Thank god I didn't write bullshit.Actually I missed this part in school,cause we kinda skipped back when we were there.Anyways according to thr Wiki it started from around 1600 in england and had its climax there around 1640-1650.Of course thats just the majority of big companies.By that time,it was stull just spreading to france,and germany only had a small idea of whats going on.Everyone else was unfamiliar with steam engines and what not.It took about 150 years more to fully reach Russia.It ended near 1850.It was a long process.Also yes I am too,interested in who will be the first person to go steampunk,and produce revolver mortars.It is what makes Nation RP's so amazing.Creativity.
