First time poste here.
I'm writing alternate history fiction. For my 3rd book, I need WWI to keep going past 1918, as in a long stalemate.
I'm not asking to do research for me, but the war is only a backdrop in this story, so I'd like opinions of people with more knowledge than me.
What I'm going for.
- The US will invade Mexico, or do important enough manoeuvres that Carranza thinks they are being invaded. A truce could then be declared between Villa, Zappata and Carranza factions. OR there was already an accord and Wilson sending 12 000 troops to capture Villa forces Carranza to declare war.
The point is...
I need Carranza to go through with his promise to destroy oil field in Veracruz. England getting 75% of their oil from there, they suffer from an important shortage, important enough that they can no longer maintain the blockade, which makes Germany in a more durable position.
So the war keeps going.
I accept all constructive criticism.
Thank you.
