Diagrams of World History 1765 BC to 2049 AD

I apologize for not writing for a while. My life has been a bit overwhelming the last couple months. I hope to start writing on a more regular basis now.


Here is a diagram of history from 1765 BC to 1935 AD. Each character is 14 years. During declines, maybe you get a revolution possibility once the previous has finally died out. The down stroke is unstoppable until forced to reverse by a decision point 2 levels up, this also drags lower level down strokes up.

And here is a diagram of history from 1881 to 2042. The future is of course merely a continuation of trends and not a certainty. Each character is 21 months.
