MAKING HISTORY® is a series of counterfactual turn-based strategy games in which players apply their strategic skills to lead their chosen nation through real-world periods of conflict. The goal is not to replay history exactly as it happened, but rather to operate in an unpredictable, player-driven world. Virtually any country is playable across a variety of the game's bundled scenarios, and players can use the MAKING HISTORY® Game Editor to create new scenarios of their own, offering endless hours of gameplay.
