Hmm, Canada moved quicker than I thought they would. Least that averts the pains of conscription riots, though I don't know if we've heard the last of Quebec, not with Caouette running SoCred this early.

Oh, Mexico, will ye ever learn...

We'll see if it was worth it for the Americans as they try to de-Sorelianize Mexico.

Quebec has been the source of pains for Canada since the Red Summer, basically. If it's not the PLAQ being a pain in the arse, it's Quebec regionalism and nationalist sentiments causing rumbling. We certainly have not heard the last of them.

@Asami - good to see this back and what a chapter :D

Wow, France went down hard...

France's collapse is the clear conclusion of confused military leadership, a lack of innovation, and what I envision a Nazi Germany that purged the Wehrmacht leadership early on ending up like. Maybe if Tukhachevsky had ten more years or something... but no.

I'm going to need to re-read this.

I hope that's a good thing :p

tbh you're going to find inconsistencies. The last geopolitics update to this TL was... a loooong time ago, nearly two years. I tried my best to keep in the margins but ooooof.
 
Well that goes to show that Sorelianism failed as an ideology. If your Ideology shuns Innovation, Mechanization and Automation which by extension you reject Armoured Vehicles/Tanks and Mechanized Warfare well you get defeat. Which being said the LPU's downfall had everything to due with the Sorelian Ideology which caused poor planning and horrible military.

Wonder how Frenchman in the future would think of Sorelianism? Especially French Socialists who aren't Sorelianism?

What countries in South America will got involved in the war? Did Peron got into trouble?

If I remember, it's Colombia, Venezuela and Chile are the main "Southern Shield" states, while the militant axis is Argentina, Bolivia and Brazil; everyone else is occupied or a puppet regime of someone else.
 
Great you're back!

  1. I see the Spanish Combine, unlike its French and Portuguese peers, survived the war. Is it still Sorelian?
  2. How will the British Commonwealth survives the fact one of its major members just named their own sovereign and another just became a Republic?
  3. I know it will depends how much Russia is beaten but will the fractured nature of the Russian far-left (if the Prince doesn't manakes to unite them) make a Communist revolution harder?
  4. Finally, will Manchukuo be less hard against Han and Mongols?

5. And India, what's going on between the Commonwealth and Princely forces?

It is, in fact, anarchist.

There was never a Commonwealth to start with... at least, not like OTL. As for the fate of the British Empire's dominions, we shall see.

We will see.

Yes.

I think you mean House of Saxe-Coburg and Alexandrina Victoria.

Potato, potatoe. But she's still "Alexandrina". Victoria is her second name, and one she drops when she accepts the Crown of Canada. She is simply Queen Alexandrina.

5. And India, what's going on between the Commonwealth and Princely forces?

You will find out in due time.
 
Australia and New Zealand are going to desert fast.

Keep in mind their is a thing called the Maori king movement in NZ, might gain some traction under the right circumstances.

It is wholly relative to how King Edward VIII handles the situation and the political independence of those colonies.

It seems to have little to no bearing on the internal politics of NZ, but I will keep that in mind.

Completely and utterly so. But at this point in time NZ is attached to the idea of the benevolent monarch like the Australians before ww2 (and probably can't agree on an alternate system) but also faces the problem of a tyrannical monarch in England. If NZ were to leave the british sphere then a good way to solve internal problems with the marginalised Maori (who now actually represent a potential threat) might be to recognise a Maori representative (be it a king or an elected one) as co-equal with the NZ prime minister.

Thats just speculation tho.

Given how racial issues were viewed then, I don't think being ruled by a Maori would be attracting to the electorate; they might try to find another Royal Prince or Princess from the British Royal Family to rule them.

The Maori king was and is not recognised by all of the tribes, so this is highly unlikely, and would probably be seen as undermining the role of parliament.

I also find it hard to believe that Westminster wouldn't force Edward to abdicate for something like this - no monarch has been able to force a parliament to dissolve against its will in several centuries.
