Don't you mean between Russia and Scandinavia over Novgorod area?
The Republics Unite
It was evident that the two nations of Siam and Burma were still growing closer and closer, and it had finally reached at a point where union was possible. President Pralop Ngo of Siam sent an official request for union in 1878. He desired to no longer be president, as he was quite old for his time and wished for retirement. He wanted a huge accomplishment for his presidency to be remembered, and sent a telegram. It was reviewed by the parliament of Burma, and was passed at 87% For Union, and 13% No Union. Thus, the two republics shutdown their borders, and a fully peaceful union had occurred, similar to in North America.
The meeting in the Burmese Parliament.
Sorry, a very short post. I'm thinking about doing a ton of rather short posts today.

I was going to post Korea backing South Nihon on establishing a State of Japan with the emperor reigning as a constitutional monarch. But I'll post tomorrow.
Balkan Spring
The growing instability under king Sebastien II in Slavica was beginning to take a turn even more for the worse. People were now restless, because of the fact that their king was French, and although they bore the name Slavica, French was spoken in many of their courts. Sebastien was also beginning to become very, very unpopular, due to his extremely isolationist trade policies, and the horrible taxing policy he commanded. His nation was fracturing, and he knew it. His first major rebellion would occur, and it would lead to the ultimate downfall of his kingdom. In Serbia, Orthodox rebels seeking religious freedom stormed the capital building in the city of Belgrade. They fought off the rebellion initially, but they were ultimately overpowered. The government quickly escaped and temporarily moved the capital to Sarajevo. This would also turn out to be disasterous, as the area was also quite rebellious. Back in Serbia, the rebels had gotten themselves a leader, who was an excellent general, but very tyrannical, by heart. His name was Joseph Obrenovic. He would go down in history for his excellent fighting skills. He proclaimed the Republic of Serbia on the steps of the former capital city. Slavica flew into a panic as they were being defeated at nearly every battle. They newly proclaimed Republic of Serbia was actually a dictatorship, and Joseph was the new dictator. He aided rebels in Montenegro, in exchange for a peaceful union of nations. They rebels in Montenegro finally rebelled, and they ended up winning their "independence". What ensued was a coup by Joseph, completely backstabbing them and absorbing them into Serbia proper. He began attacking northward, but soon realized any more land would be very overextended.
Soon after all of this, Sarajevo erupted into chaos with two factions of Bosnian rebels, Christian ones and Muslim ones. They both initially were helpful to each other, taking Sebastien hostage and eventually killing him, but they soon turned on eachother. The Orthodox ones became mesmerized by Mihael Topic, who was a Kleinist, and wished for freedom of religion. The Muslims denounced the Kleinists, saying they would never "Commit to such a horrible system" and that they shall never "convert". The Muslims founded their own theocratic Bosnian state, and the borders of the two nations were absolutely horrible. Many border battles would occur, and people knew it would be very, very hard to reunite Bosnia again. After the king died, the rest of the kingdom erupted into chaos. Croatia immediately attempted stabilizing, founding it's own kingdom under a cousin of Sebastien, Francois I. The Croatians weren't necessarily fond of Sebastien, but Francois seemed like the easiest choice. Slavica was once again fractured.
To the east, many people in Dacia and Byzantium were inspired to unite and operate their own war of independence. The Bulgarians were a people who had a long history, and thought they should return their nation to it's rightful position. A rebellion was successful in Sofia, and several rebel groups attacked all over Bulgarian homelands. Dacia and Byzantium flew into a panic, and had to accept very embarrassing peace terms, giving the Bulgarians independence under a Kleinist government. The country quickly aligned itself with the Kleinist Bosnians.

New Paris
Down in Farjinia, New Paris was a beautiful place. Quickly rising in population, they were now the 4th largest city in the world. The industrial paradise was now witnessing something that would finally bolster it's population to the number two spot, with Rio De Janiero at number one. Skyscrapers. The shiny new buildings towered above all around them, and citizens were both in awe, and in fear, afraid the buildings would collapse under it's weight. There were clearly signs that a new era was occuring, and massive influxes of immigrants came to cities all over the new world. One of the largest of these in New Paris were the English, who settled in the less developed northwest area. This would soon become a hotspot for gangs, and the run down area constantly had riots, with a few Kleinists even. In the economic sector, skyscrapers rose highest, and the tallest of these was the Rousseau Building, which housed the Rousseau Company, a large world trade organization. To the northeast, the New Paris Stadium was recently completed, housing the New Paris Bâton Azure. Their rival team was in New Plymouth, ironically their best ally, the New Plymouth Uisce, literally "The source of life" in Celtic Irish.

The Armored Car
As the alliances of the world further prepared for war in the event of such a thing happening, many people invented different machines, tools, and vehicles to improve their nations ability to fight. Among these things was the armored car, created by Léon Gaumont. It featured a continuous track on the bottom, so as to allow it to converse rough terrain easily. In total, it's length was about 4 meters in length, and about 1.5 meters in width. It had thick plating around the sides, and small windows to be able to see outside. It's weaponry included two machine guns on either side of the tank, and was to be operated by one person. The person driving in the front would have a large cannon on the roof they could control. The car was powered by a gas engine in the back which could also be paired with pedaling in case the car needed to be propelled. The design was completed in 1903.
It was admitted into the French military for use, and soon became popular for their military. Other nations began also creating similar versions for their own use. It's first use was in the Moroccan Rebellion of 1907, where it was very effective in moving quickly across large expanses of terrain.

Good luck. I'll try to help,.but I overslept the.start of the thread last year, so I will have to do some reading up first to get an idea of what the different nations are up to. My proficiency will be most likely technical: as we are roughly in steampunk / dieselpunk area, I could do some articles on submarines, airships or typewriters. 'Just have to figure out in what city they would be most.likely to appear.in.

I had an idea for the Great War. Scandinavia, France, Russia, Italy and Persia V.S China, Germany, Britain and Egypt.
I had the idea that with no major disasters for China like the opium wars, Taiping rebellion and having modernized rapidly and make vast territorial gains that they would be the international superpower. They could then invade Russia.
Egypt could attack Italy and try to gain control of the Mediterranean.
Germany could invade France and attempt to gain ancestral German land, land that the Kaisar wants. This would entail some version of the Schliffen plan, possibly with the invention of Armored cars the plan would be sucessful. After that is the drawn out fighting with Scandinavia.
What do you guys think?

I like the idea, but first we are going to need a split in the World Alliance. Currently all those nations are part of the WA, and some sort of dissagreement or something will be needed.
Nice to see some more activity on the timeline

Also Im wondering if I could have a list of all the countries in the world and some descriptions, I can't remember everything from just looking at the map. I can't even tell who's colonies are which or even if certain countries are actually colonies.I like the idea, but first we are going to need a split in the World Alliance.

The World alliance decides to put down Kleinism as a lethal and bloody ideology the leads to death and decay. The alliance joins together and invades Bulgaria and Central Africa but have disagreements on dividing up the land.
Germany wants some to make up for their lack of colonies while France wants some. The USA wants their share, while multiple other countries want the Congo or pieces of it as well.
