DBWI no russian conquest of Anatolia

How might Japan be affected by all this? Their division between the British backed Republic in the South and the Russian backed (although it was half-hearted) Shogonate in the North from the 1860s to the 1900s was a tense period for the country. The demonization of the Emporer in modern Japan and the rise of several new cults to fill the religious vacuume is interesting to read about. Seriously, Japan's religious nuts are just plain weird, just be glad they hate violence.

The US had some interest in Japan at that time, namely in trade agreements and influence in the east, so they might've tried something similar to what the British and Russians did were it not for the Civil War and a refocus towards the Western Hemisphere. And the New Religious Movement can definitely get creepy from time to time. Have you seen the 骨の場所? That's literally a building made entirely out of the bones of its followers to serve as a weird hive-mind thing that reveal information to churchgoers and directly speak to the caretakers of that place as revelations from the Yomi World.
 
OOC:So will serfdom be abolished at all or just much latter than OTL?In OTL,the low effectiveness of the serf armies was highly relevant towards the decision to abolish serfdom.

OOC: I'm going for yes it is abolished. We will need to think of some other reason(s).
 
Maybe Russia would have not falling apart like it did. It just got too big for itself, try for some more, and fell down hard.

Fell apart? Sure, the Siberian territory they lost to China might look impressive on a map, but their western territories were always more important, and their economy boomed after the war.

For a time, but today, Russia is no great power. I mean, you got the Polish and Ukrainian Republics, the Batics and Finland. And they give up Anatolia, and Constantinople in the end because they could not deal with Greeks, and Turks, And they the mess that was Persia in the end.

OOC: My fun is ending /cry. I was really trying to have them succeed in holding on to most of their territory.

IC: You mean the autonomous republics that are part of the Eurasion Confederation? Sure, they aren't part of "Russia" anymore", but don't believe the American Technocratic League propaganda that depicts them as ready to fall apart and turn on each other at the first chance. The Tsarina was smart to give autonomy to some agitating minorities during the 20th century, before things blew up in her face. They all have very good relations these days. The Anatolian Commonwealth, Constantinople Free City, and Mesopotanian Republic (all also members of the EC) love their number one trading partner, Russia.

And the EC mission in Persia really is trying to sort things out and bring stability, not wash their hands of it.

OOC: Well then observe my last post, I think that could work.

OOC: Well....

IC: The EC is a joke. After the 80's, it been a joke. The Free City what's to be with Anatolia, but Russia won't let them. All 3 nations people hates Russia, it's just that the govmement beg Russia to keep them afloat. And you have India on the rise. Persia hates the EC, and what them out. Why do you think so many people try to get into the Levant?

And the Technocratic League is just the South yelling.

OOC: Fine. *sigh*

IC: I suppose you are right about the EC and Persia, but India? China is the one who should be worried about India, someone is finally challenging their spot as the Asian hegemon. The Indians are already trying to break into the lucrative business contracts China has "established" (read: foced) all over East Asia. Of course, India has a LONG way to go to catch up to China, what with China having about the same population but being one of the most developed countries in the world.

And don't dismiss Brazil and their lackeys. Their power on the world stage grows day by day, and the U.S. is too busy dealing with the Mexican Civil War (what is this, the third one in a hundred years?) to do anything about it, although it may be too late even if they could.
 
OOC: Again, I am sorry, but large empires always fall. A Russis that took over the Anatolia and such is no different.

OOC: I just really liked the idea, since every single thread I've seen on the subject had ethic cleansing and then exactly that happening. Wanted to try something different. :(

And the OTL US treated the Philippines like crap when they were a colony, but has good relations now. I don't see why Russia can't do the same.
