Alright, so if you can, avert or delay the collapse of the Confederate States of America in the early 20th century for as long as you possibly can. Bonus points if you can make it democratic o get it involved in the wars in Europe in some way.

It's not that likely, TBH. Do you know what originally caused the C.S.A.'s 1909 economic collapse in the first place, by the way? That's right, the very thing that it's government was trying to hold up.....slavery. BTW, have you read Robert Sobel's 1974 masterpiece, "The Planters' Paradox"? Strange title, I know, but it explains, quite well, why a slavery-related economic collapse was inevitable, at some point, regardless of what the C.S. government tried.

Now, theoretically, an ATL C.S.A. might be able to engage in some rather complex horse-trading and risk-taking and such, and, if they get lucky, may last another 20 or 30, maybe even 40 years, before the bubble finally explodes.....the thing is, though, when it does, it will blow up even harder than it did in our world.
