Well, that's a dramatic cliff-hanger
Welcome back.
Lol yeah I guess part of me seems to like the dramatic. Thanks dude!
Ah, Mexico enters the industrial era with increasingly solid institutions and a powerful state. And now begins the conflicts of class, questions of hegemonic expansion, indigenous rights, national identity (and how immigrants fit in), internal migration to cities, language rights, and how the new wealth of industry shall influence every facet of the country.
I look forward to the Mexican Guilded Age.
Thanks for that run down man, all those things will indeed be addressed in future updates. It's gonna be awesome.
This is awesome! I really love the detail you've been going into Arkhangelsk! Really looking forward to see where you are going to take this!
Thanks so much man! I'm a sucker for detail lol, but seriously that's why I love your timelines as well. They're loaded with a lot of amazing material.
Love the update, Arkhangelsk! I'm looking forward to the next update as always.
Thank you! Hopefully this next update doesn't' take me a whole year haha
Did I read that correctly? The Isle of Pines was transferred under Mexican sovereignty after the peace treaty that sanctioned Cuban independence? If so, is that territory large and/or populous enough to be eventually turned into a Mexican state or is it going to be administered as an "organized but unincorporated dependent territory" the likes of a present-day US Commonwealth?
You are correct! I have a map I've been working on which I'll try to share asap, but yes the Treaty of Paris recognized Mexican sovereignty over the island. The island was thinly populated by the Anglo-Americans and many eventually opt to leave following the peace. México quickly works to populate the island, so it will probably keep the island the long haul. I haven't really given thought to it's future status however.
The next update will be another one on México, and it should take the timeline all the way to the late 1870's. I'll try to get it up asap!!!
Also, the notes have been added as well as minor corrections.
