Collaborative TL: One-Hundred Years: A World Changes

I am going to limit events to 1915-1918 for the present, though if you feel something before that really deserves a look, i'll accept it.

I have finished up the Irish crisis and the Austrian one, but I need some events for the war with Mexico.

Please, from now on, write events as: MONTH DATE, YEAR.

A few more events for late 1915 would be good.

So the immediate crisis in Austria has died down. Fair enough, the idea that WWI must start over Austrian succession if Sarajevo doesn't do it is quite the cliche by this point.

Got to hit the books to come up with more 1915 stuff, though.
 

QuoProQuid

It's an issue of semantics, but wouldn't Austria-Hungary be known as Austria-Hungary-Bosnia now?

If Russia is being internationally shamed, I imagine that's going to cause some issues with the Tsar's popularity, both in the general public and his own government. It only complicates matters further if everyone thinks Russia is warmongering. It might force France to reconsider its relationship.

August 17, 1916: The first of later-to-be-famous "no indios permitidos" signs appears in Guyaquil and will soon spread to other Ecuadorian cities as a wave of conservative racism sweeps across the nation in response to the now-massive Indian migrant population in the country.

November 10, 1916: The incumbent Radical Liberal Party, championing equality and free trade, is defeated by a wide margin in the Ecuadorian parliamentary elections by the Conservatives, riding the reactionary wave. Legal racial inequality is soon to follow.


...I wanted to talk about Ecuador, okay?

If I knew this was here I would have participated cause I have been thinking of making one of these after the one in Future History I was in died. All dependens if Baconheimer wants to continue it or not, cause if not, we could always jump start with a new one?

Hope no-one minds if I make a few contributions to this timeline.

-Edit-

Ah crud, missed the part about the new French Pope. I'll italic the September 2nd entry and the rest of you can decide which new Pope to go with.

Also, I just noticed the 1916 Olympics are referred to as the 'Summer Olympics' - I feel I should point out that the Winter Olympics didn't actually exist until the 1924 Games.
