What can they do? Most of the US Army is either facing the Confederate armies in the Eastern coast or east of the Mississippi. And their navy is fully invest in the blockade, isn't it?

The wars of independence in Spanish America would have continued anyway. Without his personal touch, Gran Colombia may have managed to stay united through a federalist constitution. Beyond Gran Colombia frontiers the only directly affected country would have been Peru which may or may not have...

Remembering my Victoria II lore the "Ostend Manifesto" was a chance to claim Cuba for the US, perhaps use it earlier than OTL to filibuster a war against Spain,

You can't have a long term monetary union without having a single fiscal union as well. See what is happening to the Euro, a monetary union without a fiscal one that allows members to overspend themselves to bankruptcy.

Could the Mexican Republic, before the European intervention declare war only to the Confederacy with the stated purpose of recovering Texas and looting money to pay its debts? That would give Mexico a credit extension so no French intervention while giving the US little power to do anything but...

There you have your new emperor whom Napoleon will have to serve once he gets back xD

The schism was a work in progress by this time, no? Eventually the kings in western Europe will nationalize their churches to escape any byzantine influence, so I'm not sure how much this kind of Council will help in the unity of the Church.

Right. coup in progress then?

True, but the leading politicians of the Reichstag have surely been informed about the long-term weather perspectives and know that the space investment is necessary. If all major parties are aboard with this there will be no repercussions due to this spending instead of reconstruction.....for a...

Yeah, but any balance was shattered later when Prussia formed the German Empire. So with a little bit more of foresight the French could have intervened to stop the Prussians and the result would have been as said two German Federations, one north lead by Prussia and a Southern one led by Austria.

Ok, up to now I could see the alternate history in action. But by replaying the OTL Pacific war scenario of Japan vs US I have lost any interest in following this TL, no matter how well written, sorry. Unsubscribed.

The Germans are desperate for hard data about the cold weather and if it will turn into an ice age. So more space investment.

A Japanese-Indian alliance would be enough to marshall the minor countries of SE Asia and cage China for a long, long time.

Japan will never accept US presence in the Asian mainland or the major islands, they'd rather declare war first. However the conquest of SE Asia is almost complete and they may accept giving up the Aleutians to keep the US out and concentrated on Canada. Since in this TL the author has...

The Germans must go to scrapping the barrel, taking the men out of the factories and putting women in them, plus equipping every single nationalist and anti-russian partisan they can get their hands on. To do less than that is to invite defeat in detail like OTL WWI.

The rational course for South America is to stay away from the war and sell to all sides. But with a communist Brazil scaring everyone in the neighborhood that result is unlikely.

The embargo stops hurting as much as OTL when the Japanese have indonesian oil and unrestricted access to colonial resources without fear of US naval forces in the Philippines or anywhere west of Hawaii really.

Without fear of American military interference the Japanese have a free hand in SE Asia and none of the Allies can stop them. If the Japanese are intelligent enough they will start to agitate British India and promise them independence if they rise against the British which would break the...

Not quick enough. Bonaparte has less than 15 thousand against 50 thousand Ottoman troops. The only way he may win is to pin the Ottomans with his infantry (bleeding both sides) while the Lebanese assault from a flank or the rear. A frontal assault will see them slaughtered.

With France they can knock out Italy which should have most of its forces on the eastern Austrian frontier. And with Turkey they can open another front in the Caucasus and to encircle the Persian front. But what can they offer to the US? Their protectorates in Central America and the Panama...
