Editing IMPERIALS Campaign SPOILER PAGE (section)

===IMPERIAL History Ideas===
* summer parties, the importance of the social network, tea and crumpet also the darker side of London, create a London’s for them, the rookeries, seven dials, white chapel, lime house, the fog, the smell etc.
* It's a great time for exploration Journey to the Centre of the Earth, King Solomon’s mines,  etc. 
* A great time for Masterminds, especially gothic ones:
* Moriarty
* Fu-Manchu
* Cthulhu
* Important items from the Crimean War: 
* In 1889, England had not been at war for 33 years (1856 - Crimean War) and the enemy then was Russia. 
* first use of armored ships
* first appearance of Florence Nightingale
* first use of anesthetics on a war front
* the Charge of the Light Brigade
* Important items from Franco-Prussian War: 
* France crushed and "Emperor" Louis Napolean deposed
* first big victory for a united Germany (united under the Prussians)
* first European "modern" war - though American Civil War was actual first modern war. F-P war was really what put Germany on the map and started them thinking about world empire. A good start for a Zemo character.
* War of the Worlds opening with either the Skrulls or the Brood being the Martians...  Another option is to make them invaders from the sea, or the centre of the earth instead. While space travel was certainly around as a concept in literature during the Victorian era, it wasn't the realm of sci-fi that we usually associate with the Skrull. Thus I'd just amalgamate the Molemen and the Skrull for a bit of fun.
* Maybe a "King Solomon's Mines" that heads to Wakanda.
* Who would play the era’s ultimate villain Jack the Ripper…
* Teosophy had these ideas of Man evolving into stages both spiritually and biologically - current mankind is, what, the Sixth Race or something. "Mutants" could be the first signs of the Seventh Race, divided among those who thinks the Sixth Race should do as the Atlanteans and Lemureans and just up and die already, and those who think they have a White Man's Burden towards us plain lesser humans.
* Spiritism was really the psionics of its day - despite being seen as a new religion by many, it was also considered "scientific", with ideas that spirits must have something to do with electricity and so on.
* And "electricity" then was what "radiation" was in the sixties. It could do anything. Anyone worth his salt would get his powers from an electrified spider or whatnot.
* The Inhumans etc is just perfect - ancient civilisation of superhumans are so right for a Victorian setting.
* What would be the World War II of such a setting? Being American-centric, I'd assume the Civil War - but it could be the Napoleonic Wars, I assume. Or maybe the War of Independence - Captain America being given his powers by Benjamin Franklin (maybe through a bolt of lightning that unfortunately killed FRanklin)? The Redcoat Skull?
