The Second Great Depression set the Western World against much of the Asian World. The release of Rogue AIs into Earth’s communications networks pitted the Russian World against everybody else. And the fall of Japan and the other Pro-Western Asian nations to an outraged China built the world we live in now. A new Cold War descended on the world and we never left it behind as we went into space. Trade and communications became rare as each of the Great Powers built their own markets in space and then throughout the stars. We were three different sets of worlds that rarely interacted. And when we did, those interactions were rarely happy.
