Yay!Aw
Well, I have to echo that it does look like a repeat of Hiedler, but... honestly, who else would have thought of Crimea, or the Russian Jews, at all? Great Update! And really cool title!
Look to the West (Thande's first proper timeline, and it's about time!)

I honestly hadn't realised the backstories were similar until someone pointed it out.
Probably because I planned the two things months apart and it didn't occur to me. Oh well.
Please its the classic archetype of a hero. Person finds new purpose after his family is killed and goes on to fight the opressors who killed his family and does extraordinary things. They sound familiar becuase every hero is like that. I personally like reading stories about them so I have no problems with it.
No, now you just have to run with it. Have the Spaniards rise up under a man whose family was trapped in their house and burned down by the French! The Poles rise up under a man whose family was trapped in their house and burned down by the Russians! The Greeks rise up under a man whose family was trapped in their house and burned down by the Ottomans! The Maori rise up under a man whose family was trapped in their house and burned down by the Royalists! The Japanese rise up under a man whose family was trapped in their house and burned down by the Ainu! The French scientists rise up under Lavoisier's kids!
C'mon, you know you want to. Then you can rename the story "Look to the Burning House Where Your Family Lived!"
LTTW's moral: When you burn down a house, always look to kill all members of its family
Shall I put symbols of flames on the maps from now on to show where each hero came from?
Looking at Roberto's Shiny New Map (and very nice it is too), I can't help but wonder what'll happen with Saxony-Poland and the Issue of German Nationalism...
The borders of Austria, Poland and Wallachia and Moldavia look very off...
Thande: What basemap did you use, and why were the East European borders so off?

You're right...
I fixed some of the problematic borders:
Dammit! Just pretend they are; I'm not chaning the map again until the next version.
EDIT: I might as well get it as accurate as possible:

Fucking hell, man, I just realised I had actually had planned that at some point
Well, nearly. Time to rip out the red pen...

I drew them from scratch, I think, so no wonder they're off.
I'm going to take more time to do it when I do it on Qazaq's big one.

I was joking (slightly). In fact, this world is heading for massive wars in the 20th century precisely because the French didn't burn down a Spaniard's house

Well, for a suprising plot twist it could be a woman whose family died in a burning house!
...actually, that has potential. Much potential. A reverse Jean d'Arc! After all, Spains very catholic, too! And allied Propaganda would exploit that to no end!

I forgot, what were the proper scrifices brought forth at Delphi?
