Nice update @WarlordGandhi :)

However ... as usual some ... nitpicking questions :winkytongue:

What happened to the franco-russian alliance of 1894 ?
How was the russian reaction to the french ... desinterest in its ally being beaten by the brits ?
Also the french position against the Russia 'attacking' Poland ?
And wouldn't Finland and the Ukraine also have to be seen as 'agressors' against Russia nibbling on its territory (though not named in the wordings of the alliance) ?

With the Romanows going to Berlin instead of Paris ... might be a 'sign' already ?

Also :
Who will be seen by the 'international community' as the 'successor' in the russian goverments legal rights and obligations internationally ? (assets as well as debts i.e. ...)

Also :
It looks a wee bit surreal to me, that at the Algericas-Conference ITTL Russia won't be a 'theme' with all these Great or Big or formerly Big (Spain) Powers sitting on a table together.

France dishonoured the alliance, as honouring it would have brought France into a war with Great Britain, which would have ended badly for France. Obviously the Russians felt understandably betrayed but there was nothing they could really do.

All I will say now is that noone recognises the Soviet Republic

Algeciras Conference will address this soon

One thing's for certain; the great powers have a burning powder keg on their hands.




I fully agree that Germany and A-H cannot tolerate an independent Poland; the question is how will the other Great Powers react?

BTW any chance of a map showing what areas of Russia are controlled by which factions? Or at least a list?
