Slovenski Kri - My TL/HoI2 Mod

I am working on a HoI2 mod called Slovenski Kri, meaning "Slavic Blood" in Slovenian. The point of divergence is less of a point of divergence than in other things. I young Slovenian man named Vladimir Brikarjik writes a series of books about South Slavic nationalism and "Social Capitalism."

In 1896 he gets arrested, but by that time his Unionist Party has a large amount of members. The prison he's kept in, in Dubrovnik, gets assaulted by an angry mob. The prisoners and the others take weapons and drive AH forces out of the city.

In the next few years, basically, Austria-Hungary's ass gets kicked. Romania, Greece, Serbia, and Bulgaria aid the rebels. Somehow, not sure how though, Serbia and Bulgaria get absorbed into the Yugoslav Union. Perhaps they have democratic coups.

I'll post a picture, but I'm relying on you guys to hammer it out a little bit. I'm planning to make a few changes. A-H is still around, but they don't own the South Slavic lands anymore. The mod starts in 1936.

The point of divergence on a greater scale is no world war I, or perhaps a different world war I. Just like the mod Kaiserreich, I'd like to have multiple alternate history PODs that have only slight things to do with the main POD. I'll go ingame and take an ss.

Europe in 1936

I'd like to think of some things that would happen in between 1900 and 1936.

First few nitpicks.

it should be "slovenska, not Slovenski"
Vladimir Brikarjik dosn't sound Slovenian.

Second, bigger issues.

If mob storms AH prison they wouldn't be able to kick AH forces out of city let alone hold it. I don't know exactly what aH policy regarding prisoners was but Gavrilo Princip was imprisoned in Bohemia. So Slovenian would likely be improsonet not in his native or close-to-native lands.

you need some work on why and how others help rebels and how that is enough to tear away southern slavs.
 
I used a crappy translation program, and Brikarjik is just a more south slavic version of my last name, Brikiin. Perhaps you can suggest a south slavic version of the name Morgan Brikiin.

As for that other stuff, do you have any suggestions as to how the south slavic revolt happens?
 
Going by your map:
Why does Greece own Southern Italy and Sicily?
Why is there a Baltic Republic?

And you might want to go easy on the green. It's very confusing, especially in the Balkan and on the Ottoman-Russian border.
 
The YU and Greece kicked Italy's arse.

As for the Baltic Republic, somehow it got independence during the failed Russian Revolution. I plan on having some events where Ukraine, Belarus, Poland, and a "Transcaucasian Federation" mess with Russia. In the original plan, they get independence during the 36 years in between the POD and the setting, but I don't know how to write .inc files with skill.
 
... somehow it got independence during the failed Russian Revolution....


But why though? On this site even more than on Paradox you are going to have to provide reasons for why it happened. If there was no WWI, there wouldn't have been a Russian Revolution at that time. So why did it get independent, and how come the Germans didn't take advantage of the revolution at all?
 
I'm not too good on history before world war II. So the russian revolution was linked to world war I? Never knew that. You're helping in a way, because there's a bunch of stuff I don't know.

So, no World War I, no Russian Revolution. What other world events would be caused by World War I that wouldn't happen without WWI? Oh rcduggen I didn't know you were on this forum, lol.

hmmm, hard to say really. I'm not aware of direct version but Marjan sounds similar and is quite common name. As for last name just drop one "i", Brikin. Don't know anybody by that name but has right sound to it

As for that other stuff, do you have any suggestions as to how the south slavic revolt happens?

that's not the problem. The trick is making it succeed and have AH recognise new situation.
 
New idea:

The political and social ideas of Marjan Brikin (new name) spread further than the South Slavs. Youth of most of the races with little say in the Austro-Hungarian government (Romanians, Yugoslavs, Czeks, Slovaks, Poles, Italians) are inspired by his ideas.

When Brikin publishes the book "Slovenska Kri," the government starts to see Brikin as a threat. In 1897, he is arrested, and is sent to a prison in Bohemia or something. Generally this new idea points to the original map, with broken up Austria-Hungary. Help me hammer out the finer details, because I'm not too knowledgable about what everything was like in turn of the century Europe.

Generally Austria-Hungary might get balkanized. Yet what to do about Germany and Italy?

Oh, maybe they are assisted by the Black Hand or Mlada Bosna locally, or other Slavic Nationalist groups.

I hope this double post doesn't have any negative connotations, but here's a new idea:

Screw the Austria-Hungary thing. Marjan Brikin moves to Serbia, and his "Unionist" group, along with the Black Hand and other nationalist groups, has a coup in Serbia in 1897. When Greece and the Ottomans go to war in 1897 (do they? They're events in the HoI2 mod 1914), the "Yugoslav Union" gets involved, and liberate Albania and whatnot. Bulgaria gets involved too, and takes Thrace.

The YU and Bulgaria begin to squabble after the war, in which the three were rather friendly. The YU takes over Bulgaria after a war between the two. Greece has western Anatolia. Oh, whoops, looks like the Black Hand was founded in 1911. Maybe the members in OTL are members of the Unionist movement in this TL.

Anyways, all is peaceful until 1936 when the mod takes place. The Yugoslav Union, Greece, Romania, and Montenegro form the Belgrade Pact, in mutual defense in the event of the Central Powers being pissed off. I like this idea.
