AHC: Create a Plausible TL for this Parallelistic Alternate Version of WW1

Not!Central Powers:
  • TTL: Anglo-Scottish Empire = OTL: Austro-Hungarian Empire
  • TTL: Scandinavian Empire = OTL: German Empire
  • TTL: Iberian Empire = OTL: Ottoman Empire
  • TTL: Normandy = OTL: Bulgaria
Not!Entente Powers:
  • TTL: Germany = OTL: France
  • TTL: United Kingdom (of Switzerland, France, and Italy) = OTL: United Kingdom (of England, Scotland, and Ireland) (yes, the order of these is significant)
  • TTL: Arabic Empire = OTL: Russian Empire
  • TTL: Russian Republic = OTL: United States of America
  • TTL: Finland = OTL: Italy
  • TTL: Brittany = OTL: Serbia
  • TTL: Netherlands = OTL: Belgium
This is going to be 191-parallelism, as in after the timeline diverges, it becomes radically different before slowly becoming parallelistic and similar.
 
It depends on the exact borders of these countries, but I don't really see a way to make this work. I'm struggling to come up with a reason why Scandinavia would invade Germany through the Netherlands, and both Scandinavia and Finland are much smaller than the countries whose parts they are to play (10 million vs 64 million for Scandinavia, 2.9 million vs 36 million for Finland). The geography in general is just not really conducive to this: you can't really have a WWI parallel in which the *UK and the *Ottoman Empire share a land border and *Russia and *Germany don't.

Yeah, good point. Conflict would be slightly different. Invading through the Netherlands makes sense when you realize Denmark is also part of Scandinavia, and thus, that border's going to be heavily fortified.

I don't expect Everything to play out the same. I mean, in Timeline-191, it was weird that *Germany and *the United States shared a border, among other crazy things. Same thing happened with Reverse Sealion.

Parallelism is weird.
