Good to see this is back Glen! I was just wondering the other day
Also, is there any particular reason why you use the word "Global"? I had the feeling it was a word of recent currency and a very cursory search online suggests that the first usage was as late as 1893, from French
Nice update but can we please get a world map showing the opposing sides in the current war?

Been away from things for a month
so belated commiserations over you're loss.
Looks like some good updates and Mexico is out of the enemy alliance.
Which might also make the other enemy states in southern America think over their position. [To protect the guilty I won't name them AKA I've forgotten who's fighting who.]
The future of Miskito could be an awkward point. They may well want to rejoin the empire and at least some in Britain will want them to. However controlling one end of a trans-isthmus canal their location is rather sensitive and with a global war still far from won Britain might value the friendship of the new Mexican government more. Hopefully they will get their choice but it may not happen.
In Europe it sounds like things are swinging the Liberals way but probably still a long way to go unless either a moderate peace is negotiated [which after so much fighting is probably unlikely] or the Korsgaardistas start cracking quickly.
Not unless you're Mongol, or Arab and it took a fair bit of doing for them. Suspect that the terrain and logistics plus the military skill of the Sikhs as well as their allies the Russians are going to see very little success. Possibly also some roll back in their empire if things really start to fall apart. What happens to Persia and further east however?

Delicate is a good way to describe the negotiations...
Just remember Clinton's 1992 campaign...
That is a question - what do you think?
- sorry that rings no bells in terms of relevance. [Can't remember too much about the campaign either other than he defeated Bush senior].
Depending on the degree of victory and desires of the winners Persia could well lose land to both allied neighbours [i.e. Turks and Sikhs] plus possibly some coastal positions to Britain, if only as influence. Or if allied losses have also been heavy or Britain decides it doesn't want too much of an imbalance in the region it could apply pressure for a more limited peace.
Further east a lot of variables, most especially I can barely remember what was going on. Think Japan was partitioned between pro-British and pro-Russia groups so could see it united under the former. China depends on the situation. [Think southern China, was it something like USC, was moderate and liberal and probably will make big gains against the northern empire. Also was Manchuria independent? Could have a lot of changes there].

Thanks for the map but I must have missed something. When and why did the USA join the war?

foreshadowing?
While I do intend to fill in things in the past from time to time (and have), some of you may be wondering why I chose to do so now in the throws of the Global War. The answer is simply this - it is an homage.
Last night my much beloved grandmother died peacefully in her sleep in her late 90s. She was a strong, intelligent, delightful woman who had won a scholarship to college, but was never able to go. It was something she told me on several occasions. She is a direct descendant of the Kays, and I have given this ATL 'relative' of hers her name and an educational achievement that I think my grandmother would have liked.
Actually, Afghanistan has been successfully invaded, occupied, and incorporated dozens of times. It's just that White Empires suck at it, so people assume it's impossibleInvading Afghanistan: It never works.
Sorry to hear about your loss, Glen. I honestly believe she would have been very proud of this tribute, though.
