Not bad. No harsh treaty at least.

I probably forgot something I meant to include but it's the gist of it. The Germanies doesn't go militant in the 30s, naturally.

You, uh, made a mistake with the number references from 7 onwards...

Other than that, a believable peace treaty. Hope we hear more of what Rosa's doing!

Of course I did. I'll go fix that, thank you for pointing it out! Oh, and you'll be hearing quite a bit about Rosa next chapter. ;)
 
The Black Tom explosion already happened before the POD ; are the anti-immigrant laws, the Sedition Act, the Italian anarchist bombings, Red Scare, etc. still gonna happen?

The anti-immigrant laws still pass, seeing as there are shiploads of Europeans wanting to leave the ruins in Europe for greener pastures. Not to mention that the nativism of many Americans just doesn't get butterflied by not being in an overseas quagmire. The Sedition Act of 1918 fails as the United States is not at war, but debate is resurfaced and it eventually passes a year later with all of the rabble-rousing Reds in Russia (not to mention Germany). Solidarity with Italian comrades and the prevalence of "propaganda of the deed" means that there are still anarchist bombings, some in slightly different places at slightly different times, but it's similar to OTL in this respect. The Red Scare I did mention still happens, slightly mitigated by a few things and while not as big as OTL's, is still very much a thing. A lot of this I'll also cover in more detail in the next two chapters, when we (finally) start bringing this TL's focus towards the United States.

And for the rest of you, loyal readers, before this I'll add more stuff to Chapter 4 and make sure I tie up a few loose ends that I left open, like the fate of the Ottomans after their treaty. Actually...well, something below should give you a good idea of what happens to them...

NEXT TIME:

Notice of Discontinuation
Hello, all.

I am here to regrettably post that there will be no Chapter 5 to this timeline. In fact, I will no longer be updating A Different Sound of Silence. I am aware that this didn't need to be said, but I thought I might as well make it official. Looking through my notes, I realized some problems with parts of the butterfly effect and some of the premise, but for those in the official group discussion I'll get around to posting an incredibly rough outline of where I was going to take this timeline.

To anyone I've let down with this announcement or status quo, I want to apologize to you.

This will be all.
