Latter 20th Century

For the purposes of this setting treatment, the Latter 20th Century is that portion of the 20th century starting with the events of the year 1947 and running through to the end of the century. This point is chosen because it marks the beginning of the divergent timeline of the Chain Breakers setting and concludes at the obvious logical point. It includes both the Game of Stakes and Slow Burn eras and lays the groundwork for the shift into the Corporate Wars of the setting's main time period, the latter half of the 21st century.

Major events of this alternate 20th century include:

• The Roswell Incident of July 8, 1947;
• The Forced Hand Incident of June 23-25, 1984;
