START: January - April 1934

Some events:

- Widescale workers' strikes in the HRE, orchastrated by the nation's Socialist Party.

- The Fue Emperor Longqing falls terribly ill aged 70. His son, widely seen to be incompetent, assumes temporary control of the empire.

- 1934's winter thaws, but not nearly as much as scientists would have predicted. Experts speculate that ash and debris in the atmosphere from the old war is blocking sunlight and provoking a small-scale ice age. Meanwhile high-altitude areas of Europe, and northern areas of the globe are pretty cold.

- The Virginian Civil War continues. The VLA intensifies its barrage of Amilton (Atlanta) as part of the Liberationist offensive south. In the north, Loyalist attempts to consolidate the Baltimore corridor fail. In April a Liberationist offensive into Carolina spearheaded by General Patton nears the coast and threatens to split Loyalist territory in two.
