Talk:Timeline (The Many Nations of North America)

I like your time-line so far. Keep up the good work.

I have some comments and questions (I have not yet read all your pages so please forgive me if this stuff has already been addressed):

You have Veteran Fever claiming hundreds of lives but this mortality rate is far to low to cause the changes needed for your timeline. In the Civil War casualties in general were high and deaths due to disease were also high. For the Veterans Fever to have a political impact it needs to kill thousands or even tens of thousands of people.

I understand you are focusing on North America but I'm curious what happens with WW1. Presumably none of the NA countries get involved in any major way. So does the war end earlier than in OTL in some negotiated peace which is not so unfavorable to the Germans?

1929: The Great Depression. . . Would there still be a Great Depressions? Would there still be a Dust Bowl? Why? The Dust Bowl was a result of human disruption of the prairie which was a result of US Federal policies -- this is all different ATL. Perhaps the prairies get over cultivated for some other reasons.

"1930: Final Civil War. President Robinson of the CSA declares war on the United States" At this time the US, Texas, and the CSA are separate countries, so why is this conflict called a Civil War? Because Arkansas is annexed by Texas? Overall I've become confused here. Is Virginia succeeding from the US or from the CSA. If Virginia was still part of the US, would West Virginia ever have been created (in OTL it comes into being right after the time you have the First Civil War ending).

"1931: California is the first US state to secede. ". . . huh? I thought that all of the southern states had already left the US, so how can California be the first?

"1963: A pro-New York assassin kills King John I of New England. Robert Kennedy is crowned Robert I." I don't know what the laws are in the Kingdom of New England, but why wouldn't Prince Robert sort of run the show for Queen Jacqueline Kennedy until John Junior comes of age? It might also become important who Queen Jacqueline marries after the assassination. You indicate that there is a Kennedy-Rockefeller alliance. Is there an eligible Rockefeller for the Queen?

Agin: Fun stuff, keep it up.--AirshipArmada 19:27, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
