Authors description: Historical National Focus Dates

1. IntroductionExamples: because Pearl Harbor happen in december, because the “Military Traing Act” happen before the “Home Defence”, and concerning many other historical national focuses in HOI4 that happen at a wrong time, there is a solution: Historical National Focus Dates.

This mod aims to only improve AI’s choices order for more historicity concerning dates. National focuses have been reorganized and focus trees reworked when necessary. It doesn’t change the duration of national focuses and doesn’t change the AI’s adaptability. The effects have not been changed except in some rare cases. The non-historical focus way has not be changed. All changes will be indicated in the LIST OF CHANGES in the discussion below.
The timeline now matches history a lot closer:

AIMED FOR A 1936 START WITH HISTORICAL NATIONAL FOCUSES ON! This mod will not work properly if historical focuses are set OFF: it would cause several unknown problems.
! A 1936 start is heavily recommended if you want to enjoy this mod fully.
