"For Fish, Fur and the Tsar" - A Russian Alaska-TL

Iserlohn

The Great War

will be delayed and when it comes, it will come in a new thread posted in the Timelines and Scenarios board, with this thread acting as a discussion thread only. With this post, I turn my attention down on new projects, as well as my personal life.

Here are a few small hints on the future of this war, just as a teaser:

Belgium and the colonies are going to be very important.


See ya, folks! I won't abandon this TL completly, I promise.

I hate to bump something after so long, but I like the idea, I just think the updates are to small. I also think America would've taken California unless the Russians had an earlier and larger settlement and overall presence in the area. Possibly control over the san Francisco Bay Area. America will still definitely get Southern California, but Russia could eek out a small portion of northern California.

This TL has been dead for about two and a half years... Also I was dumb and naive, being influenced by the mere knowledge of Fort Ross, writing about a topic I barely knew stuff about.

If I were to re-write it (I played with that idea half a year ago by the way), I would drastically reduce Russian California in size.

I realized that, I just wanted to throw in the fact that I like the idea, the POD being a flight of pure fancy and ingenious, and I would like to work on making this timeline a lot better. One start to the timeline, would be the Russian conquest of Hawaii, leading to a more vested Russian interest in the Pacific as a whole, and giving it's navy an easy stop off point en route to California.

First of all: thanks, it just seemed so "fitting" back then, considering how strong the Tsar was back then a sudden realisation like that is perfectly valid as a POD.

And yes, it would make A LOT of sense for Russia to get Hawaii or at least the majority of the archipelago (like all of the Hawaiian Islands excluding Hawaii proper, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KahoolaweKaho'olawe and Maui).

However at the moment I do not intend to work on this, my priorities at the moment are university and my currently active TL. If you are that interested in it, you can work on it yourself. Maybe a co-operative effort, if I ever were to pick this up again, I wouldn't tackle it alone.

Oh I meant it as a cooperative effort. Perhaps for another time. Im currently working on Dead By Dawn. And then Im going to do the redux.
