Hello everyone. I'm about to start my first tl, but i thought i'd mine some resources first. I was hoping anyone with knowledge about this era could give me some pointers. I'm not looking so much at what is happening at in America, but what are the larger trends happening worldwide? What things are beginning to come to a head? I'm not looking for long detailed explanations either, but rather just things like "Theres about to be a revolution in this country" or "this and this empire still exist in Africa". Im especially curious about Europe, i just don't know enough to look through the wideangle lens. Any help or recommendations would be appreciated. Also, any inventions that were possible at the time but didn't happen for decades would be great. Thanks everyone.


PS: the POD is right after the conclusion of the ACW. The tentative title is "The Age of Lincoln", and its going to go something like this.
