- In the Revolutions of 1848, the German Confederation was dissolved. Prussia took the initiative to set up the Erfurt Union in its wake, in which it would replace Austria's position as the head of the organization. - A conflict broke out between the Electoral Prince of Hesse-Kassel and his...

The Republic of Texas, 1843 to 1852 1843 April 23rd – President Kenneth Anderson orders Alexander Horton to lead 500 militia into East Texas to bring to an end the Regulator-Moderator War. Horton is immediately arrested, but soon released. The conflict is not solved. September 9th – President...

The United States of America, 1845 to 1852 1845 March 3rd – Florida joins the Union as the 27th state. March 4th – Henry Clay succeeds William Henry Harrison as President of the United States of America. September – The Warehouse Act is signed as mitigation to the South for the American...

I have a more powerful Swedish Empire in my Berwick timeline. The British Commonwealth under Cromwell unifies with the Netherlands, and keeps them in check by dismantling (or stealing) most of their fleet, and establishing a military dictatorship over the Republic. While the Anglo-Dutch...

Well, I was just going off on a tangent, I wasn't really arguing a point based on this question. Nevertheless, I don't think that just because North Carolina left the last, they were the most likely to stay within the Union.

Thandiana, established after the American Revolution by rebellious poor white farmers led by Thande Oliver Miller. When they sent their emissaries to Washington D.C. demanding their own state because of North Carolina's abuse, Washington was having trouble with North Carolina anyway over federal...

Why wouldn't there be a revolution? Its not like some Russian civilian said, "Hey, why don't we start a revolution?" And then it began. No, there were a lot of forces at work to cause the revolution. First you have to come up with a POD to reduce those forces. And to do that you have to make...

Terrorists still have their blank check to infiltrate weak security systems and unleash an attack on the world. Terrorists would still be working throughout Iraq and Afghanistan to bring us down. Without 9/11, we risk a later terrorist attack that would have alerted us to the new global...

Well, yes, but that doesn't mean they were the most likely to stay within the Union. I think North Carolina would have suffered considerably had they stayed within the Union, yet Virginia and South Carolina held their borders. I wonder how fast they'd go down.

Revolution, huh? The Soviet Union joins the league? Well, it is probably still under Lenin, so it could happen. But isn't the USSR under fire from the British, the Americans, and the Japanese at this point? Why would they join?

Just curious, which state do you think would have been the most likely to stay within the Union instead of join the CSA. If you wish to, discuss the implications. Also, forgive me if I'm beating on the old ACW drum once more, but its the period I'm working on at school and on my timeline, so why...

Hey, Xen, awesome timeline, I hope you continue it further, wherever you go with it. So, Byrnes is the new president? I have no idea what he'll do. What's happening on the nuclear weapon front? Is development going along at the same pace?

This would be kind of hard to do unless the Russians attained a port in warm waters (the Mediterranean), so that they could do business with Africa. Slave trade by land would never get so far. Also, taking blacks into Siberia by way of the Indian Ocean and then Vladivostok will be a slow...

Great update Dominus! The Roman Dominate sounds so cool! I really like the whole universe that you've constructed. The Christianity thing sounds awesome, along with the Axumite ship reaching Brazil (very interesting). The use of military rockets is also very interesting.

Interesting explanation of Japan!

World War I seemed like an inevitable collision between imperialist/expansionist facets of human civilization adapting to the modern world and the rise of nationalism. Sort of the end of a chapter of European civilizations that just had to come. World War II seemed like an inevitable...

I reorganized the western states and was able to fit in two more somewhere around there. I split Texas and California as well. My idea of what happened: The Compromise of 1850 goes earlier, maybe even in 1849. Texans rebel against the Compromise, just a few rebellions and only a few...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toro_Submarino So, as things go, the Chileans are not informed by their spies of the weapon. Lets say that the Toro pulls off its maneuvers perfectly, it is a spectacular success. It deploys both torpedoes under the Blanco Encalada, then it cruises off. A few...

The South only needs to be appeased so much. You don't have to make them happy or even comfortable within the Union. Just toss them a tiny concession once in a while, and don't threaten slavery or state's rights. In that case, there will never be enough popular opinion to begin the Civil War...

All the South needs is political success. It doesn't matter whether they can win a war, only if they can keep the North at bay enough to politically win independence. In 1850, Texans were rebelling because many did not appreciate having their borders changed from their Republic days. Zachary...
