Sorry guys, but I'm officially putting the TL on an indefinite hiatus. I just lack the ambition to write at the moment and starting in January I have my exams and thus no time to continue then. So in this post, to end this timeline for now, I'll post a few notes on the stuff I had planned as well as stuff that I'd add in case of a redux.
The "future":
- the "Roman Question" will ultimately be resolved in 1872 after the Death of Napoleon III and the ensueing civil war in France
- for the Pope... I figured he might go to South Germany, but I'm rather unsure
- the "tragedy" in 1874 was supposed to be the future king Otto of Bavaria going crazy followed by a killing spree. I don't know if I would incorporate it into the redux
- a Franco-Austrian alliance is a certainty
- Korea will, just like Japan, modernize and be very much under the influence of France, but with Protestant missionaries playing a major role in the country
- the NGC will diplomatically focus on Great Britain and Italy, as well as Belgium
- Japan was supposed to take over Hawaii
- I am generally unsure on how to handle Spain and Russia
The "redux":
- Hohenzollern would go to Württemberg (just like originally planned)
- future King of Prussia Frederick III will quit smoking during the German Civil War, saving his life in the long run
- I'd like to change Paraguay's fate as well in the potential redux, considering that the War of the Triple Alliance is still in full force and it could easily end in 1868 instead of 1873; however I wasn't knowledgeable enough to implement this story thread into this version, so I'd do some research on the Prussia of South America
Last but not least I hope that Ares96 still finishes the map I commissioned him to do since I'd love to see it regardless and give you a small goodbye treat.
And off I go from June to May!
