The World 1920+ is an alternative to our own universe. It is based on the works and inspiration of Polish artist [[Jakub Rozalski]]. His paintings depicted an alternative [[Europe ]] of the early 20th century (after the [[Great War]]). It is a place where traditions clash with modernity, and the world is still full of mysteries and blank spaces on the map.
Originally, The World 1920+ was conceived based on the Polish-Bolshevik War of 1920 (February 1919 to March 1921). This war and the Battle of Warsaw are considered by some historians as one of the most important events in world history. These events changed the course of European history and halted the Red Revolution and the Bolshevik march to the West. It required enormous efforts, but Poland managed to regain its independence just two years after these events. Interestingly, few in the West are aware of these events, except for history enthusiasts. It was also the last war in history where cavalry was used in large numbers and played a key role on the battlefield. From there, Jakub began adding more themes, sides of the conflict, and heroes to shape an alternative history of the world in 1920+.
