His morning classes were dull, even at the accelerated =20
program that Ranma was in.   In his current class, he listens half-=20
heartedly as the instructor drones on about some lesser-known =20
aspects of the history of the Empire.   *Who really cares about =20
some failed revolution in Britain=92s old North American colonies?,* 

=20

he thinks with a bored sigh.   The western region of North America =20
had been a colony of the Empire for over a century, after the war =20
with Spain.   *Would the shape of the world really have changed =20
that much?*   There had been peace in the world for the last =20
several decades, since it was divided up among the three =20
superpowers in the last war: Japan, Germany, and Russia.   Ranma =20
could care less about history himself.   Science was all that =20
mattered to him.=20

The premise of the fic involved a far-future technology, so I had jumped 
to the assumption that the timeline was around 100 years or more ahead 
of ours. The part about the failed American Revolution I took for the 
reason why the Axis achieved world victory.
