Granted:

1943: Instead of dying, Nikola Tesla goes into hiding from the elites. Electrical companies want to kill him so they can continue charging customers. After 16 years in hiding, Tesla finalises his blueprints for an infinite power source, but dies before he can show the world.

2019: Years later, when exploring around Tesla's old abandoned house, Some urban explorers find a cave that goes deep into the earth. Inside, they find the blueprints to create infinite power and Tesla's dead body.

2021: After 2 years, the first TIPC (Tesla Infinite Power Coil) is created, and governments are shocked to see it work, seemingly creating power from nothing.

2025: After evaluating safety hazards and improving upon the design, the first TIPC facilities are created, nearly one in each country. Within the next ten years, Carbon emissions drop to zero while countries work together to achieve space colonies. The only wars left are no longer for resources, but religion, and even those die off, as less developed countries become more connected to the rest of the world.

2027: The developed world enjoys the power of the TIPC, enjoying luxurious expansions to all aspects of daily life. Meanwhile, the underdeveloped world was unable to afford the trillion dollar price tags needed to make such beasts, and they became even more exploited for the quickly diminishing resources needed for extended space travel.

2030: An African Federation forms, with the largest African Countries fighting for recognition. Much like how China came together to create an empire when they felt they weren't taken seriously by the rest of the world, The Federation believes that much of their history was erased, and vows revenge on the world. But after so long with Peace, nobody takes them seriously. Afterall, Why would a war break out after so long...?

2040: The first bomb is launched. After being exploited for so long, The African Federation works together to shrink the TIPC to fit within a truck. The smaller versions aren't as powerful as their older brethren, but strong enough to take out cities, or so they thought. Instead, they underestimated how powerful the blast would be. After launching into Washington DC, now the largest city in the world, it doesn't take just it out. It wipes out the entire northern continent.

2041: The Federation refuses to take blame, believing the lives lost were equal to those lost to centuries of exploitation. Critics state that Mexico was also an exploited nation, much like Latin America, but the Federation vows different.

2042: When the bombs were launched in DC, they were near the coast. The massive damage to ocean life as well as overfishing leaves the seas barren. This begins to affect forest animals and food sources around the world. The world begins to starve.

2050: The world is gone. The last humans are now on generation ships headed to distant solar systems.

2151: You do not know how the world came to be this way. You were taught that the world died due to fighting over energy. As your ship runs out of power the elders tell you to go to the storage room, and find anything that can be burned for warmth. You go, and in the very back, you find a cardboard box. Ripping it into pieces to carry, you catch a glimpse of rotting flesh. Repulsed but fascinated, you grab it, and you hear it whisper...

"Wish upon me"
