The Titans That Built America

In the aftermath of World War I, a new generation of Titans rises from the ashes as America starts to thrive once again. After Henry Ford becomes the number one automobile maker in the nation, Pierre DuPont moves on from munitions to finance General Motors. During the Roaring Twenties, engineer Walter Chrysler joins in to build a better and faster vehicle under his own name. However, the aviation industry is taking flight and Edsel Ford and William Boeing, along with famous pilot Charles Lindbergh want to be household names. It's an all out battle to outshine and outsmart each other to be the Titans of new industry supremacy.

When the Stock Market crashes on Wall Street in October 1929 (one day after the Chrysler Building opened), the nation descends into the Great Depression two years later. Banker J.P. Morgan Jr. and du Pont help get a new leader, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, elected as the next U.S. president. However, FDR curbs the Titans capitalism by proposing a bold New Deal to save the American people from financial ruin. He enlists Henry Kaiser to design the Hoover Dam. As the industrialists struggle to save their big businesses from collapse, they may get an opportunity in the impending war in Europe. America must build up their military to match the super powers of Germany and Japan.

After a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor changes America's plan to stay out of war, FDR needs to make peace with the Titans he made into the country's enemies. He needs their industrial might to build the greatest war machines ever made. But in order to confront this global threat, the Titans must keep their egos in check by choosing patriotism over profit, and unite with the U.S. government. Du Pont is back making munitions, as well as helping J. Robert Oppenheimer create the Atomic Bomb. Ford, with Edsel's idea, assemble B-24 Bombers. Chrysler's engineers design Sherman tanks, and Kaiser takes over shipyards to build Liberty ships.
