Maybe
@Arkhangelsk you can still have Santa Anna filibuster Utah and drive out a few Mormons (if it wasn't retained by Mexico in any negotiations with the U.S. that is)
One of my favorite parts of the original TL.
Yeah the status of the far north and Utah I'm still mulling over. When the USA and Mexico eventually sit down to determine the exact limits of their borders there's a good chance Utah doesn't end up with the US. That's not to say I Santa Anna won't be doing some sort of fuckery there or elsewhere. Really anything to keep him as far away from Mexico City as possible.
I read a little bit of the original TL a while back. Looking forward to see how this rework turns out.
OTL was an enormous Mexico-screw, but for some reason AH.com seems to be obsessed with making things even worse for the country. We need more TLs like this to balance things
Thank you!!
Yeah I remember when I first started writing Mk. It felt like there was nothing but Mexicscrews...it was kinda depressing. I'm glad there's been some really good ones to grace the forums over the years...and even gladder to be part of such a cool club.
As the reader of your older timeline I can say I’m glad to see you both this and you back and I cannot wait to see what the future holds for Mexico in this Tl
I´m really happy that I didn´t miss this one, as a mexican I love alternate history that is Mexico centric and your old TL was one of my favorites. Thank you so much and I hope you are doing better.
Yay thank so much everyone!! I was on hiatus so long part of me was afraid my TL was ancient history. It truly lifts my spirits hearing from all my old readers. S/o to all of you, as well as to the newbies who haven't read Mk. I but still are jumping on the bandwagon. Y'all are the best ❤
Oh and thanks Gadrian I have been doing better. Quarantine has been a hell of a roller coaster as y'all are all to aware of I'm sure, but if there's a silver lining to any of this it's been the time I've been able to finally dedicate to my artistic passions like writing this and focusing on my art.
Also, one of my favorite parts of the last TL was how we had some successful native powers here and there, such as the Merina Kingdom in Madagascar and the Sikh Empire.
That I'll definitely be keeping in Mk. II, they were some of my favorite additions. I still have plans for them both and for the most part I haven't altered too much outside the western hemisphere that might otherwise threaten them.
Good stuff! More Mexico timelines are always a good thing, OTL was a bit of a Mexiscrew at times.
I didn't read mark 1, but I'm looking forward to more installments nonetheless! I hope the derailment of America isn't too blatant, I like the idea of an allied and prosperous Mexico and America. But since the Americans seem unable or unwilling to assist in the revolution, much like our tl, I imagine they will be off on the wrong foot. An attempt of Manifest Destiny will surely further squander relations.
I generally don't take pleasure in screwing a place (even if it's America
) but it does seem like North America isn't near big enough for two super powers. Make no mistake, the US will still be a powerful force to be reckoned with, but I still gotta bring 'em down a notch to let Mexico catch up a little.
I would like to see some of Napoleon famous Marshalls and general who are out of favor in France offered a job leading and/or training Mexico armies after Napoleon falls from power
That's a very good and interesting point you raise. I feel like I had so many chances to play around with the settlement of the Napoleonic Wars but didn't due to ignorance, so I'll definitely look into possibly importing Napoleonic Marshals...oooh the butterflies!
