Yellowstone: 1936

Hello and welcome to the portal page of the Yellowstone: 1936 ATL. This timeline explores what happens when the Supervolcano Yellowstone erupts, ending life and civilisation as we knew it.

This will become a "live" timeline once nations are completely fleshed out and the background is completely set. This will mean it will unfold NOW - in the present.

This is a collaborative timeline. Anyone wishing to edit should state so on the talkpage and when making articles have the Under Construction template on the article. This is of paramount importance.

Background
Our point of divergence is in 1936. The world is in a Depression, Fascism is on the rise. Dust storms are making life hard for so many of those pioneers who migrated westward in the search of new lands and a new beginning. Hitler begins to rearm his nation, the Japanese begin to threaten the Chinese border. People don't think it can get any worse. They were wrong...

They did not know that under North America, pressures had begun to rise once more as the lava chambers began to become overly active once more. The ground began to shake, earthquakes began to be set off. Geologists flocked to the site and at once knew what was going to happen. What would happen next would change the way people lived their lives and altering what would have happened to the planet.

A few days later, on the 18th of July, Yellowstone would erupt.

More to come.

Recent Developments
This is all to do with the construction of the Community TL.

17th November: Problems with Russia have now been majorly worked out and the timeline should be able to resume at a good pace. However, two well established users have left the timeline. We wish them good luck and hope they one day return to the timeline. A map of Britannia will be up soon too. ~Imp

16th November: Wow, two in one day. Seeing all these problems with the timeline emerge - Imp has a proposal. Instead of trying to work up to modern day for now, we cut our losses and put the TL date at 1973. Not only will this make page development easier, it will allow for users to create smaller states which would have otherwise never existed due to the fact they will be swallowed up. Discussion on talk page. ~Imp

16th November: The next Canon articles are close to being graduated. We are also delighted to be growing at such a good rate currently and we continue to hope the good work goes on. There is now canon in place with a recommended guide for beginners. All problems should be highlighted on the main talk page. Thank you! ~Imp

9th November. Work on the major articles such as the Great Chaos and the Great Exodus are scheduled to begin for today and tomorrow. I would also like to express extreme pride in the growth of this timeline. Keep at it. ~Imp

8th November: Please add all your ideas for the general timeline to the this talk page so it can be discussed and agreed upon. Then we can easily write the overview timeline and eventually the full timeline from that framework. Mscoree (talk)

7th November: Created the first draft for the navbox template. I'm open for suggestions on the color and links. This template should be added to the bottom of all Yellowstone pages. Mscoree (talk)

6th November: Work on the page for the timeline has now been laid down and although it will be added upon, it is sufficiently complete to be used a basis to write about the climate and base your nation's climate on it. Another heading should be added soon! ~Imp
