Well that is indeed a VERY wild restructuring of Europe!
I can see why the idea was not going to fly among European politicians though.
the problem with european federalism is that eventually you run out of federalism
Syncretic Iroquois new religious movement from the late 18th century
The notion was that, like in "Look to the West", the era of world wars began a lot earlier with respect to the invention of nuclear weapons. Only WWIV involved a _lot_ of nukes.
I'm sure that some descendants of this war found their way a bit west to the Toledo War!
I wrote a map series at someones request from this thread about the French Revolution having the same impact as the Russian Revolution. My answer is a light-hearted scenario where a Communist like ideology takes over France after the revolution and it forms a USSR expy and a cold war starts between France and Britain. Let me know what you think! I'd appreciate any feedback.
1789: American Revolution ended with negotiations by the late 1770's. Frederich II died a year earlier than OTL and his successor was unable to prevent Austria from exchanging some of the Austrian Netherlands for Bavaria. This alarms the French nobility and undermines the monarchy.
1803: The French Revolution abolishes the monarchy and turns France into a republic. The Bourbons escaped and the threat of their return and further radicalizes the revolution. Robespierre's regime lasted until 1801 until he mysteriously died and the Directory replaced him. During Robespierre's tenure, the French overran Spain and met greater success in Germany. But the Directory signs the Treaty of Amiens with Britain, which restores the Bourbons in Spain, and French forces leaves the Dutch Republic and southern Italy. This controversial treaty undermines the Directory and contributed to Napoleon's rise to power in 1808.
1814: War between Britain vs. Russia and Denmark broke out in 1811 over trade with the French. Napoleon decided to use this conflict to secure the rest of Europe against Prussia and Austria. To strike quickly, Napoleon didn't prepare his army as much as he'd like and depended on his generalship to secure victory against Prussia. Britain and Russia are alarmed by Napoleon's sudden aggression and settle matters to contend with the threat. Lazare Hoche lived far longer than OTL and was radicalized during his time in Bavaria and forming a connection with François-Noël Babeuf, when the war started turning against Napoleon, Hoche seized Paris and declared France to be an "Illuminated Republic" following Babeuf's Égalitarism (alt communism) ideology. Hoche defeated a multinational force at Waterloo which secured the borders of the Illuminated French Republic (République Française Illuminée). The peace leaves Russia a free hand in Poland and Germany is redrawn according to its design.
1830: Revolutions break out across Europe as many states are unable to deal with a global economic recession. France takes advantage of the situation while Russia acts as a bulwark of conservatism. Meanwhile, the Ottoman's are overwhelmed by a rising Egypt to the south, and Albanians in the Balkans.
1845: With the extinction of the Ottoman dynasty, Russia decides to settle the eastern question by seizing control of the Balkans and Bosporus Strait. This power grab flies in the face of Russia's supposed commitment to the status quo and alarms London and Paris. A large war broke out over Europe which resulted in total Russian defeat after the British deployed the first Chlorine Bombs. The Albanian Sultanate took over the former Ottoman lands while Austria reformed its government to a more federal structure in response to the loss of Italy. Although on the victorious side, Britain finds itself in a precarious situation as France and its puppet states form the Union of Illuminated Republics (Union des Républiques Illuminées) with the goal of uniting the world under Égalitarism. A Silent War breaks out between the British Empire and the UIR.
1891: The Silent War ends with the collapse of the UIR. Its economy was weakened due to decades of corruption and mismanagement on top of costly colonialist wars in Africa against indigenous states backed by Anglo arms. In a last attempt to regain control of the situation, the UIR went to war against Austria only for the Austrians to outsmart the Égalitarist forces through clever tactics and diplomacy. As the war dragged on, a faction of the UIR military attempted a coup against Paris. This resulted in the dissolution of the UIR as the old regime had lost all legitimacy and the new power in Paris sought to build a British-inspired Marketist (captialist) economy. Remnants of the forces loyal to the UIR hold out in Algiers as they debate how to proceed from here. Meanwhile, German nationalists gained power in Austria during the war and dissolved the federation with the Danubian states in favor of uniting the now-free German states.

What with the German language and the capital in Vienna, I just can't figure out who made this map.
The author is apparently P.A.M.
As for who that is, here is a quote from the description under the image in the link:
Could you show this Maryland to us or would it be to difficult for you to present? >.>
I mean, it could be northern lights, this time of the year, situated specifically within his kitchen.
It's finally done! I started working on this project in May, and since then, it's grown a lot. The map is now unrecognizable to someone at the start; very few countries from the early parts of the scenario still survive. But now the easily-accessible 2K-BAM map is done, and it's truly a labor of love. I plan to turn this into a Munroist annotated map, but I'll probably make some other geopolitical maps out of this first. Now it's time for your questions! Ask them here, or here for an in-universe perspective. I'm glad I finished this map. Now I truly have a TL.
(Clarification: outlines on countries indicate their overlord. Also, there might be a few duplicated colors; I think Novgorod, Holy Europe, and Northern Qing have similar colors. Of those three, only the HEE has puppets and overseas territory. And one last thing: the Romanian capital is in Cluj, not Bucharest.)

What's up with the subdivision borders in the country of east central China?
It's SaB inspired. The geometric borders in that Free China didn't last long, but this state is unitary so it doesn't really matter.What's up with the subdivision borders in the country of east central China?
