Very nicely done. I do love the fact that Slovakia and the Dominican Republic are in a common military and political alliance.

A very amateurish map with"graphics" of a Canada who tanks to Leo Amery got all of the British West Indies in the late 1920s.
Meanwhile this is a newspaper (even more amateurish than the first above) about the handover.
SEGRETARIO DELLE COLONIE
BRITANNICHE TRASFERISCE I TERRITORI CARAIBICI AL CANADA
Dopo mesi di revisioni , discussioni e accordi, il Segretario delle Colonie Leo Amery, con il consenso del Governo britannico e canadese , ha ufficialmente trasferito la gestione delle Indie Occidentali Britanniche e Terranova-Labrador al governo canadese, escludendo però la Guiana dal Concordato Oltramarino di Londra-Ottawa.
In questo modo, entrambi i governi affermano, ci sarà una maggiore efficenza e un minor peso della gestione coloniale , essendo il Canada vicino ai territori caraibici.

Anyone can do a better job than mine with these two here? I am asking because of limited time, resources and abilities. If you can help

- For the map all of the British West Indies belong to Canada.
- For the newspaper, it only has to look more...real.
The Mediterranean first started as a journalistic blog developed by Charlotte McLamb. After leaving her company due to ethical issues, she decides to design a platform where she and her peers can tell their ventures without having to comply with the corporate interloping that is present in every news media. Eventually, after jump-starting a donation campaign, she was able to hire programmers and actual designers to make her vision a reality. Today, the news website relies on its numerous subscribers and donations from numerous NGOs.
The news outlet received numerous praises for its bold coverage of events around the globe: Charlotte McLamb's coverage over human trafficking in South Libya has rewarded her with the Pulitzers in 2024, Michael Aronowitz leaks over Israel's de facto implementation of apartheid in 2023 has inaugurated his name into Amnesty International's "Heroes for a Better World".

@coffeebreakcigarette How about this? I found a scan of an OTL copy of this particular fascist rag from August 1928, managed to dig up a near-matching headline font (Asphaltic Grain Condensed from www.billyargel.com) and this is the result. I left off the huge banner the real thing had, with print date, pricing, publishers' info etc. as you'd need about 200 times as much text as this to fill up the seven columns that Mussolini had his paper typeset in. I'm also not completely happy with the only newsprint filter algorithm I have available for the photos. But I hope it's more what you're aiming for If you'd like a layer-based file for ease of further editing just PM me and tell me what format you'd like it saved as.

@Battlestar_Cydonia after you complete the date, try to publish it on reddit in the subreddit of Italy ( https://www.reddit.com/r/italy/ ) let's see if they fall for that.

Albanian resistance propaganda. Top: Long live Albania! Bottom: Albania will be free! Down with the foreign invaders!
A Dawn of Red and Black
Rroftë Shqipëria! - Part 1
Serbia and Greece were utterly ravaged by the Weltkrieg. Sitting on the losing end of the table during the peace negotiations of Rotterdam, the terms were exceedingly harsh, more so even than their West European counterparts. Serbia was forced to abandon all claims on Bosnia, and ceded Macedonia to Bulgaria and Kosovo to Austria-Hungary. Montenegro was placed under occupation. Greece didn't had it any easier: their holdings in Southern Macedonia, Salonika and Chalkidiki were ceded to Bulgaria, while the islands of the Aegean - with the exception of Crete and Euboea - were given away to Ottoman Turkey. Beyond the humiliating loss of territory were the economic reparations: amounts of money so vast that they quickly crippled the feeble postwar economies of both nations.
The effects were clear for Serbia and Greece. Austro-Hungarian forces would abandon Montenegro and Bosnia in late 1921, leaving the League of Four - Germany, Austria, Bulgaria, and later Croatia - to occupy these territories. The destabilization of the old regime left a vacuum only very scarcely filled up by the Central Powers. However, it also reignited ethnic tensions which directly affected the politics and society of Serbia. These passions would culminate in 1922, when a Serbian army officer named Milan Nedić led a coup against the unpopular King Alexander I and proclaimed himself Regent. Nedić, an outspoken Serbian nationalist and irredentist, supported the territorial expansion of Serbia to encompass all ethnically-Serb regions of Europe.
Milan Nedić, Regent of Serbia
In Greece, a civil war was brewing. The country was torn between the Royalists - supporters of the King - and Liberals, who adhered to the republican, irredentist, anti-socialist ideals of former Prime Minister Eleftherios Venizelos. It was a conflict which had been brewing since the onset of the Weltkrieg: King Constantine I was in favor of neutrality, while Venizelos ardently supported entering the war on the Entente's side. Pro-intervention elements would secure power in government, a grip which continued even after defeat came to be. However, when the Treaty of Rotterdam was signed, the blame was placed on the King: a distant, corrupt, and thoroughly ineffective leader, whose German sympathies were deemed unpatriotic, and ultimately the root cause of Greece's loss in the war. In 1923, the army would lead a coup which dethroned the monarch and established a civilian head of state and government, under the leadership of Venizelos, who took the post of lifelong Prime Minister. The Hellenic State was born.
In July 1924, the League of Four abandoned Montenegro, leaving behind the disastrously unstable Kingdom of Montenegro. Once the foreign armies left, the small country broke apart into anarchy. Nedić decided to act, occupying Montenegro and annexing that same August. Germany and the other countries barely batted an eye; after all, they had more serious issues at hand. This victory emboldened Serbia and solidified Nedić's regime. Soon, Belgrade set their eyes on bigger targets.

Kosovo, once a Serbian territory, was allocated to Albania following the Treaty of Rotterdam and the subsequent Treaty of Sofia, which brought peace to the Balkans. The territory was majority Albanian; however, there also was a sizeable Serb minority. Under King Zog I, these Serbs were subjected to forced relocation and lesser status: they were used to work the mines and fields of Kosovo while the ethnic Albanian elite reaped the rewards. This apparent mistreatment of Serbs was the cause of much tension between Serbia and Albania. Serbia was looking for any excuse to justify a war of aggression, and Albania knew it. Hollow promises of aid from Germany and Bulgaria did little to ease Albania's worries. It was a dark time for the people of both nations.
Tensions would reach a boiling point in December 1926, when Albanian authorities began uprooting Kosovo Serb communities to employ them as cheap labor in the Albanian interior. Many Serbs opposed this, organizing into armed bands that attacked Albanians and sabotaged the relocation process. Tirana accused Belgrade of aiding these groups. In January 1927, a radical Serb militia attacked an Albanian military outpost in the town of Besanë, Kosovo. 12 Albanian soldiers were killed, making it the largest and most ambitious attack out of the others. In retribution, Albanian troops rounded up 633 Serb civilians from nearby towns and villages, and killed them in cold blood.

The Besanë Massacre was the turning point of relations between Serbia and Albania. For Nedić, it was all he needed to justify war. On 2 March, 130,000 Serb soldiers marched into Kosovo and northern Albania. It was a fearsome campaign of terror and violence.

Central Powers victory, pretty much. I've focused mostly on the Balkans and Austria-Hungary in terms of lore, but basically, the AH collapses violently and small countries like Serbia and Greece go out for revenge.

Is Italy included in this revenge? I think they would algo go for it AS SOON AS AH collapses.
Depends if Italy still exists. I do think Italy collapses in some sense, although some version of North Italy would certainly jump at Veneto and Tyrol.
Gonna leave this here, from a unknown TL where things at ITV in the UK really did shake-up, here's the end of an 1981 promo on the eve of the franchise licence renewal:

A fun little one-off image I made, trying to emulate a sort of Early Computer(-punk) News Site. It's technically for a timeline, but in the sense that I have a vague idea of what the world map would vaguely look like -- not in the sense that I'm actually working on anything else for it. Hope y'all like it!!
