    That’s what I assume would happen also. I can see the government making a big show of it that the return to D.C. symbolizes the two countries finally being reunited.

    TL-191: Filling the Gaps

    I wouldn't be surprised if the Freedom Party and Action Française felt a political kinship over wanting to get revenge on a historic enemy but I imagine Britain would be seen as the more practical ally and also the shared ancestry heritage of the Confederacy and the British isles.

    TL-191: Filling the Gaps

    Britain was the primary partner. Probably partly realpolitik on the belief that the Royal Navy, the Canadians in the North, and Confederates in the South could check US expansion. References in the books even show the influence the alliance has on Confederate culture like military uniform colors...

    Question regarding TL-191 (American occupation of the CSA)

    It's an occupation with the intention of eventually re-incorporating the former CS into the US. Given what a nightmare the CS was throughout its existence, can't see anyone in the US wanting to see an independent Confederacy again.

    DBWI: Could the Soviet Civil War have been avoided?

    Avoiding Gorbachev and his attempted reforms that the hardliner coup was a reaction to could be a possibility. Of course, no telling what a reformless continuation of the Brezhnev-era Soviet Union would end up like but couldn't be any worse than what happened in the 90s.

    Toussaint L'Ouverture would probably be a mythologized martyr and seen as a predecessor to the Red Rebellions by the Confederate-Blacks and Black Communists. While White Confederates would see him also as a predecessor to the Red Rebellions but in a completely negative sense. I could easily see...

    WI: Confederate States get support from European powers?

    Despite moral objections to slavery, as well having it outlawed for decades by that point, both Britain and France saw value in an independent CSA. The right justification and both nations would have been content to at least aide the Confederacy more directly. France was always more of a...

    Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    A lot of the 48ers and other nationalists who came over pre-ACW and enlisted in the Union and Confederate armies (Germans, Irish, Hungarians, Polish, etc) saw the war in similair vein to the conflicts they fought back in their home countries.

    Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    Since the author has said this is will end up being the high water mark of the Confederacy, I could easily see the Confederate's getting a case of victory disease that undoes or severely undercuts their progress.

    After the Second Great War and the fall of the Confederacy, I could see Lincoln being rehabilitated to a degree. Not to the extent to be seen as a great President like in OTL but probably more like a 19th century Jimmy Carter (at least by those in North) A well-meaning man who was simply out of...

    Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    I'd just say as of now, in-universe of the timeline, you can see why observers and military officers wouldn't be thinking the war would be going well right now. As I've said though the capture and burning of D.C. will probably be even more of a rallying cry for enlistment than Ft. Sumter even...

    Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    I imagine once the Confederacy has been pushed out of the city and properly fortified, Lincoln would move the government back to DC. Of course they might just play it safe until the Confederacy has been thoroughly defeated enough that there's no risk of a Confederate army capturing it for a...

    George III would likely still be seen negatively by both nations. I could see George III in the Confederacy be linked to Lincoln as a tyrant trying to enforce his rule and policies from a far off capital. Which is similair to what Confederates in OTL told themselves when they tried to connect...

    Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    The only way a New York Campaign is happening if the British invade from Canada. An extended campaign that far north would be well beyond what the South could hope to do with it's over extended supply lines.

    Probably a big part of Confederate education about War of Secession. A harbinger of things to come.

    Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    Aside from obvious symbolic reasons, recapturing D.C. as relatively soon as possible will also be important because the Confederates might try to make it as fortified it as it was in OTL and so make any attempt to retake city a very bloody proposition. Though the capture of DC will probably be...

    Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    Eh, it's still early into the war. I can easily see the Confederacy, riding high off of capturing DC, make a strategic blunder like trying to take the fight further north and suffer a defeat akin to a reverse First Bull Run. The armies are still mostly full of amateurs and inexperienced recruits...

    Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    France was always more of a possibility of intervening than Britain, out of a desire that a divided US wouldn't have the means to oppose Napoleon III's imperial designs in Mexico and South America (now with a Confederate ally). However France would only have intervened if it was part of a...

    Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    I mean, if it looks the US can't put down the rebellion then its similiar to the British in the ARW where it starts of a domino effect of counties recognizing the CS's independence. Outright intervention might not be a possibility but access to stuff like loans and buying war supplies would be a...

    Until Every Drop of Blood Is Paid: A More Radical American Civil War

    Wonder how the rest of the world will receive the news of DC's capture. Even before the first shots were fired many in nations like Britain and France were already writing off the Union's chances. DC's fall will only solidify that mindset. I imagine there's a many Yankee enlistees hoping to...
