I don't know about that. Smith's Civil Rights Initiative doesn't pass until 1929. Missouri was hardly a racially progressive state in the early 1900s, so why would they be ahead of the national curve?
Also, remember Smith's Civil Rights Initiative isn't all that big of a deal -- it's not until President Quentin Roosevelt signs the Civil Rights and Voting Act in 1956 that we reach the level of rights that blacks enjoyed in OTL 1968.

OK, Glen, I'm game. 
From my memory, this is what we have for 1900-1960 (after 1960, the whole world is sketchy). I'll do A's first...
Afghanistan is pretty much absent, but then again, not much happened there in OTL.
The Caucasian A's are represented a bit in their involvement in the Greek-Ottoman and Georgian-Russian intrigues. I like to think they're doing better, esp. since the Armenian Genocide seems to be much smaller-scale in XXth.
Albania, I can't recall anything.
Algeria has a great TL, but it drops off suddenly when the British take over.
Argentina, I can't recall anything.
Australia could really use sketches of its most famous OTL citizens' parallels.
Austria is very well covered.
The rest are minor places.

Points made. I say we can accept Tom's events as written, given the stipulation that things may be more advanced in other states.

Oh, contraire....Afghanistan is actually WIPED OFF THE MAP!
Happened while I was AWOL apparently. The Russians invaded and 'used up' their stock of WMD there. Its now a radioactive, poisoned part of the Reunited Tsardom of Russia.Yes, you're probably right, but what happened to Armenian and Azerbaijan areas after the Global War?
Divvied up between Austria and Italy, then Italy falls apart in the Global War, and I think Austria takes the rest IIRC.
Need someone to give us a skeleton of Algeria's fate after the British, then.
The South American wars I think was the last bit on Argentina. Definitely need to sketch out South America for the mid and late 20th century.
Yes. We really need to draft some Aussies to help with that.....
Indeed. Could use a little more finishing in the late 20th century.
But we need to know their fate, if even it is to say, "See nation X."
September 4th, 1964- A captured American "advisor" is brought to Britain and show as proof that the US was involved. The US denies knowledge of his activities.
December 14th, 1964- A Russian advisor is caught, he will not say which country he is from, it is becoming more obivous that the two Russian countries are involved.

Sorry! Involved in UIE war. Also, how far are the Roosevelts still around, 50s, 60s so far? Is it OK to create a 2 new baseball teams, and have a Roosevelt play on one?
The history of baseball expansion and relocation is here:

2 new baseball teams could be added, but the '60s would be way too early. Maybe '80s or '90s.

Let's get this discussion rolling again, so we can go through it and sketch out the political borders of the world in 2000....
Abkazia would be part of Georgia, independent since the Koba's martyrdom.
We really should flesh out the history of Georgia a bit more in the XXth century.

Darn, I had a huge post written up and my computer ate it. I don't have time to retype it, so I'll just post this map of OTL Woodrow Wilson's plan for Armenia.

Sorry Tom, but unless you were only referring to Armenia, I think you're going to need to rewrite that huge post.
