Patreon is always an option since it avoids some of the copyright issues you yourself describe

And I’m excited to hear there’s more to come! Looks like I timed my read-through perfectly, haha
It does, just have to figure out how exactly it works with the Danish tax system as well.

Don't want to get people's hopes up too much. Still need to complete my read-through and edit before I even start getting into proper planning mode. I do have ideas and thoughts for what is to come, but a lot of it is vague and just a couple notes from whenever an idea struck me - making it into something workable will take time. Beyond that, I am going to need to build up a bit of a back-log before I start posting.

One thing I am doing with my re-read is writing down an overview of the main points in every update, which I hope to post when I finally get up to update 40. That will allow people who aren't up for re-reading 800k worth of timeline to get back into the flow of things quickly, and know exactly where to go if they find themselves wanting to reread a particular part of the timeline. I cover so much ground with my timeline that even I get lost at times.

I know the feeling… I’ve probably forgotten about 70% of what I’ve written in Cinco de Mayo! Haha
 
The Sealion Press specialises in publishing alternate history; however I'm not sure how they deal with the copyright issues you outlined. In any case, best of luck for your rework and even though I've read the whole story, the recap that you are describing would still be very useful to me.
 
Oh my, I see Zulfurium is back(ish)! I had to re-read the Sweden update to refresh myself on where ADiJ left off, but I look forward to seeing where things go next.

Oh and Zulfurium, I appreciate how in the Sweden update you've laid the groundwork for Sweden's inevitable (and natural) domination of Denmark. It's heartening to see the Danes will realize their natural inclination to recognize the rule of the Uberskandinavisch. :p

It is still going to be quite a while before any new stuff comes out. I am making my way through the timeline, writing up notes on each section, so that I can provide something of a full summary of the timeline up until the most recent part, and working the dense blocks of text I have written into something more readable, but it is slow going. I am a wordy writer and have lots of other things taking up my time (not least that I am moving to a new apartment next wednesday), so just reading through the whole timeline and editing it is going to take quite some time.

I am about half-way through Update 23 so far, so everything written after the hiatus is still to come, something like 500k words IIRC, so time and patience.

As far as any of the Nordic nations dominating the others, I would think Denmark more than holds its claim to being the natural ruler - we are the only one of the four to actively rule the whole shitshow, after all. :p

That said, my hope is to close out the Nordic Interludes as a way of getting back into the rhythm of things when I finally get back to writing.

Plan at the moment is to complete the read-through and edit, post the full summary, then go through and plan out the next proper arc of the timeline (lots of disparate ideas, but only a vague idea of the wider trends), write enough on it to develop at least something of a backlog, and only then will I be ready to really put new content out there. Even then, update schedule likely won't be anything like earlier. I am working full time now with something that actively uses creative energy, so I don't have as much energy or time to spend on the timeline as earlier.
 
I spy that Prussia and Austria have not regained their 1795 Third Partition borders in 1918...
All of that is bound up in how the end of the Great War plays out, the Copenhagen Treaty and particularly the collapse of the A-H empire into civil war afterwards. The Germans never tried to secure the Third Partition borders and Austrian Galicia ultimately was swallowed up by Poland during the Civil War.

Restoring Prussia/Germany's 1795 borders has historical precedent:p!

I still want a WWI where *Prussia's* historical borders are restored. (I know we get TL where the Allies post WWII split Germany into pieces, but I don't think I've seen one where the victors tried in WWI.

Warschau, capital city of New East Prussia?

While an intriguing thought, extending Prussia to the 1795 borders would quite literally make any sort of accommodation with the Poles impossible. It would require a rather different group at the top compared to what I have ITTL for it to have any likelihood.
 
Yes, among their many negative world records, the Nazis also managed to pulverise Germany's "Great Power" potential. On the other hand, at least for the Western half of Germany, the development post-WW2 was of such unprecedented dynamics as can probably only happen with a highly skilled workforce, lots of resources, good economic integration AND a blank industrial slate. Any TL with more industrial and scientific continuity in Germany is not just going to be "more scientific progress from Germany", which is better for Germany of course, but also "older industry" and "probably pointless and costly involvement in global power politics", which isn't necessarily. Whether OTL's or TTL's Germany is going to be technologically and economically more advanced by, say, 2000, or the present, is an entirely open question, if you ask me.
This is a rather underrated point - Germany could just as easily have fallen into the “rent-seeking, navel-gazing incumbents” that that befell the US and UK economically, which to me is honestly a more interesting hook than a pure Germanwank

@Zulfurium , have just finished Ali and Nino. Given the changed historical circumstances, how would the ending of the novel be different, assuming that Kurban Said still gets around to writing it?

Furthermore, how have inter-sectional relations in the Caucasus been affected by Sunni Ottoman rule over the Shia Azeris?

I haven't read Ali and Nino myself, so this is working off a basic description from wikipedia. Just to start with, I am unsure if the novel would even be published ITTL, given the massacres and worsened persecutions of Christians in the Ottoman Empire. A novel about the relationship between a Muslim and a Christian would be even more controversial and I am not sure it would be able to be published in much of the region.

That said, the focus of the novel would likely be earlier than the OTL novel, focusing on the Caucasian diaspora. Thinking about it, the novel would be more likely to focus on the persecution of Christians around Baku, followed by the flight to Central Asia for the conflicts between Khiva and Bukhara. The whole structure and focus of the novel's second half would be changed, because all that really happens is Baku is taken by the Ottomans, who hold on to it from then on forward. Maybe the novel might focus on the post-war societal and economic boom in Baku, as the Ottomans invest into the region.

The Sunnia-Shia divide in the Caucasus isn't too great of an issue at this point. There are soft pressures to convert, but no ongoing persecutions or the like. Mainly the Azeris find themselves pressured by the arrival of a large minority of Sunni Turks, who settle in and around Baku predominantly and rise to positions of prominence in the economic, political and social spheres, as part of the aforementioned Baku boom.

Hope that answers your questions.
 
Quick question: how have the main conspirators of the 20 July plot ended up ITTL?
Do you have anyone specific in mind?

I went through where a bunch of major Nazi regime figures have ended up in Informational Four.

Taking a quick look, most of them are probably somewhere in the military works, making their way through the chain of command.

Status of OTL July 20th Conspirators:

Beck: He is initially involved in the scholarly study of the Great War under Hoffmann before falling into the circle surrounding von Seeckt and by extension Crown Prince Wilhelm. Beck is deeply involved in the internal politics of the German military, proving a particularly adept intriguer, involved in the internal machinations and power struggles amongst the officers surrounding the Crown Prince. He holds a General Staff.

Stauffenberg: He joined his ancestral regiment in 1926 as per OTL and joins the Georgkreis as IOTL. However, differently from OTL this Georgkreis is part of the wider German Freedom movement and as such Stauffenberg ends up part of that whole political movement ITTL which has a growing presence within military circles. He is a rising military officer, but isn't really in a position to hold much influence at this point in time.

Olbricht: He doesn't reach anywhere close to the prominence he got OTL because the Versailles Treaty cuts don't occur in TTL. He is one of the many mid-range officers in the General Staff who supports the Lossberg wing of the military.

Goerdeler: He leaves the military as per OTL and begins his career as a conservative politician in the DKP. He doesn't join the DNVP, lacking the same sort of radicalizing impetus of OTL, and by the mid-1930s has risen to being a mid-level figure in the Conservative Block. Not a leading politician, but a rising one. He is pretty firmly stuck in the mainstream current of the Conservatives.

Tresckow: He leaves military life post Great War as per OTL and spends the next while studying and throwing himself into business. He doesn't marry into the Falkenhayns and instead ends up on the edges of the German Freedom movement politically while building up business and social connections across the Zollverein. Tresckow is well on his way to being a financial magnate by the mid-1930s and a prominent figure in the expat communities of eastern Europe.

Fellgiebel: He is a forceful and upwardly mobile officer associated with the von Kuhl wing of the military, proving a leading proponent of communications technology and the continued development of signal systems. He has matched his OTL achievement of becoming a major general in 1938. He is set to be a major figure in the post-Kuhl/Lossberg days of the military.

Leber: He follows his OTL trajectory into the SPD and political leadership, remaining as engaged with defense policy as OTL. He has risen to a middling position within the SPD's more defense oriented figures. Perhaps in a new SPD government he might get some considerations as a longshot for a lesser ministry.

Oster: He remains in the military ITTL and after the whole Krivitsky Case transfers into the German intelligence services.

Haeften: Remains in civilian life as a banker ITTL.

Bonhoeffer: He spends time in the US like IOTL before returning to a teaching position at the University of Berlin. Later, following the Abyssinian civil war, he is brought in to advise on the situation in the country and eventually dispatched to serve in the embassy there. His writings are less openly focused on martyrdom and "costly discipledom" and more on the liberal, socially-supportive and missionary elements of his thoughts.

Bolz: He is a politician in Würrtemburg as per OTL and grows into a pretty significant proponent of the Revolutionary Catholic Church in Germany. He isn't a national presence, but definitely a regional figure of significance. His interests in the RCC do make him too controversial to become the Staatspresident of Württemberg.

Loezer: He joins the fighting in Russia in the early 1920s and serves with distinction. Following that he remains a part of the German Luftstreitkraefte and has by the late 1930s risen to a senior inspectorial position as in OTL.

Boeselager: He is barely twenty at this point. Just joined the military in 1939, driven by the outcry over the Krivitsky Case.

Benardis: He is another of those junior officers just starting to emerge.
 
Tresckow: He leaves military life post Great War as per OTL and spends the next while studying and throwing himself into business. He doesn't marry into the Falkenhayns and instead ends up on the edges of the German Freedom movement politically while building up business and social connections across the Zollverein. Tresckow is well on his way to being a financial magnate by the mid-1930s and a prominent figure in the expat communities of eastern Europe.
TIL @Tresckow is named for a real person. Idk how I forgot about this guys existence because I'm pretty sure I've had to come across him in my own studies at some point.
