Map Thread XVIII

Not open for further replies.
Inspired by how awesome Baconheimer's take on a DBWI was, I decided to do one of my own.




[ A Turn for the Worse

Interesting! And I like all the alt-terminology. What's north America like in the "original" timeline, aside from being more fragmented?
 
Russian Civil War in Antarctica (1919)
HiWurCH.png

The base map was created by @Gian, and used with their permission.
The timeline this map is based in is Devon Moore's The Great White South, and can be found here at Alternative History Wikia.
None of the writing and graphics I post in relation to the Great White South are canonical, but do have his approval to be posted.
The request for Allied intervention was accepted the United Kingdom, France, and the United States, but didn't arrive soon enough to prevent communist agitation and outright rebellion. Called the "Red Army of Antarctica" by themselves, and "The Rash" by the Whites of Antarctic Russians, by 1919 they had controlled almost the entire Ross Gulf coast and surrounded the de facto capital Russian Antarctica. White forces managed to evacuate to Mirny closer to the Border of British East Antarctica, passing by the Midnight Coast Oblast as it again erupts into violence in response to attempts at Russianization of the population.

Notes:
1) The White forces have begun a retreat from Yuzhnaya Zemlya, having lost the Russian- and Creole-Majority settlements to the Red Army of Antarctica
2) Communism was very popular within the mining towns of the Trans-Antarctic Mountains, little do they know their siege of Novopetrograd is about to be broken by forces from across the sea...
3) Descendant of settlers from the days of Nederlands Middernachtkust and the Boers deported from the Cape of Good Hope have been generally complacent under Russian rule, but attempts at russianization to combat communist sympathies have produced the opposite result

Russian Civil War in Antarctica (1918)
Russian Civil War in Antarctica (1919) (you are here)

What's the POD here. it a very unique idea I hope to see more of!
 
Fun stuff. Do you have the blank original of that map? Want to do some sort of Green Antarctica map/scenario one of these days...
I'd like to see a world containing a nuclear standoff between the Tsalal and an über-Inuit Empire. Now that's what I would call a "Cold War"... :p
 
Thoughts?
I found myself liking Timor surprisingly well

Different Racism (more racially mixed, a “mulatto” south) a lot less migration from Europe or Africa after 1700, so a bit more culturally distinct from Europe as well (no concept of “the West” or anything like NATO), less capitalist, less evangelical (much more Espicapalian or Catholic rather than Baptist or Presbyterian). Every cowboy with enough guns declared himself a King in the 19th century (democracy being a bit of a foreign concept), and the eastern seaboard was briefly reconquered by European powers in a World War equivalent. The Lakota and the Comanche and a few other natives survive as independent states. There’s also some Muslim minorities (early abolition of slavery at a time when Blacks could still remember Africa changed things up). Alaska is still part of Russia. Hispaniola is all English now. More of Central America was English at one point or Scottish (no acts of Union). North America is generally poorer than Europe and about on the same level as Asia.

Here is Gian's original post of the base map!

What's the POD here. it a very unique idea I hope to see more of!
In the Great White South canon the POD is just "Antarctica is warmer starting in 20,000 BCE," but personally I ascribe to geothermal activity being the source, which just might make an appearance in later material for my rendition :p
 
That's a grim combo. The only equally grim one I can think of (other than RL stuff like Nazis vs Imperial Japan, ofc) is that one scenario RvBOmally did featuring Draka vs DoD America.
I once had a Nazis vs Tsalal one. I made some edgy maps for a while

Interesting setting. What happened with Canada?
 
So approximately a year ago, I had attempted to make a "Most Popular" list for Map Thread XV. Unfortunately, that ultimately didn't get finished, but thankfully this time has proven different.

Listed below are all the (finished and posted by the original artist) maps (with appropriate hyperlinks) that managed to get more than 40 likes by the time of this post. Of course being only human, I'll admit that there might be an error or two, which if so I do apologize in advanced. Also important to note that the "ranking" for maps with the same number of likes is simply based on which map was posted first, not which one got to x likes first.

And special thanks for @Minnesota_Nationalist, @Falkanner, @Betelgeuse and others for their help. And with that said, I would now like to present -

Honorable Mentions

The Worldraj reaches India WIP - By Alex Richards, 119 Likes - Even though it's disqualified because it's a WIP, the number of likes it has to be applauded. Can you imagine how many likes the finished product will get?
Rolling Its Mile-Wide Tide Along: Essafaleia - By HowAboutThisForAName, 61 Likes - Not a WIP, but unfortunately it's a broken link
Imaginary Places World - By B_Munro, 41 Likes - The absolute effort put into this (and from what I can tell, it's still not 100% finished) definitely deserves some recognition.

And a special shoutout to Upvoteanthology and crew's "People's Socialist Atlas" project - whose maps managed to get a total of 578 cumulative likes on the last thread.

I knew as soon as Upvote posted it the PSA project was going to win last year's Turtledove Award and I absolutely didn't mind at all because it really is that amazing.
 
The Map Thread XVII Retrospective.
Woo! Top 100! barely.

As a side note, just a wee bit annoying that 2 of my shitpost maps (I think the only 2 shitpost maps I made that thread, at least at the top of my head) made it on the list, while only one of my "real" maps made it there. Hell, one of those shitpost maps that took me maybe an hour to make nearly surpassed the "real" map, that took close to a month!

To be fair though, I also wasn't very active last thread. I think those two shitposts make up about 1/5th of my maps in that thread.
 
Finally done!

When Wu Peifu declared the restoration of the Xuantong Emperor to the Dragon Throne in 1928, a land that suffered a century of humiliation and a decade of anarchy breathed a weary sigh of relief. The brilliant warlord had led the Beiyang Army from victory to victory since his accession six years prior, crushing the republican upstarts of the Kuomintang and the treacherous Fengtian of Zhang Zuolin in many wars and across many battlefields. After years of conflict and sacrifice, the Peking government, under his firm guidance, had finally triumphed over the lesser warlords of China, and was poised to bring peace and unity to the Middle Kingdom once and for all.

Eight years later, and the resurgent Qing Empire now faces new threats both within and beyond its borders.

In the steppes of the Mongolian north, the madman Baron von Ungarn-Sternberg looks upon Xinhai with greed, and its Ma protectors with wroth. In the northeast, Zhang Zhuolin and his Japanese puppet masters prepare to encroach upon the Forbidden City once more. In the coasts and cities of the south, Sun Chungfang and his Eight Provinces are stretched to the limit enforcing the will of German corporations and keeping the peasant, worker, and clerk alike in line. And in the mountains of the southwest, rumours abound of banners with white suns on blue fields flying proudly from where azure dragons once stood...

Fifteen years has passed since the end of the Weltkrieg, and the world is inching closer towards the wake of a second. It is inevitable that the Middle Kingdom will be drawn to the coming bloodshed... but will there still be an Empire left to emerge from it?
