I began rereading TL-191 a few months ago - and thought to myself that there were not enough butterflies flying - and that from Camp Hill onwards.
For the time between Camp Hill and the Start of the Second Mexican War not much seemed to happpen outside the US and Mexico. Also the Years up to 1914 seem to have develloped as OTL.
I DISBELIEVE
There must be more change in the world due to an independent Confederacy.
Lets Start with the years between 1863 - 1872.
1864 - 2nd Mexican Empire is established by Napoleon. Maximilian of Habsburg becoming Emperor. This Empire continues to exist. Mexico bbecomes the target of much immigration from Austria-Hungary and France.
1867 - Russia approaches the US (again after a first try in 1859) but again the US is not interested.
1868 - The "Nine Years War" starts with cuba declaring independence from Spain. It ends (guess) nine years later. Cuban rebels are secretly supplied by the CSA. Britain and France mediate a peace settlement with Cuba becoming independent in 1877. A year later in 1878 Cuba asks to become a member state of the CSA, which is granted. Cuba gets ome special rights (like use of Spanish as primary language, officials have to speak English too). The CSA starts to establish a naval base at Guantanamo.
1870/71 - The last French Troops leave Mexico to fight in the French-German war. Mexico declares war on Prussia. The Montezuma Legion attempts to relieve Bazaine at Metz and almost breaks through. The Montezuma-March is said to be composed by John Philip Sousa, but he later denied to have written it. THE CSA sends a volunteer brigade (Brg. GEn JEB Stuart is in command) which arrives in Brest the day after the hostilities have ended. This Brigade was sent due to a secret alliance betweeen the CSA/France and the Mexican Empire - originally meant to secure French influence in the Americas. THe Brigade is used by the French government as "police Force" immediately after the War.
1871 - Virginia adopts a new constitution - the fact that West Virgina broke away is negated by the fact represtatives for the "lost counties" are appointed by the governor after each election (usually reflecting the overal outcome)
1871 - 1876 - Third Carlist war: Charles VII suceeds in claiming the Spanish Crown (the CSA volunteer brigade already in France is offered to Carlos VII by the CSA Government under the provision that Carlos VII will grant independence to Cuba after he ascends the spanish throne. This was simply using an opportunity and not a pre planned strategy - Cuban independence was one of the Prices paid by Carlos VII for secret and non so secret CSA support.
