Here is a better revised map of the aftermath situation (maybe in the 1990s or 2000s).
ALERT: Contains spoilers.

Man I can't believe I missed this TL. I just assumed it was discontinued but I hadn't realized it was moved to before 1900 (wtf!!)

Great TL. Was really surprized by the whole INca Empire stuff but I could see it happening.
 
Here is the revised (though still pretty crappy) map as of late Summer, 1945.
I think I am going to cancel the earlier version as it does not actually reflect any actual stage of the TL in the light of the new updates. I included the area of Neiva, in Colombia, in the Incan-controlled territory, even if it is not mentioned in the posts, as I chose to consider extant division everywhere it makes sense if not otherwise indicated: the line indicated actually divides at least two, possibly three departments of Colombia into two; an Incan annexation in Argentina on the basis of provincial borders would not have made any sense IMHO; likewise, it is implied that Chile's Region Metropolitana, or whatever it was called at the time, is split between Incan countryside and Argentine-occupied Santiago. Otherwise, I stuck to extant state and primary division borders. However, I can change any of that if DValdron says otherwise.
For instance, the area immedately south of where I put the border in Chile has a significant Mapuche population like the area on the other side, but it used to be a part of a larger region that, overall, is very much dominated by white settlers. Moreover, as said in a previous post, I actually added Auracania region to the Empire on my own initiative, without any mention of the Mapuche position in the war through TL (or did I miss it?). The southern border in Chile should be therefore considered as an educated guess.

The Incans were operating from the highlands and coasts. It is unlikely they'd have taken significant parts of Colombia's eastern provinces, unless those could only be accessed from the Colombian southeast. Which is to say, Colombia can probably keep almost all of its Amazon bits.

As for the Mapuche, DValdron specifically mentioned one of the biggest Argentine gains was that it put distance between the Incans and the Mapuche. So splitting the Mapuche doesn't really fit. The border should probably be north of there.

Also, didn't he say the Argentines had the rail line into Santiago as well? To me that implied a contiguous territorial bridge to the city.

Colombian Amazon: I followed the line specifically mentioned as the northern Incan boundary, though I doubt they'd actually sent troops in the Amazon sector at any time in the war. There is not much that Colombia can do to keep the area either.
I understood that Santiago is geographically isolated, as DValdron mentioned it as being like "West Berlin" but that the Argentines keep control of the rail line. It would be too a tiny stretch to be shown on the map.
The Mapuche pose a problem. Since DValdron mentioned the Incans being at Concepcion, I realized while making the map that there would be nothing the Argentines can do to "put a distance" between the Mapuche and them, it's just a small push forward with a part of the locals ready to welcome the Incans as liberators. In order to put a distance, the Incans should have run out of steam way north of there. I also figured that the Argentines would not really want to take a area full of hostile people bordering a hostile power likely to befriend those very guys. It seemed the most reasonable result to me, but I admit it is not canon and I can change it if DValdron says so. And I can change the rest as well. The limit of the Argentine territory gained by the Incans is speculation as well.
 
Wow, the southern half of Colombia being taken by the Incas. How are cities like Cali, Bogotá and Medellín going after whatever happened there? :eek::eek:

Oddly enough, overrun Colombia managed to avoid most of the bloody civil war that infested OTL Colombia, and the rump Colombia of this timeline.
 
What do the colors of Guatemala, Cuba and the Dominican Republic mean?
Guatemala is the Mayan color following the (perhaps short-lived) revolution. Cuba and the DR get the Soviet satellite colors, though perhaps that is a bit unjustified since the Aztecs probably mitigate Soviet influence significantly.

Aztecs :confused::confused::confused::confused:

Just finished the first page. I don't usually read anything but agricultural timelines, and especially not post-1900 ones, except the occasional ISOT, but this has grabbed my attention.

A one liner necro on a FOUR YEAR dead thread?

Don't do that!
