Not much (non OTL) is happening there at the moment. The next big thing is probably the War of Dahomey Independence, but I don't think that's until almost 1810 or something.

Aww....wait a tic, the Space-Filling Empire is expanding, vassalage and all that, probably effect a few things.

Well yes, but outside of the southern coast of West Africa I'm not up on enough of the Tribes With Funny Names to accurately plot what it is. So I shall go with my gut instinct and just kick the Fulani in the balls.

Thande, you're doing what vegetables do if you leave them out of the icebox for too long. But keep doing it, I like it.

Fascinating developments in Japan. So the Tokugawa era has ended a half-century ahead of schedule. It's going to make quite a difference.

And all those Russians settling in the Amur valley had been brought to the attention of the Guangzhong Emperor…

Yeah, time to do something about that ;)

Well, kinda. Going by Thandes spoiler hints, we might see a divided Japan, which techncially would be a new era - but with one part still being the Tokugawa Shogunate...

Yeah, time to do something about that ;)

*sighs* I fear the 20th century could be Chinese already in LTTW...thats the problem with China, if you dont neuter it in your timelines, it will totally change the timeline, just because of Chinas potential...

Don't worry. The Chinese can always be relied upon to shoot themselves in the foot whenever it looks like they might rise to prominence, as Napoleon observed.

Gah! You're spoiling worse than that apple in my pantry that growls at me when I get food!

Keep it coming. :cool:

Good chapter Thande!:)
Unless the Japanese pull themselves together soon, Russia has good chances of keeping Hokkaido in their orbit.

I have just read through last 30 parts after a year of neglecting this timeline. I’ve been pleasantly surprised as they are a nice lecture and the summary timeline in AH.com Wiki proven to be most faithful. When completed LTTW could certainly compete with the best timelines – though as of now it didn’t reach my personal favorite “Top 3”. ;)

Random questions and comments:
1. Eugenics. Is it already introduced in Republican France or maybe it will be delayed to the discovery of genetics? Assuming Linnean Racism (Racialism?) is not discredited too early eugenics might become an acceptable practice.
2. Nice handling of dissolution of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. To what extend is Saxony-Poland (Poland-Saxony?) united? Single monarch or something more?
