By millions I mean a markedly higher number killed on France's side (approximately two million), with a slightly lower deathtoll on Germany's side (the lack of an Eastern Front meaning Germany loses approximately 1.9 million). This is combined with casualties from expeditionary forces from the...

At risk of being irritating I'm going to again prod people towards my map, since the whole "post the map in the map thread to get a critique and possibly improve the map and my map-making skills" grows somewhat more difficult when the map passes with litte to no notice :p

Made a few editations to my last map, primarily fixing a few little mistakes and adding a pixel or two here and there.

William Pitt the Younger had promised that Catholic Emancipation would accompany the Act of Union of 1800, which is to say that various restrictions on Roman Catholics would be abolished alongside the Act of Union. However due in large part to George III's opposition to any form of relaxation of...

Hey, could be worse, I've had no comments on two maps over the course of six hours :p

Since I was bored and my last map was uncommented on, I decided to repost my map with some small changes and a more in-depth description. Europe is a changed place. The continent is now home to ten new nations: Bohemia, Bosnia, Croatia, Estonia, Finland, Georgia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania...

And yet approximately ten? Maybe fifteen pages of this thread are devoted to commenting on the aforementioned maps? :p

It's not the only one :p

Since I had too much free time on my hands I decided to make a sequel to my last map. While the first map was set in 1900 this one is set in 1914, a year after the Great War of 1908 between the Entente and and the League of Three Emperors ended with the Treaty of London. As you can see, the...

Well there was some more limited movement of the population after Irish independence IOTL, primarily of Protestants (approximately 40,000 or so, roughly 30% of the South's Protestant population) going to the North (mostly former membersof the RIC or the landed classes) and some Catholics going...

Off the top of my head I think the percentages were approximately 70% in Northern Ireland (with sizeable majorities in Down and Antrim, and thinner ones elsewhere, especially in Fermanagh and Tyrone) and about 10% in the rest of Ireland (with a sizeable proportion of that being in Leinster)...

Ulster with an opt out would be the best possibility for avoiding violence. Unfortunately IOTL the Nationalists were offered a 32 county Home Rule parliament immediately by Asquith. Then over time that was diluted: temporary exclusion for four Ulster counties, permanent exclusion for six...

Putting to one side how Collins is meant to do this (Britain wasn't going to give away the north and at the time of OTL's Anglo-Irish Truce the IRA was verging on collapse due to shortages of supplies) the Ulster counties under rule from Dublin would make the Troubles look fantastic. Remember...

There, as I've nothing else to do I've the Munroist version of the map complete, including the alliances and a few little titbits of information

Paraguay unfortunately had the misfortune of drawing the ire of both Brazil and Argentina at the time when relations between the larger two nations were at a high point. Paraguay managed to draw itself into a situation similar to the OTL War of the Triple Alliance, and whereas IOTL the...

Thank you. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's sick of the Inevitable Italian East Africa (TM), and Germany's interest in East Africa somewhat threw a spanner in the works of any Italian thoughts in that direction. And as I said, I forgot to edit that bit of the base map, the Malay Peninsula...

Thanks, I'll get to that for the updated version :) Egypt is I'd say the closest this world came to any country "pulling a Meiji" (as you can see Japan was much less lucky ITTLY than it was IOTL). As the Ottoman Empire's decline really sped up following several defeats at the hands of Russia...
