Another socialist movement was going on I believe, in the most unlikeliest of all places: America's southern neighbor, Mexico.
It was mentioned in Breakthroughs and Men of Iron since the First Great War was just about over and Turtledove needed filler. But was is interesting is that this...
Its a bit late, but Turtledove explained it during an interview that those soldiers exported it all over the South as they kicked the Confederates' asses along the way. That kind of makes sense, considering there may have been Union soldiers that settled down there after the war. Still, its...
I've been reading this since you first advertised it. It's really good so far, I just didn't know what else to say. Your POD sounds belivable and the butterflies are appearing everywhere.
Do not be discouraged, there are others like me who read this but feel they can't comment because they...
Finally caught up to this point. Very impressive as always, wolf_brother. A couple of comments though:
Can't recall which post, but I thought you were trying to avoid an ACW analogue; this recent chapter makes me think you changed your mind on it. Am I mistaken or is there another...
Well, looks like this TL is over. Great run though, you made it to TTL's present-day.
I'm kind of confused though with the whole landship=tank. When did that happen? Was it really obvious or was it a subtle change kind of thing?
And I'm very curious over the different doctrines in tank...
My favorite anime of all time. World domination, over-the-topness, and mechas all rolled into one. Second season could have been executed better, but eh.
Anyway, what's up with the third season? Is it still in production or what?
I think the assumption is that the South's going to be ruled as a dictatorship. They just got one or two of their Presidents killed and they caused one of the bloodiest wars in America's history over whether or not blacks were slaves or humans. They're going to sit on the traitors, their...
Out of confusion, define "terrorist attacks." Do you mean bushwacking activities in the ex-Confederacy, or actual attacks on U.S. proper at the time? May the Confederates try something crazy like blow up Congress?
And as much as the North is abolutionist, it still has that sense of white...
Very interesting take. Hamlin did have political favors to fulfill, so that could translate into even more incompetence until industrial might and population make up for it. That, and the now prevailing paranoia that the Confederates and/or Democrats are trying to deliberately to decapitate...
To be fair, there were a few "yella bellies" who were willing to transplant the government somewhere else (as awesome as my smart phone is, I can't go to Wiki to find said people without leaving this site). But you are correct, the fire-eaters would rather be hanged and martyred than run away...
I actually like Napoleon, despite being American. His military tactics were some of the best of his day, excluding the Peninsular War and his march to Moscow. He helped push through a comprehensive law code that genuinely looked out for his people and made sure those who did wrong were brought...
Wow, you don't hear that every day. Then again, it beats banal names such as Ball, Alabama.
On-topic: how long do you think the radicals can hold on to their power before everyone gets fed up and votes in an opposition party or the Republican moderates/conservatives? (assuming marshal law...
