[QUOTE="derelictjay, post: 1778319, member: 19336"] For starters you gonna keep WWI and WWII, I'd at least keep WWI. And in WWI, this even you got would cause US to pull out of Europe, probably ending that war in a stalemate, possibly altering Europe as we know it (but a stalemate would probably never have let Hitler come to power so its not that bad, thereby preventing WWII). As to stateside, no depression and no roaring twenties (altering a good timeline in US history). Also I don't think the US would be able to muster up enough power to be a force in the world. Soviet Union would be the real superpower in this world (I also see them embracing magic better than the US), as the Cold War would never happen, US would sit and watch as communism would devour countries in an exspanding front. As a struggling United States tries to figure out how to deal with is "dead-zone". As to events at home. You would still have railroads crossing the dead-zone, but they would be trains with boilermakers. Food supplies would be drastically reduced. New York state would be the most populous state (gaining the "hollywood" that California would have), because the west coast states would be backwater, until flight becomes more easily available at going around the "dead-area". Microsoft and Silicon Valley would still be on the west coast because they would be after technology advances (Bill Gates with real magic at his finger tips, shudder).
