    Threadmarks: Part III: Victory

    Update time! Sorry for the wait. I've been ill with a serious cold that I've only just managed to shake off. Part III: Victory A number of Long Max 38 cm (15 inch) railway guns were rolled up to Calais and began lobbing shells at Dover, but the Germans wanted to hit London. In June 1917, the...

    Threadmarks: Part II: The Demise of the Habsburgs and the Fall of France

    The war continues. Part II: The Demise of the Habsburgs and the Fall of France Far from Europe, the Confederacy had waged its own war which was like a walk in the park compared to the large scale European battles. The Confederate States Navy carried out a series of amphibious landings that...

    Threadmarks: Chapter VIII: The Great War, 1915-1919. Part I: Opening Moves

    Update time! We finally get around to TTL's analogue of World War I. Given the length of this chapter, I've divided it into parts. The war has its casus belli in Europe, which is why part 1 will focus on the European theatre. More on the Confederacy's fortunes in war in part 2! Chapter VIII...

    Threadmarks: Chapter VII: Naval Races, the Boxer Rebellion, the Tangier Crisis and Crystallizing Alliance Systems. 1898-1915.

    Update time!!! Chapter VII: Naval Races, the Boxer Rebellion, the Tangier Crisis and Crystallizing Alliance Systems. 1898-1915. The future Nicholas had become first in line for the throne when his father Tsesarevich Alexander (Tsesarevich was the Russian equivalent to Crown Prince) had died of...

    Threadmarks: Chapter VI: Shifting Alliances and Imperialist Adventures, 1892-1898.

    No replies? I hope a fresh update can change that! Chapter VI: Shifting Alliances and Imperialist Adventures, 1892-1898. The Bismarckian system aimed at keeping the peace and maintaining the diplomatic, political and economic dominance of the German Empire collapsed with the dissolution of...

  6. If you could change One event post 1900..?

    I would have Franz Ferdinand catch a cold and reschedule his trip to Sarajevo, entirely avoiding assassination. That means no WW I. And the more time passes, the more unlikely war gets, at least with the particular alliance systems in place. Russia would eventually grow too strong for Germany to...

    Threadmarks: Chapter V: The End of Slavery and the Shadows of Berlin, 1881-1892.

    Update time! Chapter V: The End of Slavery and the Shadows of Berlin, 1881-1892. In the United States, Grant didn’t pursue a third term as he was diagnosed with throat cancer a few months before the elections and instead he endorsed his Vice President and former Ohio Governor Rutherford B...

    I did have them pay a lot for Cuba, didn't I? I changed the sum to something more realistic.

    Threadmarks: Chapter IV: Confederate Expansion, the Russo-Turkish War and the Congress of Berlin, 1877-1881.

    The Second Empire was pro-Confederate, but the Third Republic that came after it wouldn't have been IMHO. So, if France is pro-Union, then it makes sense for Germany to warm up to the Confederacy. Anyhow, I thought I'd post another update today for y'all, so here goes: Chapter IV...

  10. If Nuclear weapons are not developed when does WW3 occur?

    Would a lack of nuclear weapons disencourage Truman from proclaiming the Truman Doctrine? I doubt it. In the meantime, the equivalent to the Manhattan Project will happen with a post-1933 PoD. If Enrico Fermi somehow never carries out his experiment of bombarding uranium with neutrons, someone...

    Threadmarks: Chapter III: Confederate Elections, the Second Mexican Empire and the Franco-Prussian War, 1867-1877.

    The butterflies flap their wings in Mexico and Spain in this next update. Chapter III: Confederate Elections, the Second Mexican Empire and the Franco-Prussian War, 1867-1877. Initially organized political parties had deliberately not been formed during the civil war, but after 1862 two main...

  12. American civil war delayed until 1869, what are the consequences?

    If it doesn't, any attempt at secession will be dealt with relatively swiftly when compared to OTL's Civil War.

  13. American civil war delayed until 1869, what are the consequences?

    If the slavery issue is kicked further down the line by Democrats winning the 1860 and 1864 US Presidential Elections, a compromise might be reached. But this will only be temporary. For starters, the economic and demographic imbalance will only tilt further to the North in these eight years...

  14. French Victory in Seven Years’ War: No American Revolution?

    It's not exactly my area of expertise, but logic would seem to dictate that the French might not be so keen on supporting the American revolutionaries because that might give their own North American colonial subjects funny ideas. Now if there was a chance to absorb the British colonies they...

  15. Ukraine is never a member of the Soviet Union

    The Germans briefly created a Ukrainian vassal state. I suppose in time this could evolve into a truly independent Ukraine in the long term in a CP victory scenario. In a CP defeat, a longer Russian Civil War and/or a far more successful Poland in the Polish-Soviet War could result in Ukraine...

  16. 'Blood-Stained South' - A Confederate Victory Timeline

    It will be interesting to see how this differs from my own ongoing TL on the same subject.

    Threadmarks: Chapter II: Secession Formalized, 1862-1867.

    Update time. Chapter II: Secession Formalized, 1862-1867. One country after another extended diplomatic recognition to the Confederate States of America. Great Britain was at the helm of the British Empire and was arguably the most powerful country in the world at the time, so it made sense...

  18. France doesn't declare war on Austria in 1792, does Europe still go to war?

    I admittedly only have basic knowledge about this part of history. Would Austria leave revolutionary France alone if Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette don't get amputated from the neck down?

    Threadmarks: Chapter I: The War of Southern Secession, 1861-1862.

    With other projects on hiatus, I was inspired to write my own Southern victory TL detailing a Confederate victory in the American Civil War. I chose the same PoD as Turtledove, the infamous Order 191, but things diverge from there. To make certain I wouldn't inadvertently rip off Turtledove's...

    Could you elaborate?
