    Sequel de Mayo (Cinco de Mayo, Vol. II)

    May he rest in the arms of the saints. Maximillian was a good man - sometimes one who was forced to make difficult choices, but who was fundamentally good and who thouht of his adopted people first and his own best interests second. Many nations could wish for a founding father who was only...

    That poor woman! Though I suspect that she will be making plenty of money on her memoirs someday and is probably going to be quite well cared for by European royals when this is all said and done. When he DOES finally die; I half wonder if there won't be rumors of her dancing on his grave.

    Truly, he died as he lived - high as a kite and thinking with his smaller head. On a related question - does Steffie have any children at all? One would kinda assume he has to have; whether they be recognized or no.

    How pulp fiction do we want to go here. Because I'm not imagining this scenerio where he flees to the Congo with loyalists and sets himself up as King of the region. There's an international response to try to dislodge him, of course - but after the CEW everyone is pretty exhausted and so...

    I do believe that our beloved Swedish King (Long May He Reign) has seemed to indicate that the Ottomans are going to sit the war out, alongside Britain and Russia.

    Honestly, you will see that genteel side of nativism- because its been there since the beginning and won't go away. But there's no reason to suspect that that the more violent and brutish sides wouldn't be prevalent as well. You'd have a lot of poor Anglo-whites returning from the war, only to...

    Sequel de Mayo (Cinco de Mayo, Vol. II)

    Honestly, considering that the immigration of Catholics to the US was larger than in OTL as well as the Liberal dominance of the US during that time - I'm actually somewhat surprised we didn't have a larger American Protective Association during the 1890s. Though I suppose this could be...

    Sequel de Mayo (Cinco de Mayo, Vol. II)

    I suspect they could, though probably not for a few years - perhaps in the mid-20s or early 30s. Arguably, Mexico exited the GAW in better shape than any of the Bloc Sud powers (Brazil got territorial concessions and 'won' but at a heavy cost and is suffering high political instability). Its...

    Sequel de Mayo (Cinco de Mayo, Vol. II)

    I'm calling it right now: That Mad Lad drunkenly shoots the German Prince who is currently in Vienna trying to help the situation with the Magyars (and who was convinced to go there by his sister, the Empress of France). Is it a duel? Perhaps a paranoid delusion? Maybe our good German Prince...

    Sequel de Mayo (Cinco de Mayo, Vol. II)

    This is a really good description of what's going on, I think. As someone who comes at things more from the Catholic side (both because I Am Catholic and also because Catholic History is what I'm ding me degree in) I too am a bit reluctant to speak on behalf of the Protestant worldviews, but...

    Sequel de Mayo (Cinco de Mayo, Vol. II)

    But I'm impatient!!!!! :D Nah, it was an idea that came to me. I figue they're both young scions of established political familes, both fought in the war (the only reason Phil didn't enlist in the marines in OTL was because his Father put as much pressure on him as he possibly could to...

    Sequel de Mayo (Cinco de Mayo, Vol. II)

    I for one cannot wait for the update wherein Bob LaFollette finally sees the writing on the wall and brings his machine organization over from the Liberal side to the Democrats. That is going to cause a whole helluva lot of political chaos in Wisconsin and though as detailed an article as the...

    Whoever the leader is who is in charge during the war. Haiti has a history of strong leaders declaring themselves kings or Emperors, and considering that Monarchism is stronger in Latin America and seen as more stable in Europe ... it kinda makes sense (especially since the Catholic Church in...

    They might. But you know what they WOULDN'T have a problem with? Said territory being transfered to Germany's co-belligerent, Haiti (which would work out well, as it would deny France the territory, and would strengthen a country which has close economic and diplomatic ties to both the United...

    I vote for Ireland Universalis - when Ireland usurps the mantle of the British Empire, unites the world, and reaches the stars! Ireland's colony of New Connacht in the Alpha Centari star system becomes the jewel in the Irish crown ;)

    Sequel de Mayo (Cinco de Mayo, Vol. II)

    For Europe, yes. Though I suspect that the United States had it even worse than OTL (having just gotten done fighting a multi-year war, with the infrastructure still screwed up by Root's demobilization efforts, and the lackluster economy is going to cause more economic migrations than after WWI...
