Vampire history

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This article is about the recent vampire colonisation of the planet. For literary/film vampire history, see Fictional vampires.

History

Scientists have discovered that, in 1910, the entire planet underwent a magnetic field shift causing, in the opinion of scientists, a fracture in the walls between this and other parallel universes [citation needed]. It is believed that this fracture enabled beings from other universes to cross into our world, where they became trapped by the reconfiguration of the magnetic flux.

At first the number of incomers, who became known as the Otherworlders, was very low and the incoming aliens remained mostly concealed, both purposefully and owing to their similarities to the resident human population.

However, by 1920 these numbers were growing due to infection of the resident population, reaching a high point of 1/30 by 1925. Humans began to fear both infection and uprising and sought to reclaim the planet for themselves, leading to the Troubles. After the signing of the Peace Treaty at Aberystwyth, Wales, the site of the original ingress, in 1988 a mostly equitable peace was formed and continues to be maintained.

Troubles

This is the name given to the all-out war which arose between Otherworlders (led by the vampire contingent) and humans, officially declared by United States President Calvin Coolidge in 1927. The war was fought globally with each continent leading its own defence; problems occurred from the number of deaths by ‘friendly fire’ caused by the inability of the majority of the population to differentiate between Otherworlders and humans. After sixty years of conflict, during which the global economy was brought almost to its knees, a co-operative solution was sought by those on both sides and a workable peace was negotiated, enabling both Otherworlders and humans to live side by side.

Theories

Currently, studies in the field of social and political history have put forward the theories that the ingress of Otherworlders to this universe prevented mankind from waging war upon itself and that the Troubles may have defused a situation which could have led to a World War. The Alternate History Group of Great Britain have published papers on the subject and their studies are ongoing …
