 * 1861 - By what was most likely an unfortunate coincidence, military activity near the Muscovic borders of the Romans, Mongols and Ottomans increased suddenly in the respective nations. Muscovy logically, but incorrectly, assumed that they had formed an alliance against it and so acted preemptively by attacking the Ottoman Empire in full force. The Mongols immediately moved to defend its ally, whose military was only just able to slow the Muscovic advance.
 * 1862 - The Romans, worried about the Mongol border drawing steadily closer, enacted a plan they had been preparing for a decade now in case of just this situation. They began to conquer their own Muscovic territory whilst they used their new Deliquium single-wing aircraft to drop Mayan incendiary bombs on strategic Muscovic bases and cities ahead of the Mongol advance. Essentially they were "indirectly" weakening the Mongol's new territories, while at the same time slowing the hordes advance

 * 1883 - Marcus Artifex puts forward his proofs in his paper "Wave-Particle Duality and the Relation of Eletriki and Photos Atoms" to the Imperial Society of Science. The next year he is awarded a second Tropaeum Intellecto (Monument for Intellect), the only person to make such an achievement
 * 1885 - Realizing he is near death, Emperor Alexander XIV sets his mind to ending his rule as "memorably" as possible, since he was always infertile and frowned upon adoption, thereby leaving him no heir and putting an end to the greatest dynasty the world had ever seen. He personally visits the Ottoman Sultan, Ahmed V, a visit which leads into the signing of the Treaty of Mecca-Rome. This agreement, states, not only, that the Muslim and Christian worlds shall never be at war (permanently putting an end to the religious wars of the last millennium) and that the Roman and Ottoman Empires have an agreement of open-borders and to relations working to maintain peace. Alexander dies shortly after returning to Rome and is buried in his astounding Mausoleum north of Rome, a 200 acre collection of structures nearly equivalent to a city in scale. The Discateria and Curia Episcopates meet to elect a new emperor. Pakus Martinex Rullianus Juvenis, Viceroy of Byzantium and general in the Muscovik conquest, is appropriately dubbed Emperor Pontifex
 * 1886 - The Roman Viceroy of Swahilium sends spies to the Incan colonies in Sub-Saharan Africa to determine how they are so successful in this disease ridden part of the world

 * 1893 - Lucius Carus Darvus is the only spy to return to Swahilium. He describes how he snuck into an Incan hospital (which are not open to foreigners) and how he observed doctors giving many injections to infants. He, correctly, believes this to be the source of their immunity

 * 1906 - A Mayan aircraft propelled entirely by liquid fuel travels safely from the mainland to the island of Xamayca
 * 1908 - The Mayans and Romans begin Project Aetna. Massive funding from both sides goes into the creation of more practical Sifocaeli (jet planes) on the island of Sicily. This is due to its numerous Hydrogen Plants
 * 1909 - Mayan pilot breaks the sound barrier
 * 1911 - Mongol scientists combine the technology of the Mayan "maxim" gun; artillery and combustion engine to create an armored behemoth, similar in design, but greater in scale, to the Roman Testudo
 * 1913 - Experiments involving "lethal metals" is banned by the Romans, Mayans and Japanese due to several deaths attributed to exposure to those substances

Emperor Sulla II states that he himself witnessed the Miraculum Solaris while walking in the Imperial Gardens. This event steps up the current cultural resurgence of religiosity among the Philosophers and the rich of the Empire, as is particularly evident in all the religious themed media of the time. Picturitati (movies) are especially affected
 * 1918 - Roman power output becomes roughly on par with that of the OTL United States and European Union from 1980, combined

 * 1928 - The Incans and Mongols together form an Allied Coalition to contain the power of Rome, Maya and Japan. Every nation excepting the Zulus, Ottomans and Khmerians, join the coalition
 * 1929 - Treaty of Melita. The Heads of State for the Roman, Mayan and Japanese Empires meet together to begin the formation of a unified world military force, the Viris Mundi (Global Powers or Powers of the World). The Allied Coalition, obviously, takes this as an aggressive action towards its members and acts preemptively of opposing action. The Golden Horde is quickly flung at Japan's Korean holdings and the Incans launch a full scale biological war in South Columbia and Sub-Saharan Africa, resulting in millions of civilian deaths in the first month of the war, the Global War

*See Bellum Mundum for Events*

 * 1932 - Signing of the Treaty of the Kor'na Yasse, formally ending the Global War
 * 1933 - Members of the Global Powers meet together in the Kor'na Yasse, now known as the Praetorium Mundum. Although it is still being upgraded to their standards, it is agreed that the newly christened Praetorium Mundum, is to be the headquarters for the Foeda Terrae, an international organization with the purpose of maintaining order on Earth
 * 1933 - First mammal is cloned. Incan scientists successfully create a living clone of the llama, the nations primary domestic animal. Though it comes to much acclaim at first, by the next year the creature has already expired, doing nothing to dissuade further attempts at the process
 * 1934 - "Mind of God" computer is upgraded and expanded using modern technology. It now has a storage capacity of 3000 PenteQuadis (OTL 1500 terabytes) and a processing speed of 3.6 TetrAmbs (OTL 3.6 GHz). Roman computers utilize solid state drive and photonic integrated circuit technology
 * 1935 - Tepeu I is the first man-made satellite to enter Earth orbit. It takes a photo of Europe and relays atmospheric data back to the ground. Though the rocket technology was Mayan, the computer equipment all had to be bought off of the Romans, and so it was nowhere near on par with the Roman's latest technology
 * 1936 - Beginning of the African Plague. A strain of influenza mutated somewhere in the Roman province of Swahilium begins to spread throughout Africa. Two months after the first outbreak, the Inca have a vaccine, but neglect to make this news international
 * 1937 - Death toll from Swahili Influenza reaches 60 million. At this point the Inca finally reveal to the world their vaccine, acting as heroes to the world community
 * 1938 - Romans launch their own satellite C-1. It is placed in geostationary orbit above Carthage, showing off the superior automated technology of the Romans. Power by the sun, it is to remain in place to act as a relay station for communications from Melita to Carthage
 * 1939 - Detonation of Aztlan, the first liquid-based particle bomb (H-bomb). From this point onwards a sort of cultural rivalry begins between the Mayans and the Romans. Although it is a simultaneous arms race, and space race, there is no animosity or real danger in their competition. The driving forces behind it are the egotistical nature of both nations, with each trying to prove themselves Earth's greatest power
