Not the best topic, but it'll do. Hello everyone.
I need help in figuring out how the Great War may go in this alternate scenario. This scenario is actually the backdrop for a future story of mine.
Basically, thigns go different for the US a bit to where the Civil War is the USA and Mexico vs CSA and Texas. Yes, Texas. Now, the Civil War lasts shorter and due to prior events (the Mexican-American War does not happen), Mexico gets Texas back and strengthens relations with US while selling some land to them.
What does this have to do with anything?
Well, the French Empire's attempts to meddle with Mexico go worse here to where the emperor pretty much leaves and the republic is re-established. But they realize they need a strong ally. Who?
North German Confederacy. Yes, this butterflies away the Franco-Prussian War.
The whole point is I'm trying to decide how a Great War would go with this new Franco-German alliance? Who would team with whom and so on? This is admittingly secondary information to the story, but it may come into play later.
