World War I was also good for over-the-top propaganda!
Somewhat ironically, WWI propaganda in the USA at least was much more anti-German ( as opposed to anti-Nazi) than the WWII propaganda was!
Couple more comments:
In the early 19th century New Spain looked like it was on its way to becoming a major power, but I can see that this was not to be. :frown:
Now, its successors in Mexico and Central America look like prime targets for the Societists who control almost all of South America...
I vaguely remember that poster, mostly as Eurofed - I guess there are some exceptions.
Thinking about it some more, I guess quite a few people in OTL who think that their culture is superior to others might also think that the world would be better if everyone just did things their way. Very...
Wow, I last left this timeline in the 1830s or so, and now I've spent a few hours looking at bits and pieces of the story, comments, and maps, in an attempt to get some idea of what's happened over the next 70 years. There's still huge stretches I haven't read, which I will try to do when I...
Excellent post! I agree totally - a push to acquire Cuba by war would only happen if the Kansas-Nebraska Act can be avoided. The Black Warrior incident followed by unleashing more filibuster expeditions could definitely lead to war. Question is - would the US win a war? I know nothing about...
I've been doing some reading about the history of slavery in the United States and the debate that it generated, and one thing that gets mentioned a lot but is never gone into in depth is the desire of many white Americans from the slave states, and some from the free states as well, to acquire...
Definitely better for Spain in the long run, without the huge expense of fighting the Netherlands rebels. If butterflies mean that Henri II of France isn't killed in a jousting accident, France might have stronger leadership in the later 16th century and start challenging the Spanish in Italy...
Possible, but from what I've read Eisenhower was pretty determined not to get US troops involved long term in Lebanon.
Congo seems like a distinct possibility. In the USA, being involved in a war against an African enemy is likely to exacerbate racial tensions beyond even what they were in the...
Well, predators like lions and tigers are obviously a big threat to both people and livestock, plus it would probably take a dedicated and expensive program to establish them, so this is kind of unlikely. Maybe if a groups of wealthy aristocrats wants to establish them so they could hunt them...
I don't think the first is that implausible - it's certainly what the US government feared the most and the CS government hoped for the most.
Agreed on the readability part.
It looks like almost every city is at least a little bit out of place, though some are much worse than others, such as Charlotte apparently being in West Virginia.
