WIP of "The Eternal War", where WW1 never truly ends. Ethiopia has joined the Central Powers. Main POW is the German original offensive is stopped at the Seine not where it did OTL.
Current year is 1930.
The Hussite wars lasted longer, and the nobles of the HRE agreed that a consolidated central government would help in fighting the heathen uprising. This restructuring would include an independent court system, a unified military force, unified currency and a council of nobles who would govern the nation. The nobles would hold most of the power but the king (still an elected position) would have the final say on most matters.
The Most Serene Republic of Venice saw the consolidation of power as a threat to their expanding influence. While the HRE was concerned with putting down the uprising, the Venetian republic began to expand their claims along the Illyrian coast and into the territory of Napoli and Sicily. An offer of protection from the rest of Europe saw the Hafsids brought into the Venetian sphere. The government of Venice entered into a military alliance with the Mamluks with the goal of obliterating the Ottomans.
The Hussite rebellion had been successfully put down by the Catholic forces. Seeking to check the expansion of Venice and the so-called protestants, the HRE, France and Spain befriended the Ottomans and offered protection from the Mamluk-Venice alliance. Venice has long had a policy of religious acceptance and the increasing violence against non-catholics within the Papal Alliance angered Venice. They expanded their alliance to encompass the Commonwealth of Poland-Lithuania, the Kingdom of Hungary, the Kingdom of England and the Union of Kalmar. Scotland quickly joined the Papal alliance as security against their southern neighbors. Diplomats from both alliances are frantically trying to convince the Safavids of Persia to join their cause. The Nabhani and the Mughals are waiting for the opportune moment to strike at their Persian neighbors.
With two great nations vying for power, war is on the horizon. How far will it spread?
The Haitians fought and won independence against France, which continuously abolished and revoked the abolitioning of slavery. Before finally sending in gunboats and forcing the Haitians to pay them an indemnity, in gold, in compensation for 'lost property'. There is no way in Hell Haiti will fall into their orbit, let alone become a colony as the coloring of this map shows.
The Reconquista fails... and the American Civil War still happens? The American War of Independence still happens? The founding of Puritan settlements in New England still happens? The Church of England still happens? Not to say anything of all the other convergent nations, borders, and ideas. So... many... dead... butterflies.
Looks great.
What about the New World, and Asia?
What year does the map take place?
Will they be a Part Two?
France still remembers 1940 and keeps the Germans as a strong buffer to the new Polish state
The colors are slightly different but they are in Iran’s sphere in the Arabian Cold War.
Just realized something. Hejaz is a free and independent state... Surrounding British run (by the color) Mecca. The British are in Mecca.
I really have nothing to say to that. I will however spent some time looking for some 'not sure if serious' memes.

The British simply colonize the area after hearing about the riches of the New World. That would still bring people to America, just not Puritans. Since the French and the English still exist, the Seven Year's war still happens, the British still tax America, and they still revolt.
OK?

But...
I...
Non Muslim s are BANNED from entering Mecca.
I mean there's an argument to be made that you could interpret that particular bit as 'banned from entering the Grand Mosque' but even so, that's literally the exact opposite of what would be accepted.

They had a Muslim be the head of Mecca. I'm pretty good at fixing holes, so just keep sending them my way!
How about this. WHY do the British want to be there? HELL, Aragon has Jerusalem. Why not just go there? They needed the Kaaba to land helicopters on?
What is going on with France? German Puppet, or radical Fascist State? And Freach Government in exile in Africa?

The British see Mecca as an easy way to control the Mid East, if they hold the holy city, they can basically use the Hejaz and Nejd as puppets, and can get rich on oil.
