Events

• The Unilateral Declaration of Egyptian Independence brings an end to Egypt's status as a protectorate of Great Britain.
• The Irish Free State declares independence from the United Kingdom, starting an economic war between the powers which is only exacerbated by the Great Depression.
• The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, or USSR (CCCP to Russians), is born.
• Poland establishes a democratic government, which unfortunately only lasts four years.
• Dr. Sir Calvin Hammersmith invites his earliest patron, Maxwell Anderson Mercer, to a debut demonstration of his new Telluric Engine. Mercer brings along a genius-level student of his, Michael Damien Donighal, who he believes will be enriched by the experiment.

July

• July 21: The Hammersmith Incident. Dr. Sir Calvin Hammersmith demonstrates a device, which explodes. Hammersmith himself dies in the explosion. The explosion causes a number of people around the world -- including Maxwell Anderson Mercer, Michael Damien Donighal, and Saraswati Kaur Bhurano, who were all present at the explosion -- to become Talents, or imbued with Quantum- or Psi-based powers.
• Immediately after the Hammersmith explosion, Maxwell Anderson Mercer disappears. Some suspect he may have been incinerated in the blast, although witnesses claim he helped people from the fire before disappearing.
• Assassins begin to appear in far greater numbers than in previous decades.
