The linchpin of the war will be the Panama canal. If the NP can take it or even bomb it into oblivion and destroy the locks it will take the RU a long time to recover and repair it leaving them with a Caribbean in full rebellion and no way to assault South America in enough numbers. That gives...

Since the Japanese occupation never reached the horrendous levels of OTL and with their current state ITTL the Koreans see them as the best overlords, distant and allowing an almost entire free hand in everything. But China ITTL is not one that allows an independent country that is not their...

The Vistula-Tyras river frontier should be the most this still pre-industrial Rome could get ahead. After that you will need centuries before early industrialization and germanic cold resiliance would allow you to advance into OTL Russia.

Have they already found HIV?

The only hope of the Pact is to draw Brasil and the rest of the French Empire into the fight.

That perspective won't change for at least a couple of generations until the population rises to the pre-plague levels.

The best the Spanish could do right now is to take that map and sign a border treaty agreement with both the American King and Parliament to enshrine those borders and agree that any American that crosses that border is liable to be deported without any compensation. Otherwise they risk a...

They won't. As per the previous chapter: The Latins will be the first to tread the path of abolitionism instead of lingering slavery on the homeland and brutal slavery on the West from the Romans.

The BEIC will rue the day they awakened the dragon ahead of schedule. With China wealth and increasing military prowess they could eventually claim tribute from all of SE Asia.

Keeping the non-European criollos (Spanish descent born in the Americas) and the European Spanish on a same legal level and with equal chances of reaching the top jobs in the colonies will allow the Spanish crown decades of contentment as the criollos are the only important opinion in the...

Yeah, but with town and cities firmly established on the coast the only way the not-Americans will reach the Pacific is through warfare upon the Russians or Spanish.

Oh yes, finally some conflict xD

So long as the current King leaves matters of state to his ministers and doesn't enter any ruinous wars, revolution seems unlikely. The French are still in the happiness stage after the destruction of the UK XD

With the Irish there are 5 kings XD But anyway the permanent split of the British isles are the best news not only for the French but for the rest of the European mainland nations that can now dedicate themselves to reach continental dominion without perfidious Albion getting in the way.

A Chinese Empire that modernizes more than 2 centuries before OTL could end up being quite a terrifying entity on its own right.

So an inversion of the comitatenses and limitanei formations? The heavy ones on the frontiers and the light ones for internal police duties?

So only the Americans have slavery (even if reduced) still on their shores? If Napoleon is given the chance to rise to generalship he could repeat his feats in Italy and this time help pave the way to Italian unification.

A firm Russian presence in Hawaii would cripple any attempt by the Kingdom of America to get into the Pacific unless they can wrestle the Spanish Pacific islands like OTL.

So it seems that the top down abolition of slavery worked for the French. They may get less money due to less sugar production but the military costs will get lower as well offsetting the changes and maybe even actually making more money for the French crown.

Of course Texas and beyond are still firmly Spanish at this point since there is little interest in American settlement and exploration beyond the expansive and still available lands of Louisiana and New France.
