DBWI: I found this odd alternate map.

Partly different numbering, if I remember correctly - they didn't count the "American Revolution" and "French Revolution" as a first world war. But then, they were lucky by not having anything like our Second World War.
The American Eagle time line is a good read.
It's basically an Americanwank. It goes all the way to 2100. Most of the world is bickering among each other.
Sure there are some rough patches like a civil war and fighting Nazis. But America is first to the moon, first to mars and the first to build an underwater city just to name a few accomplishments.

Wasn't that sort of by accident, though? And not properly waterproofed, to say the least?
To be fair, the 2017 of American Eagle isn't so great, either. Sure, there's no WWIV but in that's only because instead of utilizing rocket technology to set up bases on the moon they stick nuclear weapons in them, something that the Treaty of Vienna outlawed in OTL after WWIII. Instead AE has terrorism, the constant threat of Armageddon, an unstable Africa, and they haven't even invented fusion yet.
I see...
Oh, I apologized if I commented earlier without realizing that the said map is used in "American Eagle" scenario; I am currently reading "Manifest Destiny", which exactly used the same map.
I mean, honestly WWIV stopped being that bad after around a year, when the Hapsburgs fully conquered Spain. Since then it's basically been a naval war between the German Empire, Brazil, and China. Now, if both sides had nukes... but I guess the Russo-Indian nuclear exchange at the end of WWIII made nuclear disarmament inevitable.
I'm not the biggest fan of Latin America in AE. Instead of the rivalry between the syndies and monarchists in OTL the region isn't very influential.
My guess actually was that New Courland probably conquered the French and British colonies.
It's like the author didn't know much Latin American history so rather than actually research it he pretended it didn't exist. The same thing exists for Africa, TBH; having the Sokoto Caliphate collapse for no reason was foolishness, as was having the Ethiopian Empire randomly collapse.
