The absolutely worst and most unbeleavable way you could have the US lose is in Canada and you went there. Im writing this story off as a loss and you as an author.
I don't generally respond to stuff or post in threads but you looked a little lonely. I have been reading this and imo its been pretty good so far. Do you know if the US is going to have much in the way of over seas territory including Hawaii? Will the British be staying on Vancouver Island...
The French undermined the US during the Treaty negotiations by negotiating separately with the English where the French asked for Gibraltar to be ceded to the Spanish, amongst other things that were talked about. This showed the British they might be able to dictate terms...
I never said it'd have a happy ending for the US, you asked why Yucatan would do it and I simply responded that they really had tried to do just that historically.
RoY did IOTL because of natives trying to overrun them. RoY was desperate for help and everyone said bugger off so they offered the US annexation but Polk's bill was defeated in the senate. They didn't want to deal with that with the war with Mexico. If the war with Mexico was settled quicker...
Wow, they just forced some pretty harsh sanctions on the League nations and they are going to strip the military far past what we really should have? Do they really think those league nations will sit by and do nothing while the US dissolves most of it's military? Not smart.
I guess we should...
Well, that was quick. If the allies, or a large portion of them are busy squabbling or busy trying to stop the squabblers that leaves less attention on the former (still?) enemies. I wonder if they can/will take advantage of that?
Dang, China got messed up pretty badly people-wise at the least.
So how soon do we hear tell of the League nations breaking the treaty and raising way more troops and ships then they are allowed to by the treaty? I don't see any way that the League Nations abide by it for too long if at all...
Something else I just noticed, Did you intentionally not give any of the confiscated ships to the US?
Either way they definitely need to increase naval spending to help with all of the new Island territories, Pacific and Caribbean both. Maybe the 4th fleet that is eventually formed in OTL will...
That is a fine POD, but you cannot just assume people will understand. As they say the devil is in the details. What happens in ATLs is in many cases less important then how and why those things happen.
I'm talking about getting the railroad done in so short a time. It's too far beyond what happened in OTL that you have to have some kind of reason for how it could even be done in the next decade let alone a few months. I'm not sure the latter is even possible. That's not even mentioning why...
