I did NOT expect that!!!!!

Tu requiescas in armis Sanctorum, Maximilianus Magnus, Imperator Mexici

I suspect they could, though probably not for a few years - perhaps in the mid-20s or early 30s. Arguably, Mexico exited the GAW in better shape than any of the Bloc Sud powers (Brazil got territorial concessions and 'won' but at a heavy cost and is suffering high political instability). Its...

I think Europe is going to be spared of Belgium in the not too distant future ...

I'm calling it right now: That Mad Lad drunkenly shoots the German Prince who is currently in Vienna trying to help the situation with the Magyars (and who was convinced to go there by his sister, the Empress of France). Is it a duel? Perhaps a paranoid delusion? Maybe our good German Prince...

This is a really good description of what's going on, I think. As someone who comes at things more from the Catholic side (both because I Am Catholic and also because Catholic History is what I'm ding me degree in) I too am a bit reluctant to speak on behalf of the Protestant worldviews, but...

But I'm impatient!!!!! :D Nah, it was an idea that came to me. I figue they're both young scions of established political familes, both fought in the war (the only reason Phil didn't enlist in the marines in OTL was because his Father put as much pressure on him as he possibly could to...

I for one cannot wait for the update wherein Bob LaFollette finally sees the writing on the wall and brings his machine organization over from the Liberal side to the Democrats. That is going to cause a whole helluva lot of political chaos in Wisconsin and though as detailed an article as the...

Haitian Peace Keepers were deployed to help restore order to Florida and Alabama ... ;)

Whoever the leader is who is in charge during the war. Haiti has a history of strong leaders declaring themselves kings or Emperors, and considering that Monarchism is stronger in Latin America and seen as more stable in Europe ... it kinda makes sense (especially since the Catholic Church in...

They might. But you know what they WOULDN'T have a problem with? Said territory being transfered to Germany's co-belligerent, Haiti (which would work out well, as it would deny France the territory, and would strengthen a country which has close economic and diplomatic ties to both the United...

I vote for Ireland Universalis - when Ireland usurps the mantle of the British Empire, unites the world, and reaches the stars! Ireland's colony of New Connacht in the Alpha Centari star system becomes the jewel in the Irish crown ;)

For Europe, yes. Though I suspect that the United States had it even worse than OTL (having just gotten done fighting a multi-year war, with the infrastructure still screwed up by Root's demobilization efforts, and the lackluster economy is going to cause more economic migrations than after WWI...

Oh thank god(Literally! Gotta stand up for my good Catholic monarchs :P )! I'm always sick of seeing the Habsburgs collapse in every timeline. I've long wondered if we don't see Austria and Hungary split between two different branches of the family. Franz Ferdinand faces exile, yes, but you...

This likely falls outside the immediate scope pf this to, as it focuses primarily on the United States. But the thought strikes me that the Union experiment in land redistribution, should it be successful (and it needs to be for this TL to reach the goals of the author) is going to be studied...
