Photograph of Jamaican soldiers during target practice

After obtaining their independence from Britain by the end of the First Great War, the Republic of Jamaica was considered to be, more or less, irrelevant in the international stage. Abandoned by Britain and antagonized by the CSA, the young nation was unsure about its future and many wondered if they country would be in constant conflict against itself. Sometime during the 1930's, Jamaica attempted to improve its relationship with the USA, but initially only received little aid. The concern of Jamaica was comparable to that of Haiti... until Featherston began to gain more power.

When the Second Great War began, Jamaica fought a mostly defensive war against the Confederacy. Using some up-to-date technology from the United States, the Jamaicans were able to fight off the invading Confederate forces and was not subjected to the Population Reduction, although many deaths still occurred from the Defense of Jamaica. Today, the Jamaican army is a well-funded organization and enjoys its alliance with the United States.

Title Screen for the game Hearts of Iron 4. Known for Popular Mods such as the "Dixie" Mod, in which the Entente wins the First Great War and the United States goes Red and Revanchist and allies with a Communist Russia to overthrow the existing order.

Ok, I have heard of this HOI4 mod before. How does one obtain this to play? How much is it? Can anyone edit it?

Brutus [1] in a picture in 1948.

Brutus was a Red rebel during GW1 but escaped Confederate authorities and decided to lay low.
Though during the Population Reduction he was put in a camp. He survived and after the war,
moved to Liberia. There he established the Liberian Red League. In the first Liberian election after
the Second Great War, the Communists got 19% of the popular vote. The party would soon grow
and become one of the leading parties. Brutus died three months before the before the Liberian 1985
election where the Communists would win.

There is a memorial in Monrovia, the capital of the Liberian Commune

[1] = Brutus is still Harry Haywood, but since the Confederate Blacks were given Roman and Greek names
I kind of thought Brutus was a good name, so...

What are the others countries represented here? Are the portraits for the faction leaders still being chosen or are they finalized?

I believe (In Order from Left to Right) the Bottom Countries are: Austria-Hungary, Ottoman Empire, Italy, Bolshevik Rump in Caucasus, China, Argentina, Brazil, and Australia
The Top Countries are listed. Most of the Portraits have been taken from other mods, but some are created by other artists.

I see! So, what's already been agreed on then? Is the start date of this mod in 1935?

I think Oswald Mosely would be a better official leader of Silver Shirt Britain.

Also an alternative term for Fascism would probably more appropriate for TL-191, maybe "revivalism?"

Your gonna have to be specific for that first question.

Fascism has been renamed "Supremacism," and there are plans to add a "Brother-Ideology" called "Unityism" or "Unionism" or something like that. But I think Revivalism is a good name too.

And I think Mosley was only the War Minister, while Churchill was the Prime Minister.

Please do. It would also be an opportunity to ask the community here for about information and questions.

Barry Goldwater would be the First Republican in office since Blaine.
Assassinated by an African American, who later with an investigation
suggested that he was associated with Cassius Madison. He would be arrested eight months
after his assassination. This would outrage the Socialist Party. Later more evidence
would be found that Cassius did in deed do it.

Mugshot of Goldwater's assassin, Consus

That... doesn't make any sense.
