Re: The Counting Game
1888-1888 North Canterbury earthquake in new zealand happens. the incredibly creative name is inspired by the location of the epicenter of the earthquake (the North Canterbury region of the South Island of New Zealand, approximately 35 kilometres (22 mi) west of Hanmer), and, get this, the year the earthquake took place, the aforementioned 1888. Motion to award the prestigious and most creatively named "Creative Name Award For Naming Something Creatively In A Creative Fashion, Just Like This Award's Name" award to this earthquake?

(since the classic map of this game is based on WWI, until we hit 1914 we should find stuff that lead to the outbreak of that war)

1894 - Aforementioned Franco-Russian alliance encircles Germany. Letters detailing the alliance state that, in the event of an attack by Germany on Russia or France, Russia is to send 700,000 troops to fight, and France is to send 1,300,000 troops to fight.
In trying to find more information leading to the events of WWI....
1895 - Japanese and Chinese conclude Treaty of Shimonoseki among various European powers expressing self-interests and resulting in recognition of Korean independence and surrendering Port Arthur and Liaotung Peninsula to Japan; Russians upset over Japanese gains
