See the world changed forever over four tumultuous centuries. Initially, the map is dominated by the empires of Spain, Russia, the Ottoman Turks and the Ming Chinese. Later, revolutions in England, France and the newborn USA bring down monarchs and new leaders emerge. In the 1800s, the American West is settled and land grabs are made for Africa. Just as far-reaching are the giant leaps in science and technology of the industrial era. And the face of the Earth changes too, with the catastrophic eruption of Krakatoa.
