The Union Forever: A TL
- Thread starter Mac Gregor
- Start date
Well, it was discovered IOTL in 1901 by Alois Alzheimer with his colleague Emil Kraepelin. Perhaps it's after him that the disease is named here?
February, 1856. Since the POD occurs during the American Civil War, it should be doable for him to still be in the neurological medicine field like OTL.
So what's Canada like in TTL? I know it has dominion status now, but how much does it differ from OTL in terms of population, politics?
Two questions:
1. Will this timeline continue to the present day?
2. What would you say the technology level is ITTL?

I'm going to guess the Balkans?
Their loss.
Makes sense. How prevalent are antibiotics? I can't remember if you mentioned penicillin or its ATL equivalent yet.
Antibiotics are basically as common as in OTl and yes, penicillin exists as well. As previously stated Parkinson's disease is still Parkinson's due to it occuring before the POD. Alzheimer's is known as Severin's disease after the French neuropathologist , Gustave Augustine Severin, who first diagnosed it in the years following the Great War.
On Canada
Canada at this time is not that radically different than in OTL. It is a little closer to Britain and has a slightly higher population due to a shorter Great War and the lack of a Second World War. Politically Canadian politics continues to be dominated by the center-right and center-left Conservative and Liberal parties but in recent years others such as Labor and the Technocratic party have been gaining ground.

Good questions.
1. Yes, I currently plan to continue this TL well into the 21st Century.
2. Roughly similar. The lack of a second world war retarded some technologies, such as nuclear, but speed helped some others along such as television.
I hope this means an update coming soon.
Hopefully soon. Work has been crazy and my weekends have been full. Cheers!
Well the technocratic party is new
though thus far that is hasn't begun slipping into the US sphere of influence is also relatively knew as by this point IOTL Britain was no longer a Great Power and Canada was feeling around for some seperation from the Motherland.Personally the biggest difference ITTL I would see is that there is likely some very large anti-French sentiment extending from the Great War and coupled with traditional animosity amongst French and English settlers has probably given the Quebeqous a raw deal here.
