¡Por la Patria, Viva México Fuerte! A Mexican TL

I reckon that prior to the discovery of gold in the Yukon, it wouldn't be that hard for Britain to concede the entire Yukon basin and then some to Russia in exchange for some border adjustment and/or concession in Central Asia.
Yes that makes sense except for the fact that according to the map Russia is doing very well in Asia and Britain is held back by the Sikhs.

That and UK and Russian didnt have good relations here because of the Great Game and Russia partially sold Alaska to the US to spite the UK and because they were on good terms with them.
 
Soooo, when are we gonna see a new update? I've been lurking about since last year and just now got an account to comment on this awesome TL.
Btw, @Arkhangelsk, do you plan on the Wright brothers inventing flight or will it be a Mexican invention this time around. Also, any chance we get to see Angel Lascurain and his awesome airplane designs?

I got caught up finally! Can't wait to see what happens next. I'm hoping the railways get linked up soon nationwide across Mexico, but question:

Will the Panics of 1873 and 1893 still happen?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panic_of_1873

The 1873 one especially could be a real kick in the pants, since economic doctrine at the time tended to weigh against massive public works projects to keep people employed. In those days, what often happened is public works would be used only in the breach, when politicians would get worried enough that jobless folks might just have a few pitchforks at hand.

Maybe someone in Mexico stumbles across an ad hoc form of Keynesian economics when they decide that instead of starting a war somewhere to distract from economic problems, they decide finishing off all the incomplete infrastructure projects while wages will be low is a better idea? Only the multiplier effect kicks in and before you know it, everybody's happy again. :p
 
Thank you so much for all the kind words and expressed interest in my timeline guys, it truly means a lot! I want to apologize for not being very active at all for the last year or so since my last update. To put things in very blunt terms, the year or so between the summer of 2017 and summer 2018 were catastrophic for myself and my family. Within a matter of months my parents separated and we lost our home. I managed to find a place to live with some of my close friends but the trauma my family endured left me in a depressed state for much of the last year. That coupled with the struggle to look for a better job in order to keep up with bills has kept me from being able to dedicate much of any time to this project. Things are by no means better in the sense that I'm still struggling to make ends meet, but I will say that mentally, I'm in a much better place than I was six months ago or even a year ago. I want to assure you guys that I have no intention to abandon this timeline, and despite my constant setback I intend to continue this journey in Mexican alternate history. I just hope you guys don't mind waiting a bit longer while I try to get my writing mojo back. For those of you who have put up with my constant delays and have still eagerly awaited every update I do, I want to express my undying gratitude and love. It truly means a lot to me that you guys enjoy my work. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!!!

Well, we all have our upsides and downsides. It's good to see though that you're A-OK.

So sorry for all your troubles. I'm delighted you're in a better place, but sorry you and your family had to go through that.

Take your time - you are more important than your TL :)
