The complexity of what is happening

[mbarrick]

OK, this glosses over a lot of stuff and is by no means the whole picture, but it isn't really intended to be. This is a very simplified, not-to-scale, timeline intended to show some of the complexity and historical context for what is going on at the moment. This is all straight out of my head and I didn't verify anything, so forgive me if I have made a mistake or two.
