June 3, 1942. Nazi Germany controls most of Europe in a reign of terror. Meanwhile, in the Pacific, Americans and Japanese are gearing up for the Battle of Midway. All this would change. An asteroid, drifting past the Earth was attracted by its gravity and plummeted down to the Earth, into the North Atlantic Ocean, somewhere between the Azores and Bermuda. Overnight, the world was forever changed. The impact into the crust caused earthquakes across the world, devastating coastlines, especially Japan and the Pacific Rim. Tsunamis devastated the coasts of the Atlantic Ocean, and massive earthquakes caused tsunamis around the rest of the world. A major fragment crashed into the Himalayas, devastating much of Southeast Asia, and earthquakes devastated Africa in particular, especially the east.
