1918

In 1918, World War I, a multinational conflict on Earth triggered by Nemesis in 1914 (DW: Silver Nemesis), effectively ended with a ceasefire.

The Eighth Doctor visited the North Yorkshire village of Hawkswick in 1918. On 19 March, John Sykes was murdered. (EDA: Casualties of War)

Gerald Carter and Harriet Derbyshire investigated a temporal phenomenon as part of Torchwood Three in Cardiff. A future version of Tommy Brockless told them to freeze his present self in the hospital to be awakened later. The future Tommy, his mind in shell shock, returned to this time period not long after, with Toshiko Sato reminding him from 2008 to turn the "rift key" he had been given to stop the two time zones from collapsing on one another.
