Will this be carried on? Any chance, e.g., of more infoboxes? Maybe on the Peru and Bolivian mess?
An infobox for Charles Maurras, TTL's Franz von Papen analogue. (I saw that you already had someone else for the von Papen analogue, but I made this anyway.)

I'd rather you maintained canon; but nice infobox.
Hey Kaiser, the TvTropes page for this timeline says it was made by Ms Whatsittoya. Was that your old username or did you take the timeline over from that person? Also, the TvTropes page is weak as heck so if any of you guys want to work on it, that's available.

"ВыТруба" sounds terrible & nonsensical in Russian.
Has anyone tried to make a Russian equivalent of the WW2 Native American Code Talkers?
How about Archi as the "Windtalkers".

Forgive my bluntness, but this sounds rather cheesy to me. Hitler himself didn't need some over-the-top Freudian Excuse to become the bigot he was.

2005 was a stressful year. To Vally Pavlov, a year not so worrying. Russia had grown but its global hegemonic dominance was under questioning. The Germans experienced the taste of tragedy and joy. Already the Malian collapsed, seeing Indo-Chinese trying to appear as protagonists. The Peruvians rebels advanced little, the Andean terrorism still had breath, but the front was still very much controlled by the Russian-German coalition.
Chapter 38: January 17th, 2005 (Bamako, Mali) - December 19th, 2005 (Kital, occupated by SRAA)

The Azawadi tribal nationalism began to revive gradually. The Malian government was gradually cooling down with some riots from disgruntled with dictator Moussa Traoré's regime who tried to align all the national army to his supreme command, alienating generals and officials who sold their faith for money in tax havens, as well other properties such as imported cars and vast land tracts on Mali's upcountry.
Only a surprising decision of the President from January 17th, 2005 began to intrigue the population: the dictator Traoré announced that national currency would be the Russian ruble, rather than Malian franc, which pleased the President Pavlov (according to some Ottoman and American sources, the Russian President promised sanctions against Mali's government as the country began to want to enrich uranium and build a nuclear plant in Bamako in 1999) as well as putting Mali in the Russian economic "sphere" definitively.
The president's decision had the opposite effect, inflation which was 15% in all 2004 was reached 20% only in February, due to the highly volatile exchange rate and the gap on money's production. What ever they circulated 200 million rubles in Mali and entered another 150 that month to try to "warm up" the economy. The decision was not smart, even the dictator knowing that the boom of the Russian currency in the country had begun in 1997 (with financial openness to other countries). Traoré appealed to the International Bank (Intbank) for a bailout of 2 billion rubles in February, as the GDP forecast was -7% in 2005 as many national industries began to break due to lack of competitiveness in African market. The aid was granted, but the situation there was war for resources: markets and shops had become constant scenes of destruction and this fact, known as Needs Race took place from January to June.
The final straw came when the dictator and his army faction ousted all officials considered "subversive" by your government. Coincidentally, all were neutral or opposed to Traoré. In addition, the government proclaimed martial law and started terror.
In a desperate attempt to gain popularity, the dictator declared war on Senegal in late July, but before the start of the fighting, the dictator was deposed and was installed a military regime led by Colonel Amadou Touré on on August 1st. Several foreign embassies were deserted after the coup, increasing the tension. The Traoré's supporters agreed ceasefire with Senegal, but they didn't accept the "false authority" of the new president.
Thus, in North, the Songhai Revolutionary Army of Azawad (SRAA) has decided to declare the country's independence, and in September began to attack cities in the Malian north. But the strongest point of Mali Civil War happened in November 2005 when more than 2,000 people were executed by Touré government, which were mostly supporters of Traoré. This caught the attention of Council of Nations, but an embargo was vetoed by Russia, then in December began protests in Moscow against genocide of Mali, which spread the great cities of the world, beyond the campaign Give Peace to Mali. The balance was more than 30,000 dead at enter 2005's end to 2006's begin.
In January 2006, after several negotiations with local leaders, the Malian Federation was established (with its capital in Kayes and presided over by Moussa Traoré). The Russian government condemned the conflict in December on Christmas statement of President Pavlov, but humanitarian aid not yet arrived. Meanwhile, most of Azawad victory happened in Kital on December 19th, now with support of some rare but not a few, Indian and Chinese fascists volunteers.

The "explosive" German year

The general election of May 5th were interesting, but there wasn't much change. Peer Steinbruck continued (a little less) steady leadership in Germany and won a third term, but still criticized by more liberal wing of party, contrary to German military aid in Peru and Afghanistan. The leader Horst Köhler of Zentrum was more concerned at the resumption of some seats lost in 1997 and 2001 also effectively attacking Steinbruck, and "FDP's resurgence" through Guido Westerwelle, a charismatic figure among liberals who could be a important third way on this election, and win the minorities as homosexuals and immigrants. Steinbruck won, losing about 50 chairs, and continued was an important ally for Valentin V. Pavlov in his third term on the Andean invasion.
There was also the wedding of Prince Friedrich Charles with Kamilla von Parker on April 9, after three years as Charlotte's widower, the popular princess of Prussia, having again married Prince trying to recover its image and Kaiserin Viktoria who had lost popularity after the princess death. But the most shocking fact of 2005 for Germans was the attack on the Berlin subway system on July 7th, day which the city was chosen to host the Olympic Games in 2012. The four explosions (one on a bus) orchestrated by Andean terrorists of Yachakuq and caused a situation of distrust of imperial security and overload of local telecommunications. Chancellor Steinbruck and President Pavlov joined further and announced at the G20 summit in Vienna after the bombing that killed 50 and wounded 700, and succeeded with veto power on UN Council to expand the invasion on Peru and Bolivia.

The new Queen of old Kingdom
French Prime Minister Rachida Dati, June 2005
French Prime Minister Rachida Dati, June 2005
After the "great accord" between Christian Democrats and Socialists at the end of French elections of 2005, the young leader Rachida Dati became Prime Minister, winning the incumbent Lionel Jospin, whose party won 222 seats, four less than DCA/CAS, which eventually lead a national unity coalition.
At a time when Europe was still living in a pleasant mood, but keeping constant concerns with the terrorist threat from the Andes, France sought a strong leadership of post-unification. Elected party leader in 2000 after Alain Juppe's brief leadership, managed to avert the remarkable figure of Valéry Giscard d'Estaing (involved in corruption scandals, he lost the general election to the Socialists in 1998).
The inevitable comparisons with former German Chancellor Hannelore Kohl emerged gradually, along with the "new Joan of Arc". The firm stance of Dati at other European leaders was enough for them to begin to come together next to her not only for fear but for your influence on other world leaders. Relations with Germans and Ottomans improved at the beginning of his government, but his government austerity policies began before the 2008 Great Crisis.
