Overlord Timeline

Overlord Timeline
The Overlord Timeline began with the British victory in the failed American Revolutionary War. With the execution of George Washington and the other rebel leaders, the Thirteen Colonies were integrated into the dominion of Canada, the exception being Virginia. Virginia became a crown colony of King George the III.

Ten years after the war, in 1794, Sweden launched an invasion of Great Britain, quickly seizing Scotland and Quebec. By mid-1795, Sweden occupied half of the British colonies and most of England. Great Britain capitulated on November 14, 1795 with the capture and execution of King George. Sweden gained Scotland and the Thirteen Colonies. They pacified the rebellions that occurred during the war ruthlessly.

In 1797, a revolution started in France. The Imperial Front, led by Napoleon Bonaparte, declared itself the sole ruler of France and fought the Monarchists, led by King Louis the 17th, for power. Seeing an opportunity, Spain declared war on them both and marched their soldiers right into Southern France. After three years of hard fighting, with most of France occupied by Spain, the Imperials finally triumphed over the Monarchists. The French then banded together and drove the Spanish out of the country, taking Catalonia with them.

From 1800 until 1814, there was a period of unprecedented peace in Europe. But there were rising tensions in the Holy Roman Empire. The larger kingdoms were starting to assert there rule over the smaller duchies, grand duchies, and principalities. In 1814, the tension boiled over and the Holy Roman Civil War began. Prussia, Bavaria, and Austria were on one side, every other state in the Empire and Sweden were on the other. Sweden attempted a blitzkreig invasion of Prussia with their whole army. However, the Prussians repelled the Swedish and the whole Swedish army sank into the North Sea.
