Obviously a Democratic President would not declare war on the CSA over the purchase of Sonora and Chihuahua. The outrage over inaction leads to a Republican victory in 1884. Faced with no major causes for war, the Republicans remain a legitimate force in US politics and the Socialists never rise...

Perhaps an ASB scenario where the Americas are entirely removed and Columbus's calculations were correct (but keeping everything else the same i.e. tides, gravity, etc.)?

I was under the impression that heavy water was a dead end in terms of nuclear weapons production. The Manhattan Project produced two devices, a gun-type device using enriched uranium-235 (which was highly inefficient) and an implosion-type device using plutonium-239. So, if the Nazis get their...

Hrmm. I have been watching this timeline with some interest but this latest turn of events has left me confused. Thematically it makes sense as it's unexpected for France to attack the US, plus you get an ahistorical allusion with a surprise naval attack the against the US naval base at Bermuda...

Great timeline, looking forward to see it develop. I struggle to see how a US-Japanese war can break out here. IOTL the cause was the Oil Embargo, which shouldn't be an issue if Japan and Russia are so close.

Great images. The Apollo-N flight was actually manned? That seems unnecessarily dangerous.

For #3, my guess is Manchuria. #4, is it some kind of Argentinian non-fascist remnant?

Historically only 15% of the US war effort went to the Pacific; 85% went to Europe. Even if the US isn't fighting Japan, yet somehow declares war on Germany in December 1941, there really isn't any way to majorly accelerate the war. 1943 is probably still too early for a cross-channel invasion...

Looks like Earth during the Cretaceous Period.

Part of the deal for getting Greece into the German-Russian alliance without giving them any territory from Bulgaria. Also it further punishes the rump Ottoman state. I'm still deciding what to do with China. This version has China split between the Qing and the Russians. (Short version: China...

Part of the basemap. I've updated the post with the completed map. Interesting. I had been going for the look of the White Ensign...

Thanks. The idea was to identify the new English state is resolutely Republican, hence the flag. I did change the colours slightly - used the same red as the English flag, and the green from the Welsh flag as a sop to Welsh nationalists. Rather than do any serious alt-history stuff (:p), I've...

Flag of the Republic of England (England and Wales, no Scotland or Ireland) in a post-Kaiserreich timeline I'm working out.

Been messing around in Kaiserreich for the past month or so. Flag of Canada that includes the states of New England and upstate New York.

Precisely my thought. Sam survives both wars and despite the odds goes from an enlisted man to Lieutenant Commander. Then after all that he develops melanoma from decades of sun exposure and dies an early death in late 1940s-early 1950s.
