Here's a thought for Sakura's backstory if you use her - the relationship between Japan and the US - or the rest of the world, for that matter - seems
to be a lot closer than was historically the case in the 1920s. The Koubu seem to've been something that the Japanese came up with and then shared the
technology across the world through some kind of alliance system that never gets looked at closely. Reni, who's German, was involved with the initial,
pre-ST1, tech development and field-testing group, in a period where Germany should be groaning under the Treaty of Versailles.
WW2 may not be a foregone conclusion, and even if it is, may not look anything like ours.

"V, did you do something foolish?"
"Yes, and it was glorious."
