US President Harry Truman receives British Prime Minister Clement Attlee at his official residence in Philadelphia. The pair were the first American President and British PM to meet and was to contribute to a warming of Anglo-American relations.

The end of the Second Great War had seen the rise of Japan, a concern to the US and Germany. Britain, though defeated had not surrendered in either of the Great Wars and still had powerful resources and industry to hand.

Both the US and Germany began to look at their erstwhile enemy as a potential ally against Japan.

It wouldn't be a "newly re-admitted" state after ten years.

And from everything I could gather, the U.S. military didn't operate in Kentucky until the collapse of federal civilian power, namely the Kentucky State Police, in the mid-1930s.

I thought it was readmitted pretty quickly, wasn't it?

Yeah, now that you mention it was well over ten years before 1928. Custer might still have been slogging his way across western Kentucky at the time.

I don't get it, unless it's the fact that in the TL-191 ATE-verse, an OTL commie has become a TTL GOP member.

An American political cartoon satirizing how the Ottoman Empire received so little from her involvement in the war, particularly against the moribund Russian Empire, compared to their ally the German Empire. The cartoon was published shortly after the signing of the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk between Germany and the civil war torn Russian Empire in 1918.

That's exactly what I was commenting on.

Not a translation or anything, just period-appropriate lyrics.

Tune here.

That is an awesome TL-191 American version of "Die Wacht am Rheim." I know you wrote this a while back, but for the fun of it heres a fixed up version. I just fixed some lyrics to make it flow better with the music and such. Plus I gave the American verison a name. I hope you guys like it.

The Sword of Remembrance by John Phillip Sousa, 1914

Remembrance looks on Ellis fair,
'Cross oceans, for her sons despair,
Rebels have took her kindred dear,
and force her to submit in fear!

(Refrain)

Columbia, hold back your tears,
Columbia, hold back your tears!
Sword of Remembrance, does guide us all!
Sword of Remembrance, does guide us all!

Slavemongers, with their mocking flag,
of freedom's grand old bounty brag,
Yet shackle slaves in iron chains,
and frolic in fellow man's pain!

(Refrain)

Liars, in name of republic,
Hoisted in place of fasces stick,
Sent Columbia's sons to die in vain,
To justify their unjust reign!

(Refrain)

Columbia, in place of Union Jack,
Then took her rifles off the rack,
threw back a crown of plunder rich,
a union she would have to stitch!

(refrain)

Their spite of Freedom's working ways,
made them expand to conquer slaves,
explained themselves as workingmen,
while slaves were forced to live in pens!

(refrain)

So we, good sons of Columbia,
shall free from false Utopia,
restore to them all to a free land,
and reunite our Motherland!

(refrain)

I like it very much. Now I'm thinking of writing a US version of Alte Kameraden (Old Comrades, a German march).

Looking forward to it. Come to think of it, probably a lot of German marching songs get translated.

Old Comrades: the US Edition

Sung to the German march Alte Kameraden by Carl Teike

March on, Old Comrades, Columbia does call,
To fight on for the Stars and Stripes!
The rebs are roused, their men at arms,
Pecking at us just like little snipes!

Comrades, Old Comrades, the time has come,
To bring these states back into place!
Washington fought for unity,
Not for this secessionist disgrace!

When we've camped out in the land of cotton,
We'll show the people there the Union has not forgotten,
We'll each find a sweet Southern belle,
And show her the strength of a Union man!

Laughing, Cheering, Laughing, Cheering, down in sweet Georgia brown,
Preaching liberation and keeping rebels down!
Mississippi is so pretty when it's in the Union's hands,
And then we will be lounging in sunny Florida sands!

When their barrels come gargling towards us,
We won't grovel, we won't make a fuss,
For we are Uncle Sam's best men,
And hell to these Confederates impends!

Their men in Richmond are afraid,
That we will slit their throats with blades,
But sadly we don't have time for fun,
We'll just blow their brains out with a gun!

British forces liberate Utrecht from the Germans, Second Great War. They would later be beaten back to the UK after the nuclear bombing of London.

Um, the British were the bad guys in the SGW, so I highly doubt the pro-German Dutch people would cheer them on, except for some groups of collaborators. Especially taking in account what plans Action Francaise-France might have had for our country.

"Liberated" is a subjective term.
