The world is Burning, Nationalist Marxism has been growing while the Monarchies die in the flames of revolution, the order of old is dying and revolutionaries war over the corpses of the dying empires, why did this come ahead. It all started with the death of one man Otto Von Bismarck.
Bismarck sat as the King of Prussians right-hand man and had pushed Austria and Prussia to the verge of war, but on May 8, 1866 histories course would be changed forever. Ferdinand Cohen shot and killed Bismarck. A grand funeral was held and the King went on with the war but without Bismarck's guiding hand the King tried to bite off more then he could chew.
Austria began losing the war heavily being pushed back right to Vienna and without Bismarck's hand to control the King, the King didn't seem to want to stop at Vienna and the other great powers began worrying having reminders of Frederick the Great. So Russia had a private meeting with Austrian diplomats discussing what could Austria do to get the Russian Empires backing in the war, several terms came up. That Slavic peoples be either released or given autonomy, that Prussian Poland is given up to Russia along with Austrian pieces. The Austrians trembled but fearing the oncoming Prussian armies agreed with Russians terms and this would begin the alliance of the two empires, and soon Russia entered the war on Austria's side beginning the immediate assault on the east leaving Prussia caught off guard allowing an Austrian counter-attack and in a few months Berlin had Fallen, and the treaty of Berlin was formed.
Russians demands would be met and Austrian hegemony over southern Europe was cemented, Prussia would be forced to demilitarize and even pay reparations to Austria. This defeat would scar the Prussian people for decades to come and leave a burning hatred for the Monarchy in many Prussians hearts. The scene in Europe had completely changed, and there soon were fears over this Austrian-Russian alliance but those fears weren't met yeat as one of the great powers France had some concerns in America.
Mexico had been in the Frenches pocket for long but was in the middle of a bloody civil war and needed desperate french assistance, the French who had been distracted by keeping an eye on Prussia and they weren't willing to completely dedicate to their puppets civil war but once Prussia had been humiliated France took a long deep breath and went to send support to the Mexicans, and soon with combined French and Mexican armies were able to crush the rebellion but Mexico was not done yet. The Mexicans met with the French and discussed plans for a return of the former American territory, the French seemed hesitant but Mexicans said that the south had been damaged by the civil war there was still hatred for the north among the souths population, the French still seemed hesitant but went ahead with the plan and in 1869 launched a co Mexican-French invasion of the southern United States catching the Americans off guard and in two years were pressing on Richmond, the United States Government seeing defeat on the horizon plead for peace, and a multinational conference was held with America having to return the lost territory to Mexico and a minor demilitarization. This humiliating defeat like the one of Prussia's would send the united states down decades of self-imposed isolation and economic turmoil. Mexico to quell anti-Mexican sentiment set up two sorts of self-autonomous states, in California and Texas.
But France who seemed happy with there brand new powerful ally looked east again and saw that Austria and Russia had begun strengthing there ties again and almost seemed to be on the brink of going back to war with Prussia who had begun showing signs of collapse, fearing a Russian-Austrian controlled central Europe, France, and Britain stepped in and warned the Russians and Austrians that war against Prussia would be war against the rest of free Europe. So the Russians and Austrians backed off but pulled together their various vassals into an alliance simply referred to as "The Central-Eastern European Block" while France, Prussia, , and Italy who also were having Austrian pressures put on them and formed what is now commonly referred to as the 4 point axis or shortened down to The Axis, soon to be 5 points Axis when Ottoman Empire was allowed in after 1880s aggression from the Russian Empire and Austria almost leading to a continental war but was luckily avoided in the conference of Vienna, where minor Ottoman territory trades occurred but nothing major but this set up the flames of war and revolution to come as Europe began boiling as colonization took effect both in Africa and Asia as Russia and Britan pushed into the decaying Chinese empire and battled with the growing Japanese Empire, and by the 20th century the world was like a powder keg and it would only take one match to burst it.
(Now I know this timeline isn't realistic its not meant to be, its meant to be fun and give a crazy diverse different world different than our own and other timelines, now I will be replying with what happens next in the 20th century later but I hope you all enjoyed this little sum up.)
