Okay, so I'm interested in creating sort of a steampunk TL dominated by the German Empire, Great Britain, and the United States. Some major points would be for airplanes to not become very developed, for trains to be the major form of ground transportation with the automobile being more of a novelty in all but the largest cities, and with airships being common for continent to continent travel.
My thinking would be for around the turn of the century having a war break out between France and Germany, with England not interfering. Then later on, a smaller war between Germany/Austria and Russia.
This idea is still kind of on the back burner as I'm still working on finishing the airship TL that I've got going, but it's my next project.
Any thoughts?
