History

Known but Lost
Catsfernian history is near impossible to research do to an almost complete lack of records, accurate accounts, or living whiteness. About 100 years of history of Catsfern alone are lost with over 800 years of world history being almost completely unknown. Much is known about ancient times, and the current political atmosphere is well recorded and understood but there is a large sea of grey right in the middle that includes in therory the most important events in Catsfernian History.

Ancient Times.
The history of ancient times is well understood and highly studied with particular respect for military conquests. From the march of Hannibal to the conquests of Alexander the Great these men are all highly respected around the world for their military feats, but none are more respected than Genghis Khan. Hist military feats are what most historians agree lead to the current world political climate, he created the largest empire ever known at that point in history, but right after his death History falls into a sea of grey.

The Grey Area
For 800 years after the death of Genghis Khan historical records are almost non existent due to whats theorized to be a sort of second social collapse such as the bronze age collapse. Many events that happened during this era are unknown, and the ones that are known don't have exact dates. What is known is that by the time it was over many of the current world powers already existed and were ready to assert themselves.

The Great war
The Great War is the first event of whats considered modern History. It's the first well recorded event after the death of Genghis Khan and started a resurgence in historical record keeping. The great war was a complex and sorted affair that is generally considered 3 separate but simultaneous wars.
