An American Oddity

WORLD WAR 1
PART 3 ~ THE FINALE​

World War 1 was the largest conflict of the 19th Century. Lasting over the course of four years, its effects would profoundly affect the world. However, it was not won until the very end.

American Theater
After the Americans won battles in New Orleans, Texas, Cuba, and Florida, the next major push was into the heartland of Mexico. Amphibious invasions of Veracruz and the Yucatan took place, with a Mexican surrender in March 1834. Cuba and Jamaica where captured in April of 1833, followed by Hispaniola and Puerto Rico that August. With the Caribbean devastated and Mexico's reputation trashed, League and Entente members of the Allies built up friction in the New World. Buenos Aires had fallen in January 1833, with Patagonia captured by that summer. Peru was captured soon after. The war in the Americas was wrapping up.

European Theater
Germany started the first invasion that march of mainland Denmark, then attacking various islands. France invaded Italy, and everything then collapsed.

The Treaty of Oslo
"The Treaty of Oslo, officially ending all hostilities in Europe and the Americas, signed April 24, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and thirty four.

CHAPTER IX ~ ANTEBELLUM
THE POST-WAR WORLD​

Scandinavia and the Stockholm Pact are gone. Italy and the Balkans are in ruins. The only Stockholm Pact nation to survive unscathed was the newly-rechristened United Arab Caliphate, or Arabia. In the Americas, two nations stood as survivors; Brazil and the United States. Now, in 1834, elections had come and gone in America, the first election to occur mid-way through a war. Andrew Jackson, the former general, was elected Executive Chair. Henry Clay was unpopular after Mexico's betrayal and Clay's lack of preparation for it. Daniel Webster, who had supported large military funding, was elected Constitutional Chair. At war with Catholics, the Anglo-Dixie Party elected Robert Y. Hyde Chair of State, with John C. Calhoun falling down to Chair of the Interior, after the Chair of State received fire for not avoiding the war, winning only his home state of South Carolina. Horace Mann, the great supporter of education, also supported military education, rose up to Chair of the Treasury. Henry Clay was elected to Chair of the Navy, and would not run in 1836, returning to Congress representing Kentucky. He would later regain power, being elected Speaker of the House in 1842, before his retirement in 1846. As for the Chair of the Army, Winfield Scott was elected on a united ticket by those who supported the war, former Revolutionaries, Federalists, and Reformers. This one-term ticket, as it would come to be called for similar people, would dissolve after the war, with Winfield Scott becoming the Revolutionary Party.

In the war, a new technology was used in Cuba. The Havana Rail Company had a line connecting various wealthy farms, was used by General Washington, allowing new supplies to reach the front lines. It spread to the Continent, with the first line being Worcester-Hartford Rail Company. Soon, the Allentown-Philadelphia Rail Company and the Alexandria-Baltimore Rail Company followed. In the south, West Florida commissioned the formation of the United Southern Rail Company, building a line between the two largest cities and the capitol in the state, helping to alleviate the sectional differences between the Catholic East and Anglican West. In July of 1835, the ground was broken in Pensacola and Mobile. August 1835 saw ground broken in Tallahassee. Governments in Texas, Louisiana, and North Mexico began working with local leaders to build a railroad from Monterrey to New Orleans, connecting with San Antonio and Galveston. This would connect Mexican and Texan cities to New Orleans, the second-largest port in the nation, and would pass New York in port size in 1850, in no small part to an expanded market. Michigan United Rail was the first in the Great Lakes, connecting Green Bay, the capitol, with the growing city of Chicago on the southern border of the state. Huron and Erie built a line connecting Detroit to Cincinnati. Ohio River United Rail built a railroad from Kansas City to St. Louis, with a bridge going over the river, connecting it to Springfield and Indianapolis, eventually getting a contract with Chicago. Leaders from O.R.U.R., M.U.R., and Huron-Erie United Rail in Chicago, where the Great Lakes United Railroad Company. Soon, various railroads in New England and New York united with Worcester-Hartford railroad to form New England Rail. New England Rail united with Allentown-Philadelphia and Alexandria-Baltimore the form the Northeastern Railroad Company. Havana Rail dominated Cuba, and United Southern Railroad began building into Nashville, Chattanooga, Memphis, Knoxville, Raleigh, Charleston, and Colombia, putting it all together in the southern rail center Atlanta, named capitol in 1875.

In Europe, a new order set in. Great Britain had a puppet government in Norway, and France set a puppet government in Sweden. Germany set a puppet in Denmark. Great Britain, France, Germany, Spain, and Portugal where the undecided leaders in European politics. Leaders from the West met in Avignon and formed independent republics in Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia, with Arabia annexing Egypt and Libya. In January 1836, the League and the Entente where dissolved. The European League was founded in Brest, with Great Britain, France, Hungary, and Russia and Portugal joining. Germany and Spain did not want to join Great Britain. Instead, in August 1836, when the Panama Congress voted to create the American Union, with Brazil, Colombia, Central America and the United States becoming member states. When China, Japan, Germany, and Spain showed interest in joining, the AU re-branded as the Association of Rio, allowing the four nations in. In 1844, former Stockholm Pact nations joined the various pacts.

Parts of Europe collapsed into anarchy. The Republic of Sami was the first to go. Colombia lost control of Ecuador and Venezuela. In the Andes, a new nation formed, calling themselves the New Inca Empire. The Caribbean lost control of the Bahamas, Jamaica, and Hispaniola. Revolts around colonies grew. Back in America, Protestants and Catholics had been building up divisions since the formation of the United States, increased by having a Catholic chief justice. America was polarized. The Mid South and the Mid-Atlantic states where Protestant, and New England, Canada and the Gulf States where Catholics. The Great Lakes and Great Plains states, as well as the Rocky Mountains states, where melting pots. The country was falling apart. The world was falling apart.

Okay, I've realized I've more or less lost interest in this TL, and the lack of comments are telling me that I am not alone in this. I'm going to end this TL soon, but here is what I had planned out:

• First American Civil War (1841-1845): Catholic (and other minority faiths, most significantly Mormons) had building tension in the South as well as several Great Lakes states. Illinois, Quebec, New England, the mid-Atlantic seaboard, and other Canadian states and the Gulf fight off the South and most of the Great Lakes states over Joseph Smith being elected to Chair of the Navy. Smith and other leaders of the Mormon faith are killed by a mob, Catholics go up in arms about it, and war breaks out. The side of the Catholics win out.
• Second American Civil War (1859-1864): Slavery and election tension, much like OTL
• Gilded Age: American countries plus Germany and Spain build alliances, France and America part ways.
• World War (1): Not planned out.

If someone else would like to pick up on this TL your welcome to, but I am not going to be involved in this TL anymore.
