Arthur Freiherr Arz von Straussenburg, one of the better A-H commanders during the OTL war,
Did Sam Houston and Samuel Colt die as OTL, during the early days of the US Civil War?
OH!
What about Dan Wesson and Horace Smith of Smith & Wesson?
How about some love for my favorite German, Kurt von Schleicher.
I am a bit curious about Sir Wilfrid Laurier.
All good names that I will hopefully get to in the near future.

Thanks for the maps.
A question for the board, which of the two maps above do people think is the most accurate? I want to get a firm foundation to base all future maps for the TL off of. Thanks.
I'm pretty sure the Global version is more accurate. It is definitely the updated one, it doesn't skip most of the Pacific islands, Hawaii is where it actually is, and it shows relationships between states more accurately (ie. Sweden/Norway being in personal union, iirc). I know sizes of islands is MUCH more accurate. I'd go with that one.
I agree. Could you point me towards a 1866 map of this version please. Thanks.
Ooh. Wonder if Brazil might get pulled into this.

Fairly unlikely, iOTL, I don't think that Brazil ever got into a war against a nation which had (or ever had) a Pacific coastline. (I have no idea if Brazil declared war on Japan in WWII or not, I know it did against Germany and Italy)
Secret Brazilian law not to get involved in the Pacific?Fairly unlikely, iOTL, I don't think that Brazil ever got into a war against a nation which had (or ever had) a Pacific coastline. (I have no idea if Brazil declared war on Japan in WWII or not, I know it did against Germany and Italy)
