1940/46 War breaks out in Europe. Like most of the North American nations Texas declares neutrality and insists that free-trade not be restricted. France however declares unrestricted submarine warfare against the British Commonwealth and proceeds to attack and sink all shipping directed at supplying England directly. Texas began organizing and offering protection for convoys of shipping from Dixie, Mexico, and other South American nations in late 1941 using RTN ships as escorts serving any side in the overall war. In a famous incident in February 1942 the French submarine raiding cruiser Sorcouf surfaced and engaged what she thought was an England bound convoy under Texan protection. In fact she was shelling a convoy bound for France and was engaged and sunk by the Destroyer RTNS Thompson Lykes who eventually rammed and sank the ship as she tried to disengage and submerge. There were no survivors and the Lykes limped back to its homeport of Galveston for repairs.

Texas scrupulously offered no support for any side during the war but did insist on enforcing a "non-aggression" zone in the Gulf of Mexico and following it up with active and deadly prosecution of violators. In one incident HMS Ark Royal was heading towards Tampa by for repairs when several French torpedo planes appeared from New Orleans. The Aviation Cruiser RTNS Houston warned the approaching aircraft off and warned the Ark Royal that any aircraft launch would be considered a hostile act. Despite the warnings the French torpedo planes set up for an attack run at which point the Houston placed itself between the incoming aircraft and the Ark Royal and engaged with its aircraft and cannon. All but two of the attacking planes were destroyed before they could drop their torpedoes. However the two that managed to drop were aimed directly at the barely maneuvering Ark Royal. Without hesitation the Houston turned broadside to the incoming torpedoes and took both hits herself with one torpedo causing major damage to her bow and the other failing to explode.

Refusing help from the Ark Royal the Houston effected what repairs she could while finishing her escort duties and then proceeded slowly back to Corpus Christie for repairs. Meanwhile the Texas government demanded an apology, reparations, and criminal charges against those who had ordered the attack. The French government refused on all points, citing the "needs of war" and declaring they did not recognize the Texan 'non-aggression' zone as valid or enforceable. A little over 24 hours later when the Texas Air Milita. Air Rangers, and Republic of Texas Navy assault withdrew from New Orleans leaving several French Navy ships burning, the Battleship Richelieu sunk in the harbor, and two French Foreign Legion Air Bases heavily damaged Texas diplomats delivered the message to the government in Paris saying "Y'all might want to reconsider your position" and walking out.

The end of the war in late 1946 actually was bad news for Texas as they had geared up for major production in all areas and the sudden cessation of hostilities caught them like most others by surprise with their economy fully on a war footing they were ill prepared for peace.

1941: Texas stays largely out of the global conflict, concentrating on then-neutral Mexico and taking over Sonora and Chihuahua giving it ports on both the Caribbean and Pacific. Japan takes over Hawaii, the Philippines, the Dutch East Indies, Thailand, French Indochina, and by war's end has secured much of China. Japan is careful *not* to declare war on the UK or Australia, instead opting to focus on synthetic fuels and providing the German scientific community a safe place to further develop technologies (which they steal as a form of 'protection money').

1941-1948- Sightings of Unknown Aeronautical Craft-'Travellers' are sighted in Greenland, Argentina, South Atlantic near Antarctica, Bavarian Alps, Madagascar and by high altitude experimental craft.

1944: California forces seize control of Baja California and claiming the Gulf of California, fueling anger and resentment throughout Latin America,...

1945: By the end of this ATL WWII, Dixie absorbs Appalachia and the Outer Banks Protectorate while the Empire State absorbs the Atlantic Union and at the end of the war the Maritime Provinces (the latter only because of a secret deal with Dixie to recognize its new borders and the UK to recognize Ontarian borders). Cascadia/Pacifica absorbs most of the Disputed Western Territories with Lakota becoming a 'special status area' with a *lot* of autonomy but as a part of that nation. Arixo and the Navajo State are split at the OTL division of Arizona (going to Hollywood along with western Nevada) and New Mexico (going to the Republic of Texas, who also grabs southeastern Colorado and southernmost Kansas). Deseret takes southern Idaho, southwestern Wyoming, eastern Nevada, and western Colorado while the People's Collective grabs eastern Wyoming and eastern Colorado, Denver becomes a 'free city' and Western place to negotiate peace settlements, mingle with other ambassadors, and spy on everyone. This is also to become the banking center of North America because its territory is too small to do much else and the revenues are enough to make the city among the richest in the world. French Louisiana is made to join Dixie as well, provoking the wrath of the Republic of Texas who wanted to have New Orleans and the tolls on the river for themselves. Texas does nothing about this, however, as they are dependent on the oil trade for their prosperity. They also sell to both sides while buying/trading tech with both sides, their Texas Instruments Model 105 jet (Avro C105 analog) is arguably among the most advanced jets in the world when it debuts....

1946: Mexican candidate Jesus A. Castro is elected President, backed by Nicolas Carrasco and Benito Juarez, calling for a stronger military,....

1947-Post-war boom in aero-naval piracy as war surplus ships/vehicles/afv's etc. swamp the worldwide market. Recovering countries selling them off to help pay for a post-war rebuild(no Marshall Plan). Aerocraft still mostly prop as jets are maintenance intensive and performance reliability shaky for decades. Some models are produced in a jet or a prop version for customer choice.(e.g., the Mig-15 and the F-86 could have prop/turbo-prop versions. I've seen model kitbashes of this).

No Longer At Ease (Part II), 1950-1963

1950s -Oil boom as extraction tech advances. Cheap fuel for decades, slows down Reactor development. No Test-Ban Treaties so anyone that can cobble together a 40 kiloton nuke is spreading fallout throughout the world. A Laetrile Anti-Rad Vaccine is developed to counter this(as well as Espionage/Sabotage, Raids and finally, treaties and multi-national cooperation against nuclear terrorism). There is a side effect not noticed until after 2000: 'X'-style stable mutations, AKA a 'Second Man' DNA jump in evolution. They stay in hiding so far... The various Porn Prohibition Acts begin a racketeering response harking back to the twenties and thirties.

Reliance on rail, air and maritime transportation, true Interstates are never developed as they are today. In the late eighties 'Walker' and 'Hover' type land propulsion gets past the prototype stage. Hovercraft get quieter and Walkers more stabl and powerful-the Public starts to notice.
