on his life by anarchist Leon Czolgosz

NOTE: At the moment the rest of the century aside from the 1900s is locked. The events can remain as they are atm through, but you cannot edit them until I lock the 1900s.

Interesting idea, but TBH, mass-produced hybrids are probably not going to happen early on.....may I speculate?

Aug. 7, 1946: The Tesla Motor Company unveils the Dynamic, a Gasoline/Electric Hybrid automobile. It's a hit and sells until 1964.

Sep. 25th, 1978: The Tesla Motor Company unveils the Lightning, an Ethanol/Electric Hybrid super sports car. Though reliable and fast, It does not sell well and will be discontinued in the summer of 1984.

Apr. 4th, 1966: The Tesla Motor Company unveils the Thunderbolt, a groundbreaking Steam/Electric Hybrid automobile. Production is halted in December 1966 after a tornado hits their South Chicago factory but resumes in September of the following year. Production stops again in October 1974 while the company goes thru restructuring. The Mark III is made until 1979, and had 250 horsepower in it's final incarnation.

I thought we where still on 1900, and I intended those events to happen in that decade.

Maybe, but I still don't think mass-production of these types of cars, even on a small scale, could happen until sometime around, oh, I don't know, 1940 or so.

Even the Lohner-Porsche, perhaps the most successful early prototype hybrid IOTL, only saw a handful of units manufactured, for a variety of reasons.

Here's a replacement post for Tesla Motors, by the way-

April, 1908: Nikola Tesla builds a trio of primitive hybrid electrics, one gasoline, one steam, and another ethanol. Though they generate some welcome buzz at the 1908 New York auto show, none of them enter mass production; it was determined that the Tesla Company would have lost a couple hundred dollars' worth of profit for every single unit produced. Tesla does build a few more of these one-offs over the next 30 years due to his continued interest, but it won't be until 1946, with the introduction of the Dynamic, that the first successfully mass-produced hybrid is born.
