Interesting. I suppose Bulgaria is unchanged because it was made before Bulgarian entry.

No Constantinople?

And yet, for Russia to keep it, Russia only has to do absolutely nothing. Russia has no more reason to leave Alaska than to leave any other part of the Arctic. I'm rather more annoyed by the idea that any random up and comer can (and will have the intention to) buy Alaska, and always around the...

Woah.

He(?) means that the Ottomans received millions of immigrants IOTL, although the vast majority of these were Muslim refugees from the Balkans and Russia (and some colorful exceptions like that Polish community just outside Istanbul). Pretending that the Germany, Italy and the British Isles are...

This is a 20th century cliche. The 19th century cliche is to have it annexed to the US. Worse, Spain is dying to sell Cuba and the Philippines for peanuts and will do 5 years after the POD if it's not the POD itself.

If the German foreign office was smart they'd try to use this to drive a nail between the Japanese and the rest of the Entente. Of course, we know it wasn't smart.

One is compelled to ask why anyone would want to follow Lopez.

Mohammed threw out the idols from the Kaaba, you know.

Hmmm... citation needed.

I'd like to know the plausibility of Boulanger becoming dictator around 1890 and restoring the House of Orleans.

The offer of annexation was a scam.

Any of Juan Prim's options for a new monarchy in Spain succeeding fits the bill, as it would pitch them against Alfonsines and Carlists: Savoy, Hohenzolern, Saxony-Coburg-Gotha. The closest would be Espartero accepting the crown but, he was offered it in the first place because they knew he...

I thought he was poisoned. Or there is reason to think he was, at least.

Well he kinda did when he had Brazil join the Central Powers against Britain.

Don't rule out the possibility of Turtledove having the CSA mirror Russia and losing the war, only to see the USA lose too to an Entente last saving offensive. So both American countries lose, and neither is allowed by foreigners to profit from the other country's collapse. If you are wondering...
