To who is ever interested, I’m going to start an ATL on a Napoleonic style ww2. It will involve the majority of the world, will have alliances and neutrals, massive battles and naval warfare, war crimes, and much more. There are many players involved:

Major:
Britian
British Indian
France
French Indo-China*
Holland
Germany*
Austria
Ottoman Empire
Japan*
China*
Russia
Spain
Spainish Philippines
Portugal
United States*

Minor:
Australian Republic*
Korea
Mongolia
Brazil
Barbary States
Sweden
Denmark
India
Italian Republic

*’s:
French Indo-China:
Would be the result of French explorers colonizing off the Vietnam coast in early 1700’s. From there, they would expand and form alliances with the local tribes to bring them under French control. After France’s defeat in the seven years war, many French living in Canada leave and go to French Indo-China. The French build a huge naval base and produce a large native army under their control. This would block and challenge British expansion in the far east.
Germany:
Would be unified sometime between thirty years war and Fredrick the Great. It will have a strong army and a decent sized navy.
Japan:
The Tokagawa clan would loose the civil war in 1500’s and the new rulers would open Japan up to trade. This would allow modern firearms and military training, along with modern ship building, to make Japan a strong country.
China:
Would be unified and also opened to trade and such. She would, like Japan, have a modern army and navy.
Australian Republic:
The Australian Republic would be the result of Britian colonizing it in 1740 instead of 1770 and refugees from Ireland, Scotland, and other places would turn it into a thriving colony that would gain its independence in 1780. Along with its freedom, it would ally itself to britian and allow the british to use their ports, in return for british help in setting up its own navy and army.
United States:
The US would gain its independence early by one or two ways: 1st, have it gain it between late 1760’s and 1770 by a grateful Britian for helping them out in the seven years war(let the british see them as potential allies) or 2nd, have the US win the revolutionary war between 1777 and 1779. As a result to either, the US would have a bigger army and larger navy.

Many alliances would be formed:

This will be a splendid ATL I hope, but I’m not really an expert on Napoleonic times, so any suggestions or comments will help. I’m planning on having the war start between 1800 and 1805 and last several years, but I’m not for sure as of right now. Anyways, I hope someone out there will like this and encourage me to write it. Later!
