After Bruce’s evil comments,
I went back and made a world map for the same time, same scenario. The PoD is that the CSA wins the Civil War and also wins a war with Mexico, taking several Mexican provinces. However, the US retakes these provinces and Tennessee, Arkansas, and Kentucky. Texas withdrew when the other states wanted a share of its oil revenues, forming the Republic of Texas. The US treats the CSA as a colony, and controls its economy. Because of a rebellion in the South shortly after receiving the Zimmerman telegram, the US goes to war with the South instead of the Central Powers, causing them to win the war. Germany wins its Mittelafrica, but is strained by holding up both Austria and the Ottomans. They revoke Emperor Charles IV’s title, giving it to Karl. They in effect say “No annexing until you are more stable.” Karl forms the United States of Greater Austria, which has a Congress like the US’s, a prime minister to deal with national issues, and the emperor at the top, to deal with foreign policy and wars. This restructuring of the Government is accompanied by large-scale industrialisation. By 1926, the USGA is strong enough to annex parts of Rumania, Montenegro, and Albania, as originally planned. However, Karl suggests annexing all of Rumania and the coal-rich northern provinces of Serbia, leaving Albania. His plan is enacted, and by 1927, they are integrated into the Republic. However, the Germans’ attention to Austria costs them in Africa and the Middle East, where the Ottoman Empire loses land in the Arabian peninsula and they are forced to let German East Africa go as a free state. In the Pacific, Japan controls all German and French possessions, and has spheres of influence over much of China. Mongolia and Tibet are technically part of China, but are more or less independent states. The Dutch lose control of the East Indies, and watch them get divided between Britain and Japan.

If there is anything I didn't mention that is on the map, let me know.
