Description the 1942 map for my TL-191.1 fix-up or whatever, at the peak of the Allied Powers' invasion--some things are swapped from Turtledove:
  • here it's the Quebecois who became the main anti-US rebels, not the Anglo-Canadians: QC was used as the occupying power as in Turt but with Parti Quebecois-style ethnonationalism
    • the young  Arvo Halberg led the fight to liberate the Great Lakes at the cost of his own life, and he has over a hundred statues by the 50s
    • Armenia and the Belgian liberators in Ruanda are also teaching "equality feels like revenge to the privileged oppressor"
  • the Brits had seen the potential of the exiled Sioux as a "martial race " during the Defence of Winnipeg
  • the Rebs made a brilliant sneak attack on San Diego and LA's aeroplane facilities July 4, 1941
  • the remaining, non-Danite Mormons become the most decorated unit in US or CS military history
  • Indiana will always bear the stain of the "Redshirt " collaborationists, against the "heroic states" of Ohio and Pennsylvania
  • Kanawha (WV) is getting the Come and See treatment, bushwhacker squads screaming "Sic Semper Tyrannis!" and "Virginia Gloria! " with each crick and holler burned down
  • Central America's fighting is between United Fruit (New Orleans), Standard Fruit (New Orleans), and Boston Fruit /Dole/Domino-backed caudillos; after the US-CS impasse of the 1900s there's TWO Canals by GW1
  • the GIUK Gap has even worse casualties than when the RN adopted U-boat tactics off the US East Coast
  • most Blue Shirts joined the Silver, but Ireland has TWO resistance movements (respectively under Michael Collins and Liam Lynch)
  • Holland's embiggened ; the Actionists don't get past Heilbronn, and Kolmar and Mühlhausen resisted street-by-street after the Siegfried Line fell
  • Poland wants Lwów as well as Poznań, Cieszyn, and Gdańsk
  • Black Hundredist "liberators" are given the traditional three days' loot and plunder, until the Imperial Guard and Sturmoviks sweep them out of places like Babi Yar or Lviv (largely since the "revenge" pogroms would LOOK bad if word got out)
  • North Italy's under Togliatti and Gramsci vs. Mussolini and Balbo in the South; and everyone's grabbing for the Austrian-occupied bits
  • after 1948 Liberia's expanded to include all its neighbors for the League of Nations' "West African Refugee Zone," backed by a guilty Berlin, which even says the Krahn are just outsiders the damn Limeys imported so you can do whatever you want with 'em
  • Berlin's semi-directly funding people-bombers in India, which will definitely not literally explode in everybody's faces after a generation of betrayals and disappointments later
  • Hunza and Tibetan tribesmen have little experience with warfare--meaning that they became terrifying blood-drinking, nose-cutting berserkers against even their own trainers
  • East Asia's cursed with Wang Jingwei, Mao Zemin, and Nobosuke Kishi
