The Futurist Manifesto: An Alternate Great War & Beyond

Oh, I almost forgot.

BUMP.

If it isn't too much asking, Electric Monk, how's the next post coming?

Also,how'll the deeper integration of Canada in the huge British Empire affect the US-Canadian relations and immigration to Canada?

Ah yes. Because I am an idiot I failed to mention in this timeline my computer went kurfluee. So when I have the money to fix it my days off are going to be dumped into updating this and my pop culture timeline (read it!) aside from girlfriend time.

As for my home and native land of Canada (which is awesome, but feel free to to tell me of political campaign firms that'll hire Canadians because starting my own is taking forever) immigration there has increased empire flavour. Note that "free movement" was part of the (white) Empire as a racist move which I mentioned a while ago to prevent the "other" parts of the Empire joining in in the short term. Travel is a huge part of the future timeline.

As for American relationships they are not wild about it but the OTL de facto Canadians=British ideas are winning. Furthermore the new growth in eastern Canadian ports (hi Halifax) is having decent knock-on effects in New England. As long as the USA avoids war it's viewed ok. A little realpolitik "darn Brits" but not much.
 
Just got finished reading through the timeline. You completely threw me a loop when the Germany, France, and friends decided to make peace and team up to take on the combined British Empire. Probably one of the greater things I've seen on some TL's here.
 
Just finished reading this and it was a great twist when Europe teamed up against Britian. To be honest though, I don't quite get their reasons for wanting to go to war with Britain.

I can't see absolute victory for any side. I suppose the navy will play a much greater role than in OTL?

Will Africa be the area where most of the land battles are fought? (At least in the beginning).
What about Japan, how are they reacting? Are they allied with the British?
Oh, its going to be incredibly exciting.:D

Bumping this to know if your computer got fixed. Luckily this TL is really good and detailed so waiting is ok, especially because future updates involving the British Federal-esque Empire will be very interesting.

Having (very) recently spoken with Electric Monk on this very subject, I can unfortunately say that his computer was deemed beyond repair and now he's looking for a new one - which is why he's been posting so infrequently on the board in general. If anyone knows of a good deal for one, I'm sure he'd appreciate if you would send it his way :)
 
Yep. (Good) computers are expensive and I am poor. No worries though I have plans for this timeline.

The future British Empire is very interesting :).
 
Just tripped over this time line, and have read it through. Most excellent read so far.

Does anybody know what happened to Electric Monk, and if we might get more updates?
 
It is a pity the author's computer broke, this was really cool, and it would have been awesome to see it continue to the triumphant conclusion of the war in burning London.
