The Union Forever: A TL

Though MacGregor said in his update that the Dominion of Ireland consisted of "Catholic Areas", So we might see a Ireland like this:

Now thats more like it. I was just asking for some small changes.
 
Wouldn't Italy have gotten Istria? It seems odd that Croatia and Slovenia would recieve them, when Italy contributed far more to the war effort, and a good deal of Istria was Italian populated?

Also, because East Thrace is closer to Bulgaria, and Bulgaria hasn't gotten much "compensation" for its war efforts, I could see it going to them.

Also, shouldn't there be more autonomous groups in Russia?

Gotta say, I love that Ireland still gets partitioned with a POD in the 1860's.

Right you are, I went back a gave Italy Istria. I dind't even realize that in OTL Italy controled Istria until after our WW1.

I think I am going to keep East Thrace part of Greece because, and correct me if i am wrong, east thrace's population is mostly greek. Bulgaria's compensation for its part in the great war is mostly its indepednece.

As far as autonomous groups in Russia and because this map depicts 1950 I am only showing the kingdom of (Congress) Poland and the Grand Principality of Finland. Am I forgetting something?

Good call on Ireland. I used pearsonwright's suggestion.


What do y'all think of the map now. Am I leaving anything out?

Figuring out the Ethnic Composition of the Balkan's is a daunting task, as almost every map is biased to favor one country or another.

This one looks right to me, but it might be biased.

In any event, perhaps we could have a different Thrace? Maybe Bulgaria could get the Midia-Enos Line like it did in the First Balkan War?
Or, Greece could nab a bit of Anatolia and Bulgaria gets East Thrace.

Congress Poland had its autonomy revoked in 1867 (I believe), so if that's the case, It wouldn't be shown.
 
Shouldn't Montenegro be indepent?

What was ethnic situation in Bosnia-Herzegovina early 20th century? Now in Serbia might be quiet large Croatian minority. I think that Bosnia could divide between Croatia and Serbia.

Large islands on coast of Estonia hardly belong for Finland. Or missed I something?

And I think that on future Galicia could be part of Poland.

Good question regarding Montenegro. Montenegro was an independent state that sided with the Coaltion in the Great War. As far as I can tell Nicholas I was prince as in OTL. Nicholas I was a supported of unification with Serbia as in OTL however that could be butterflied away. I could see it going either way. What do y'all think? Should Montenegro be independent?

No sure on where the Croats were located in Bosnia before the great war. Does anybody want to suggest an alternate way to draw the Croation-Serbian border?

My mistake on the islands.

How about this? Lets say Turkey only gets to keep the area immediately surrounding Istanbul after their defeat in the Great War?


Thanks again to everyone for helping with this map. I know it can be tedious but I think its best to get these details straight now before we progress further. Keep the suggestions coming.

I found this map:

Well, seemingly Bosnia-Hertzegovina was then very strongly Serbian. Maybe there not be anything reason changes borders.
