1911
Contrary to popular belief, the year of 1911 did not in fact occur between the years 1910 and 1912. Due to a strange and elusive property of base ten numbering systems, the number 1911 in fact comes between 2394 and 2395.
Events
- When the end of 1910 came about and this phenomenon was discovered (as all calendars and timepieces worldwide suddenly said 1912), the leaders of the major world powers and Canada got together and determined that they had to "make a whole bunch of shit up", to quote Oscar Wilde, who was also at the meeting. This meeting gave us the currently accepted history of what would have happened in that year, had it come as humans were expecting.
- What will actually happen in the year 1911, some 390 years in the future, has been be prophesized by many, but not Nostradamus, who said the whole thing was just really fucked up. Most say the world will end with the Wrath of Grapes or Dill Pickle Doritos. And most of these predictions are horrible failures, according to the Oscar Wilde who had...or will...or something...time travelled to the meeting from the year 1911 to attend the meeting while his 1912 self ate some candles. According to Wilde, "A lot of shit will happen". He refused to give specifics...bastard.
1912
- The year man learned to walk. Woman had been walking for years, men were just too lazy. Which explains why kitchens are so clean.
- The Titanic did the hokey pokey and time traveled to 1932, but encountered Jesus, whereupon it got lost in outer space. The Unstinkable Molly Brown offered no comment (or commitment) whatsoever. The disappearance of the ship was blamed on The Snorks.
- Jesus returned, but was distracted by something shiny until 1932. Thus the end of the world was delayed until said shiny object was put down.

1914
1914 is generally recognized by professional historians as the Year Everything Went to Shit.
Events
Barbra Tuchman, in her book, August, 1914 (which was originally part 8 of a twelve-volume series) she explains it succintly, using her trademark colloquialisms, in the opening pages of the first chapter:
"Damn, shit was whack. Tha Serbs was all up in Austria's shit 'bout independence, Germany was frontin' like she was some sorta straight-up world powa, France was frontin' like she was gonna knock the Kaiser's teeth out, and Russia was too stoned on that vodka to give a rat's ass. Europe was like a club where a drug deal's goin down and the cops know about it. Shit's about to go down, and everybody in tha club knows it. Alls they can do is either pull out they nine or curl up in the corner like a little bitch, y'heard?"
Tragedy Strikes Austrian Indie Rock
On September 28, 1914, Austrian Indie rockers Franz Ferdinand left their hotel in Belgrade to play a 'Serbian Independence Benefit' concert (concerts which were common among avant-garde indie musicians of ther period). Someone, presumed to be an Austrian secret agent, found them and followed them through corridors and factories as they traveled to the show, at a simple venue in downtown Belgrade known only as 'The Matinee'. The killer found them in the Matinee, the dark of the Matinee, and all of Franz Ferdinand (as well as half the audience) was taken out by a fire bomb that killed the entire band in the initial blast but also set the building aflame. A firefighter dispatched to The Matinee was heard to comment, "This fire is out of control." to which others responded "It's gonna burn this city." Thankfully, the damage to other buildings was minimal, though 'The Matinee' iteslf burned away to the point only forty feet remained. Of what, no one knows.
News of the deaths spread quickly, causing much shock and outrage among both fans of the band and independence activists. The Kaiser had remarked months earlier that the next European war would be fought over 'some damn foolish alt-rock band in the Balkans'. As it turned out, the Kaiser was eerily accurate.
The Chief Kaiser's other prediction that there would be a "riot" as everyday he would be loved less and less was also eerily accurate following the Sailors rioting that ended the war in 1918 and forced the Kaiser to abdicate his throne.
Germany Gets This Party Started
Germany promptly declared war on Serbia when Serbian officials openly criticized Rammstein, and Austria was not far behind when a group of Serbian teenagers formed a Franz Ferdinand cover band. Serbia was promptly terminated by Austria, in particular the famed Bodybuilder's Brigade, which overpowered enemy troops by sheer testosterone overdose. Russia also pulled some crazy shit in East Prussia and got their ass handed to them.
Clobberin' Time
German Super Heroes, most notably the Fantastic 4, were a key force in the early battles against French soldiers, and were largely responsible for the victories (such as the Battle of the Frontiers) that drove the French back almost to the brink of defeat. At the brink of defeat the Frenchmen felt at home and comfortable, and they turned around at the Marne and forced the Germans back. After that things pretty much settled into a rhythm.

1920
To say that 1920 was a year full of pestilence, famine and poor quality candyfloss would be a severe understatement. To say it was the 'bomb', a awesome roller-coaster of mind blowing events, and most definitely the best year in existence would obviously be a huge overstatement. In order to burn away this grandiosity that is a sad trait of many contemporary writers, careful deliberate dissection is needed.
So settle in readers, find your monocle, take a small sip out of your brandy glasses and tell your wife to bake some crumpets.
Events
Pre-history
Before 1920 the world had been through a difficult time. The divorce of man and nature had been long and ugly and mans latest mistress, the industrial revolution, had turned out not to be the submissive japanese schoolgirl man dreamed of. Instead man was locked in an awkward foxtrot with the school mistress, all 180 pounds of man-hating, whip-wielding, bearded feminazi. Belching out putrid smoke, forcing large families to live in cardboard boxes, biting heads off innocent seals, inventing communism and eroding the class divides were just some of the atrocities of this period.
Man and his sidekick Civilization were certainly without a paddle, and with power being quickly vested in the masses of illiterate fools, something desperate had to be done. 'We need a plan with balls' said Man, 'definitely balls, one that will donkey punch the lower classes and the revolution back to last century'. But the Eton and Oxford schooling failed them at this most crucial moment, and all they could do was organise a game of polo followed by a 13 course meal, a game of a whist and a shag of the maid. The decline of society continued with little resistance ...
1920
So the situation looks bleak. Every one is covered with a layer of coal dust and communism is 'cool' with young urban socialites. Man and Civilization are dead drunk and have run out of snuff. Their meager possessions consist of 2 ponies, 14 pheasants, 1 maid, 2 wheels of brie, a half used cigar, a mansion worth 4 pounds 5 shillings 3 pence and the blueprints of a utopian society. Yes, things were not good at all.
But over the course of 1920 a small but significant shift in society would occur. A plan would be formed. A plan with balls. A plan that would make heroes of men, middle class whingers of commoners and put the women's liberation movement back 60 years. Oh well, you can't make an omlete without breaking eggs. Unless you're a vegan, in which case you may have to make up another analogy. How about: You can't make tofu without crushing soy beans? You can? Really? Damn. Well you get the idea anyway.
In early January Civilisation and Man woke up from their moderate hangovers and felt the inevitable grip of middle age crisis. Desires for red sports cars and younger attracive women swept over them and they were forced to eat a wheel of brie to calm down.
Other Notable Events
The first year in the decade that would eventually be known as the Roaring Twenties, 1920 was the year my father was born, which ultimately is only important because that stroke of luck enabled me to be here now.
The ligature competition took place in 1920. God bless my father by creating ₧.
