Alright, I'm still working on my next guest chapter, but I recently had the idea to write these little side vignettes about the bios of a number of different/random historical figures in this timeline. And yes, as TheBerlinguer said its simply amazing how so many other AH'ers can contribute so awesomely to Napo's timelines/worlds, especially this one and American King II, both of which I've contributed allot to.
So anyways, Enjoy .
Mao Zedong (December 26, 1893-January 28, 1927) grew up in poverty in the Chinese Province of Hunan. He was only a child when the Missionary War (1903-1905) occurred, his home province being annexed into Dutch China. He traveled to and got an education in Amsterdam and the Hauge beginning in 1912, returning home in 1920. By this point Mao had became an ardent Monarchist and supporter of an independent, Chinese Monarchy based on Western, Bonapartist ideals. He felt the best way to bring this state about was to collaborate with the Dutch colonizers, viewing Chinese rebel groups such as Qing loyalists, Communists and Anarchists as "a grave danger to China's future". Mao joined a pro-Dutch Chinese Militia from Honk Hong in 1921, and became the Militia's leader within two years time. In 1924, Mao founded the "Chinese Home Rule Party" in Honk Hong, a party advocating his ideals and for an autonomous Southern China with relations to the mother country of Holland like that of the Kingdom of South Africa, or of Quebec towards the Tripartite Empire. After giving a speech in Fuzhou in 1927, Mao was assassinated by an unknown member of the Chinese Anarchist Alliance, cutting a promising political career short. The party itself declined in popularity in the coming years, its leadership continuing to fracture into smaller factions.
Emma Goldman (June 27, 1869-December 30, 1892) never immigrated to America, and remained in Lithuania, living with her Orthodox Jewish family. Looking for more excitement in her life, she became a nurse in the Russian Army in 1892 during the Fourth Russo-Persain War. She and most of her regiment was killed in the surprise ambush by the Persian Army which began the Battle of Sari (December 30, 1892-January 6, 1893).
Robert Gould Shaw (October 10, 1837-November 8, 1909) was born in Boston, Republican Union, his family moving to Shicagwa when he young. He was later educated in Prussia and Finland before going to and later graduating from Harvard in the Class of 1859. Soon after graduating Harvard, Shaw joined the 4th Illionia Militia, and remained in the unit well into the 1860's. In 1866, Shaw meet with the up and coming George Armstrong Custer, who along with his two brothers founded the private militia of "Custer's Company". Shaw retired from his militia to join the Company, and in the coming years evolved into a die hard Unionite patriot, and also become a trusted colleague and friend of Custer, helping the Company in its many ventures. After over two decades in Custer's Company, in 1889, Shaw began campaigning with Custer for the Manifest Destiny Party, joining the party itself a year later. Shaw proudly partook in the March on Philadelphia on New Years Day of 1891, and would become one of the prime architects along with Custer and his brothers of the new Office of Racial and Religious Affairs. Custer was the ORRA's first Secretary, but his work as First Chief Consul was always his main priority. As a result in 1892, Custer made his brother Thomas Custer, previously the ORRA's first under-Secretary, the second Secretary of the ORRA, with Shaw taking the place of Under-Secretary. After Thomas Custer's death of tuberculosis in 1900, Shaw became Secretary of the ORRA, with Boston Custer as Under-Secretary. It was during Shaw's term that the ORRA expanding its infamous operations in the Union's new territories in Central America, the Pacific, Louisiana and Korea. Shaw played a central part in the ORRA's activities during these conquests, especially during the Missionary War. Shaw continued his term as Secretary of the ORRA until his death at the age of 72 on November 8, 1909. He was buried in Patriot's Rest in Philadelphia, his funeral broadcast live across Talkie-Boxes all over the nation. Boston Custer succeeded him as Secretary, a position he would hold until his death in 1914.
José Doroteo Arango Arámbula, more popularity known as "Francisco Villa" (June 5, 1878-December 7, 1910) became a famous anti-Union partisan in the Mexican region of Durango, begging around 1900, when the Mexican Insurgency against the Republican Union's occupation began to grow in popularity. By the 1905, Villa's fame grew and he became a hero amongst both the Mexican peasantry and bourgeois alike for his brave defiance of Union's brutal and racist occupation. He grew to have a band of many die hard followers, all whom he organized into the so-called "Villista Army". The Villista Army insurgency continued during the rest of the decade and during the Second-Mexican American War, refusing to hand down their weapons after the Fall of Guadalajara. The Villista Army eventually confronted the Union Army and ORRA outside of Torreon on December 3, 1910, with the majority of the resistance army being massacred with impunity, the few survivors fleeing for their lives. Villa himself was captured by the Union Army. He was later arrested, tortured and publicly executed in the City of Durango four days after his last battle. Yet his legacy lived on, and he became on of the most popular Mexican folk heroes, both in Mexico itself and with the Mexican exile communities in Gran Columbia, Peru, Brazil, California, Europe and the Columbian Nations. A film about his life, named simply "Villa" was directed and released by Mexican-born Georgian director Javier Luis Cardenaz in 1948, the film itself a massive hit and instant classic of Georgian Cinema. Francisco Villa also became a popular character in a number of different Comic Books published in Georgia, Virginia, Cuba and Jamaica, the most famous being the Georgian Comic Book series, "The Adventures of Francisco Villa", written and drawn by Georgian Comic Book artist Irving Galbraith from 1939 to 1956.
