It is important to know that this segment of "No Washington" that I will continue to write is only from 1774 to 1899. I will finish the others when I have the time.

British Imperium 1810-1899 Because George Washington died of cancer at age 19, the Continental Congress appointed multiple Generals to take important strategic positions from the British, however due to their lack of cooperation, the Continental Congress found their armies accomplishing vastly different goals and had their forces spread too thin. After the capturing and interrogating of Samuel Adams, the Continental Congress was ambushed and systematically killed by those loyal to the, once then, British Empire. Following this success, and naming the entire fiasco "Samuel's Rebellion" to make the issue seem trivial and unimportant in history, the British Empire continued to consolidate their power in the Americas. With all of North America in British hands, King Charles the Greedy conducted a ceremony for a General Joseph Charleston, who eventually assassinated the King Charles and took power as Emperor in 1810.

After re-organizing the British Empire into the British Imperium, Emperor Charleston I began taking interest in the rest of Europe. While the British Imperium continued to grow its trade capabilities, the other European powers began conspiring to destroy the Imperium.

Spain-Portugal Alliance 1804-1837 In 1804, Portugal and Spain ambassadors had intense negotiations for joining of their militaries to defend against the British Imperium. However, their chance to fight the British Imperium did not happen until Emperor Napoleon began his rise to power.

Imperial France 1820-1836 When Emperor Napoleon took power in 1820 in a relatively stable and powerful France, new changes were made for the good of the common people. Imperial France was to become a beacon of light and hope against the ever-growing British Imperium and made arrangements with the Spain-Portugal Alliance to recruit more for the cause, eventually starting the First West Hemisphere War.

Mediterranean Confederation 1850-1894 In the years following the First West Hemisphere War, the nations of Italy, The Vatican, Spain-Portugal, Greece, Turkey, Syria, and Jordan began to fear for their safety after another set of great expansions made by the British Imperium. Due to the British Imperium's Industrial Age technology, the Mediterranean nations felt that they were at a large disadvantage and began attempts at creating new weapons and defenses for their military. After nearly four decades only two breakthroughs by the Mediterranean Confederation peoples were made (the repeating musket and the horseless carriage). The British Imperium, after the same four decade period, made nearly ninety-two astonishing technological breakthroughs (and then proceeded to take any Mediterranean technologies of interest, which unfortunately, there were only two). Technological breakthroughs made by their western adversaries, the British Imperium, included the Steam Warcruiser, the Steam-powered War Engine, the Rotating Automatic Steam Cannon, and the Two-Person Cluster-Mortar.

The First West Hemisphere War 1822-1837

The Two Sides were as follows:

The Northern Powers

British Imperium, Austria-Hungary, Germany, Denmark

The Southern Powers

Spain-Portugal Alliance, Italy, The Vatican, Imperial France

After Emperor Napoleon recruited other nations to his cause, he began his invasion of the British Imperium on January 5th, 1822. The first four years went by while a war of attrition was fought by both relatively well matched sides until the British Imperium developed the Steam Cannons. Steam Cannons had a nearly four mile range compared to the old manual cannons, Steam Cannons were also able to turn on it's axis to aim horizontally, and they were also much easier and faster to load. With the new Steam Cannons on battlefields and ships by 1825, the British Imperium was able to lay waste to the Southern Powers and their defenses. Imperial France fell by 1836, and a year later, Italy, Vatican, and Spain-Portugal emissaries sent their surrenders. Thus was the end of a 15 year long war.

The Second West Hemisphere War 1885-1894

British Imperium

Mediterranean Confederation After the British Imperium dissolved the other Northern European nations, it once again set it's sights on lower Europe. After Emperor Charleston II ascended the throne in 1865, he began mass production of Steam Locomotives and weaponry. With second generation Steam Cannons mounted on the first Steam Warcruisers, he began planning his new invasion to take the rest of Europe. Even though the Mediterranean Confederation owned all of South America, the British Fleet would be able to cut them off from receiving or sending supplies. After a couple decades of preparation, he began his invasion with Steam Warcruisers harassing the Mediterranean supply lines and destroying enemy fleets. Once the seas were secured, Emperor Charleston II commanded his Steam-powered War Engines to attack and overwhelm any fortifications on the continent that were not British Imperium. With the Mediterranean's inferior weapons and technology, the British Imperium completely destroyed them within nine years.

1894-1899 The British Imperium controlled all of Europe, North America, and the northern half of South America. At the end of the 19th century, Emperor Charleston II died and gave way to his next successor, Emperor Charleston III.
