Weapons Timeline (Superpowers)

From Alternative History

This is a separate but contiguous timeline detailing the development of weapons technology in the Superpowers ATL. Only significantly notable developments in technology are present in this timeline, and so the absence of an invention is not proof of its non-existence in this timeline. Note that most technology is given its Latin name, or OTL equivalent English name, even if it was not developed by the Romans.
