English 205 AltHistory Project: What if Pangea was never split up?

Background: Pangea has never split up and is known as Akinfenwa in the year 1138. The continent has been split into the north region (Naldo captial city: Sporting) and south region (Maradonia captial city: Morgantown). The North has a rich economy, a strong education system, and live in peace. This was founded from their good fortune in geology and discovery of a newer metal that was found to have special properties while consistently self rejuvenating known as garethium. When forged it became impenetrable while also containing healing powers when consumed keeping the North in sustained nourishment. Researchers have found a way to grow the metal using the soil it was first inhabited from, helping to speed up the self rejuvenation.The South is inhabited by all those who have disbanded to not live off the metal. This caused a rift between the two nations as the metal became a dividing force. The South viewed garethium as impure and looked unfavorably towards those who used it. The Northern Government became consumed with the idea of a perfect civilization that could only be attained by living off of the garethium to reap the benefits and eventually chose to take matters into their own hands.

1203 November 12th: The leader of the Naldo government has passed and the new leader Seedorf Gustavson is appointed.

1203 November 15th: Seedorf declares war against the South and all those who oppose living off garethium. 1203 November 30th: Seedorf begins to invade North
 * He claims those who don’t live off garethium are impure and inferior because of it.

1203 November 30th: South leader Azamat wanted peace but would not let defenseless people die.

1203 December 28th: Battle of Inzaghi begins in one of the main cities of Maradonia. 1204: February 3rd: Main troops of Maradonia begin to retreat to Costa Douglas
 * Azamat sends troops in an effort to help the innocent people of Inzaghi

1204 February 5th: 164 declared dead in the battle of Inzaghi

1204 February 5th: North conquers city of Inzaghi

1204 February 7th: North continues on towards next southern city to Yettisville

1204 February 9th: Northern informants begin to sneak Garethium into the South as some government officials are not in accordance with Seedorfs plan and begin to take action.

1204 February 16th: Southern scientists have used information and metals from the northern informants and begin to grow their own supply in an effort to fight back against the North.

1204 February 16th: Intent from northern informants was to give the south a way to preserve their lives however the south quickly used it for their own plot. 1204 April 4th: Battle of Yettisville ends with Naldo once again taking a city of Maradonia 1204 May 2nd: Maradonia has found a way to end the regenesis of the garethium
 * Maradonia begins to construct weapons to aid in their defense against Naldo.
 * Also begins to do testing on how to eliminate garethium self-reproduction
 * Seedorf is still unaware of the garethium leak in the South and continues on pursuit towards the capital of Maradonia (Morgantown)
 * Plans next invasion of Marandonia to occur within coming months
 * Plans to build a bomb out of the garethium to end the war with Naldo, believed that if there was no more garethium Seedorf would not have the capabilities to continue the war
 * Bomb would wipe out anyone who had garethium in their system
 * 1204 June 18th: Seedorf begins next invasion of Maradonia (Billsand) inching towards capital

1204 June 20th: Maradonian government with Azamat come to the conclusion the only way to stop Seedorf is to launch the bomb and end the use of garethium

1204 June 21st: Azamat launches bomb to end garethium

1205 July 2nd: Continents have completely reformed to how we know them today and the Maradonian society lives in peace similar to the lifestyle of humans today.
 * Garethium is ended as the world knows it along with the entire Naldo population (847,612)
 * Along with garethium the entire world has begun to shift
 * Bomb set of shocks in tectonic plates causing the world's continents to separate as we know them today
