AH Challenge: CSA Today

Hmm. In all of these the CSA get completely curbstomped by the USA in the Great War.

It's really hard for them not to - it's like the OTL Eastern Front, except 'Germany' is three times the size of 'Russia' and the border is much longer. And that's the best case for the CSA - the worst looks a lot like France in 1940. The Union is simply too strong.

Here's an entertaining scenario - a milder curbstomping some time in the 1890s, and a successful *Zimmerman Telegram, surprising a complacent USA. That might give you some dramatic back and forth, although there's probably an even bigger curbstomping at the end of it.

As far as Virginia getting out - I think it's either an inevitable casualty of the Great War, or they leave on their own when the CSA economy starts to choke on its own feces. I could see more states of the Upper South trying to leave with Virginia.
