I live in the Hudson Valley, so these updates are especially exciting. Keep it up!

There are definately some huge tensions right now. Many dont care for the Allies, and a lot of merchants are losing money because of the blockade. I think its interesting the point about seling out Mexico and Canada. I think it depends how the war is going. The Allies might get a big head...

The United States and the Beginning of the Great War The Roosevelt Presidency ended with a whimper and not a bang really; there was no international crisis, no landmark domestic achievement that was signed on his last day in office. His second term was chock full of achievements there was no...

I would agree that its a lot easier said than done also. The logistics problems the Russians face is really quite bad, although its getting a bit better. Also like you said, Russia will probably divert forces to Europe for the spring, whether from this front or the Pacific. So a stalemate could...

The Persian Front During the Winter of 1919-20 The unusually cold winter of 1919-1920 made many of the fronts around Europe. In Galicia, the Balkans, Bavaria and Poland, everyone seemed to bunker down for the season, waiting for the world to come back to life, so they could kill it again...

Sorry guys! the last few weeks have been super busy. Ill have an update this week, promise.

Snapshots Aleksy Wojciech October 1st, 1919 Lodz, Free Poland Breathing heavily, Aleksy Wojciech rushed into Józef Piłsudski’s temporary headquarters in the basement of a gutted out apartment in Lodz. “I have news Komendant” “Speak, quickly.” “The Russians,” he quickly spit on the floor...

These are good points regarding British control of the sea. However I doubt Americans will be very receptive of the British view on things when it comes to news coming from Europe, regardless of whether they have the loudest voice. Spengler has it about right. France is still a mystery...

Nice conversations! We'll go over the French soon, but I don't want to give anything away of course! I think it will depend on how the Austrian offensive in the spring goes, and what the British do in Europe. The British are currently moving around the Med, capturing some African colonies...

The Pacific Theater: 1919 The war in Asia was kick-started with the entry of Japan into the Great War on June 22nd. Most in the area had expected war soon, and had made preparations. The Russian fleet at Dalny had left port, wary that the Japanese would net them in the Yellow Sea from their...

Interesting speculation. I guess we shall see shant we? But youre correct about France and Greece; they are in (or out) for themselves, and they are calculating very quietly while the world goes to hell. As for the Eastern Front, if you meant the Pacific, is here.

China and the War of the Four Emperors While the fighting in Europe only began in 1919, on the other side of the world, it was nothing new. Since 1915, China had been experiencing on and off fighting because of the 1913 overthrow of the young Emperor Puyi, thus ending the centuries long Qing...

To be honest I think they want nothing to do with it. They may want to expand along the Aegean at the expense of Bulgaria, or maybe try and get some more islands at the expense of the Ottomans, but there are also huge cons for both. If they side with the Allies, they would have to ally with...

Yes. Ill be covering it later on, but I may do it in short stories from a more personal view. Not as much a regular update. Ottoman Libya will be covered in a later update. France is looking very closely at the map. If there is a possibility they may jump at it. But they may not have a...

The Bear Strikes South! That cry could be heard throughout many European capitals. Indeed, the Russians had begun their invasion of the Ottoman Empire, until this time a neutral party to the war, or so they thought. It was of Russia’s opinion that the invasion indeed had a casus belli, that of...

The Summer of '19 With the speed at which the powers in Europe declared war, one would think they would be more aggressive in their tactics. This was not the case. Many Generals who remembered the German Wars knew that offense meant unsustainable casualties, and postponed offensive action...

Well it depends how and when Napoleon III dies really. My TL has a Napoleon IV dying at quite an inconvenient time, so Napoleon IV's rule is quite autocratic.

They event might just be labeled July 11th, instead of the numerals.

Warfare Technology Although the Great War would be fought with many of the same actors as the German Wars, the way it would be fought would become drastically different as the war dragged on. During the Avant-Guerre years, advances in military technology brought new opportunities when it came...

This may be off-topic, but I was wondering how you apportion the electoral votes, and congressional seats, for each state, especially the alternate ones, every election cycle. Do you do it randomly? Or is there a method, like the Hungtington-Hill method?
