章 414: Chapter 101: The Widening War

```

The Industrial Revolution had not yet impacted world affairs as the use of electricity was just beginning. To many at the time, its primary function seemed to be for lighting.

High-powered generators had just appeared, and the use of electricity in industry had yet to begin. Influenced by Franz's butterfly effect, this Industrial Revolution kicked off in Austria.

The original protagonist of this time and space had now dimmed. Prussia, which established The Second Empire of Germany, was still butting heads with the Russians, and the grandiose American Empire was licking its wounds from the Civil War.

After its split, the internal market of the United States could no longer support an industrial revolution. The heavy casualties of war, accompanied by high pensions, and the internal conflicts among the states, all hindered the development of The Federation.
