[Zanzetkuken The Great]

Going to put this little bit front and center to get it across:

No discussion of events later than 11:59:59.9 PM December 31, 1999

I'm not even certain that is a good enough buffer, but we need something and that would allow for a bit of discussion upon how stuff worked in the 90s when technology had started creeping in to major use.  Mentioning something may have been the root cause of later politics is currently fine (ex. Event X may have influenced Party Y to take Stance Z), but do not discuss the modern issues themselves, there are other threads for that.  As a quick reference of whether it would be fitting to put it in this thread, before you post, ask yourself if your post is that of a historian studying the past, with the occasional thought of how it led to the modern day, or a politician talking about an issue.  We want the former, not the latter.


For a new thread, we need a starting point to look at.  How about we start with Elbe Day, and what events around and after that relatively peaceful meeting led to the Cold War that dominated the next half century?  Maybe do a bit of alternate history theorizing for what could have happened differently to avert the Cold War, if it was possible by that point.
