The Global Age had begun after the upheaval of World War I.Īfter advancing to the Industrial Age, players are given a new set of buildings to build, technologies to research, and units to create. The mighty British Empire had weakened and the Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empires had collapsed and dissolved. World War I had about a staggering forty-million casualties and empires had declined then. Biplanes, triplanes, and bombers were produced dramatically. New guns such as machine guns and anti-tank rifles were built. The belligerents were the Central Powers consisting of Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, and the Ottoman Empire and the Allied Powers consisted of the United Kingdom, France, the United States, Japan, and Russia (Russia went to peace after Communist takeover). World War I revolves around the assassination of an Austro-Hungarian archduke in Serbia. And one of the most famous wars of all World War I. Russia and its weak and oppressive government were taken over by Communist revolutionaries. France tried to stop the Germans from growing too powerful but failed completely in the Franco-Prussian War. The federal United States had to fight the Confederate States in the American Civil War. The Boxer Rebellion had been countered by the Western powers and Japan in China. The United Kingdom had to deal with Boers and Zulus in the Anglo-Zulu War and the Boer Wars. Colonization was still harsh and many of the most famous wars occurred. Capitalism was disliked by philosophers and Socialism was created. Working conditions were poor such as child labor and workers lived in squalor. However, the Industrial Age had its disadvantages too.

Biology had become advanced through Charles Darwin and Chemistry had become advanced and popularized. New inventions were created such as the telegraph, modernized light bulbs, the biplane (the first modern airplane), telephone, photography, steam engines, trains, bicycles, and cars.
