Kerbin World History (Political)

[sciencecompliance]

Is there any decent historical lore (official and/or fan-made) for Kerbals going back centuries or millennia?  I think it would be fun to take a dive into someone's envisioning of the history of the peoples of Kerbin and how they got to the stage of technological development to have a space program.  Someone has to have geeked out on this at some point.  Any history majors out there?

Take a look at some of these:

If you don’t mind the shameless plug, my First Flight fanfic includes a good amount of unofficial lore about Kerbal history, how their space program gets started and why they need it to be much more than a flags-and-footprints affair.

Chapters 31 and 32 are probably the key ones, although they’ll make more sense if you read them after chapters 1-30.   The rest of the story doesn’t really include much historical stuff.

Some people have made these and they would in the Fan Works subforum, to which your question has been moved to make them easier to find.
