The '''2190s''' was an important decade for the planet [[Earth]]. Following the devastating [[the Dalek Invasion of Earth|Dalek invasion]] of the mid-[[2160s]], the decade was dominated by continued rebuilding efforts. The people of Earth were still living in conditions more primitive than those which had existed in the [[2150s]]. The decade did, however, see the Earth's first tentative steps towards re-emergence as an interstellar society. Earth's [[the moon|lunar]] colonists, cut off from the home planet by the [[Dalek]]s, were finally rescued after thirty years of effective exile. Meanwhile, there was great tension between those who wanted to re-establish contact with off-worlders and those who didn't. The pro-contact faction argued that aliens could dramatically improve the rebuilding effort, while the more xenophobic elements feared a repeat of the Dalek invasion of the past.

The '''2190s''' were the time of the continued occupation of [[Earth]] by the [[Dalek]]s following a [[2180s Dalek invasion of Earth|second invasion]] at the end of the [[2180s|last decade]]. The occupation was ended very early in the decade, following the interventions of the [[Eighth Doctor]], [[Susan Foreman|Susan Campbell]], [[Alex Campbell]], and [[Lucie Miller]], the last two of whom died at the hands of the Daleks.

==Politics==
By the very late 2190s, not only had humans re-established space-flight within the Terran system, they had also managed a return to the further reaches of the [[Solar System|''Solar'' system]]. One Earth-based ship that was active during this period was the ''[[Valiant (spacecraft)|Valiant]]'' — on which the [[Sixth Doctor]] and [[Evelyn Smythe]] adventured in [[2197]]. ([[AUDIO]]: {{cs|The Nowhere Place (audio story)}})
One of the characteristic features of this decade was the rise of [[Earth United]], a political group especially popular amongst university students. Their aim was the prevention of any further contact with aliens. One of its most fervent members was [[Alex Campbell]], great-grandson of [[the Doctor]], and therefore only a half-human himself. Meanwhile, his mother, [[Susan Campbell]], had lived on Earth for decades, hiding her racial identity from everyone, including her son. She had, by the 2190s, risen to be a prominent voice in the government of the planet. She was able to convince the [[President of the Earth Council]] to seek help from extraterrestrials, for the first time since the [[2160s]]. Unfortunately she was tricked by the [[Guldreasi]], a race who appeared beneficent, but really meant to enslave humanity, just like the Daleks. The [[Eighth Doctor]] was able to reveal their true intent before any lasting damage could be done. The [[Earth Council]] banished the Guldreasi and the President of the Council largely shielded Susan and Alex from public disgrace. ([[BFA]]: ''[[An Earthly Child]]'', [[CC]]: ''[[Quinnis]]'')
 
==Return of spaceflight==
By the very late 2190s, not only had humans re-established space-flight within the Terran system, they had also managed a return to the further reaches of the [[Solar System|''Solar'' system]]. One Earth-based ship that was active during this period was the ''[[Valiant]]'' — on which the [[Sixth Doctor]] and [[Evelyn Smythe]] adventured. ([[BFA]]: ''[[The Nowhere Place]]'')
 
==The Doctor==
The incident with the Guldreasi was the first encounter the Doctor had with Susan since [[First Doctor|his first incarnation]] had been ensnared with her in the [[Game of Rassilon]]. ([[DW]]: ''[[The Five Doctors]]'') The 2190s was thus a kind of milestone for the [[Eighth Doctor]], serving as a backdrop for a family reunion and the discovery of the continuance of his genetic line in Alex, his great-grandson. For Alex, the meeting would prove life-altering, since he had never known of his partial [[Time Lord]] physiology. From this initial meeting would come more adventures with the Doctor's grand-daughter and great-granddaughter, both of whom would continue to call the 2190s "home".

The 2190s were the time of the continued occupation of Earth by the Daleks following a second invasion at the end of the last decade. The occupation was ended very early in the decade, following the interventions of the Eighth Doctor, Susan Campbell, Alex Campbell, and Lucie Miller, the last two of whom died at the hands of the Daleks.

By the very late 2190s, not only had humans re-established space-flight within the Terran system, they had also managed a return to the further reaches of the Solar system.
