Of course we're assuming that KatWorld's history exactly parallels our own. Yes, if we discount the Seven Years' War we only have WW1 and WW2. But there was clearly potential for a global war in the latter half of the 19th century. The various colonial powers could have gotten into conflicts in places all over the world. IIRC, there was a three way standoff between the British, Americans and Germans in the South Pacific that was resolved when a typhoon wiped out most of the combatants' ships in one fell swoop. Most of the major powers at the time were operating globally; in a parallel world one of those dirty little wars that were constantly springing up might have blossomed into a big one. So on KatWorld MW1 might have been in the equivalent of the 1880s, MW2 = WW1, and MW3 = WW2. Ed and yes I do like history; you got a problem wit dat? ;-) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Do not meddle in the affairs of the SWAT Kats, . for they well armed and destined to win.
