DBWI a Reversed WW1 victory

everyone knows that WW1 defined European history. many people never saw war the same way after the Great War and all the bloodshed from the German Front, the Russian Front, and especially the Austrian Front.

The war changed the face of the world. Russia split into Three, the North American union was Formed, Germany became communist, Italy fell into a civil war between Nationalists led by Mussolini and the Communists supported by the Germans, and Japan became a Sleeping Giant after the formation of the East Asian Union. but, of course, this war has long been overshadowed by the War on Fascism (ooc: WW2) against Mosley's Anti-Semitic Second British Empire and its allies.

All of these events have made people forget about the War that, in many ways, set the stage for these events like the German-Japanese Cold war. so i started this thread as a way to remember the Great War and the people who died in the trenches that are now common in modern day Austria Hungary and it's neighbors. Perhaps some of you had a relative who fought in the trenches?
 
People talk about manifest destiny, but I've always thought that Mexico's entry into the war on Germany's behalf is what really set the stage for Canada joining the Union rather than it being some inevitable thing that they would see the light and embrace the stars and stripes. The cooperation between the US and Canadian troops marching south really brought the two together and greased the wheels of Canada's annexation once they turned their back on London's fascist policies. The fact that half the appointed military governors of occupied Mexico were of Canadian ancestry was certainly as shrewd move that helped too.

Besides which, there's no way an independent Canada would have been viable without either the support of the US or Britain, there were just too few Canadians compared to the rest of the US. Without England to back them population pressure alone would have swamped any Canadian identity within a few decades. Especially when you consider that once Quebec seceded and very nearly went socialist, Canada was seriously isolated. Honestly, without Britain's loss in the war and their drift into fascism it's entirely likely that Canada would have stayed tied to the Empire indefinitely.
