AIDS?


Also the colony in Syria for the German confredation doesn’t make sense first there no way to defend supply it or even make money off it and would cost way way to much money to mantain and if Bismarck still around he would have never wanted, also who going to lead it? Prussia? Bavaria? And the list goes on and on it makes more sense to give it to France Naples or anyone else

For America however, the only flies in the ointment of its victory were the failure to invade Newfoundland and the loss of the eastern half of Haiti which was restored to Spain as a colony- in fact all of Haiti was occupied by Spain and it only regained its independence at the bargaining table.

I imagine America was super annoyed after losing it. Even after becoming a continent-spanning empire, they are still whining about not getting fucking Haiti.

"I want Haiti..."
"You already have an island nation."
"But I want Haiti."

Who was going to lead it? Maybe a restored Teutonic Order. In any case, I do not think that it is implausible for Syria to fall under some sort of German influence.

Great update!

That states by the name of Rhomania and Rumania exist so close to one another is bound to cause confusion, if not tension.

Does anyone know what the demographic situation in the Holy Land with respect to religion would have looked like at this point in time, with allowances made for butterflies?

Russian Iraq is unaesthatic. Needs at least Iran to smooth out those borders.

Looking at that map of Africa I'm left wondering how much do the Drakia actually control. They've got over 5000km of coastline to manage. Whats their population again?

Interesting timeline, I'm enjoying it! I think it would be interesting to have the USA and Drakia coexist to the modern day as a mirror to each other and a Cold War analogue. Keep up the good work!

So the Ottomans, in theory, control the Anatolian heartland, Albania and Hejaz ? Why didn't the conference take away Hejaz or Albania from them ? Not like they can control those territories in practice anyway.

For example, Albania would have made a good Italian colony (allowing Italy to get some pride), but wasn't that valuable, so it wouldn't have been a major sacrifice for the Alliance to give it to Italy.

yes it is because first just look at a map impossible to supply it or keep control over it it like having Russia have a colony in india there is absolutely no way to supply it or keep control of it the German colonies in Africa could not be cut off by the straits and then they were building up a navy time in This time they have absolutely no navy supplies line will be strenuous at best and any revolt will be extremely hard to put down and would quickly be taken in any invasion and I’d rhis is like the otl German comfredation is a absolute mess, also as I said before what power would what a colony in a place whweee you are to the purview of multiple local power to get to your own colony?

Syria is actually pretty close to Germany. Closer than most of OTL German colonies.

thoae colonies were on the open oceans were when they were a building a navy to rival the Royal Navy while at this time on the map they have one tiny part of the map where they can supply and they can get blocked there English Channel gibtrtular Sicily Malta Tripoli and then you can get to Syria and other reason cited above and also technology was much more advanced then. no one in Germany at this time wanted colonies Ethier unless whilmen had come to the throne and it 1852 so whilmen the guy who pushed for colonies otl is not in power yet so German confedation would have rejected would have no reason to push for colonies and no one in the members state ethier wanted it Prussia would have recognized it would be a vey bad move to get a colony there especially. The confederation was mostly a legastive body and would have most likely just given it to member state because they have enough troubles already and they would have not wanted this responsibility this is like giving the league of nations a colony. It also important to remember that this is 1852 where technology is less advanced and since Germany in general has very little experience with ocean navy would have to invest in this too and build that up. And the list goes on and on

Free internet points to whoever can guess what's about to happen in Africa. Here's a hint- the Drakians didn't do it deliberately.

The Drakians start launching expeditions into the African interior and expose the natives to European diseases. Or they start selling weapons to local tribes to provide labor and minerals.
