Couple of Things....
1. I'm about to start making individual state pages for Napoleon's World (for US states) and my love affair with fictional states/cities/so on is about to start in earnest. When I'm making Kahokia, based on your current residence in Manitoba, what would you suggest I do to make it more plausible/fictional, in terms of Napoleon's World? Winnipeg is obviously the capital/largest city, but would the intricacies of the TL have any effects on the state itself that you can foresee?

2. I'm doing a poll again to see who should win the May 1, 2011 English general election. The candidates are Hugh Grant of the Whig Party and Jack Davenport of Labour. Obviously, in OTL Hugh Grant is everybody's favorite stuttering, hopelessly romantic Englishman, and Jack Davenport was Commodore Norrington in the Pirates of the Caribbean series.

3. You mentioned you wanted me to let you know when I had something of the Napoleon's World novel series? I've started two minor projects (I have many other more developed writing projects ongoing) that I could email you if you wanted to take a peek. Neither is particularly long, no more than about ten pages on MS Word so far.

4. Any new ideas for NW? :D

CYOAH New PoD
I have an idea about being a high-ranking officer in WWII. Can I make such a CYOAH? Wattman 17:56, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

FTBW Russia addition
Hi. I went through your French Trafalgar TL and I think its really good, and plausible at the same time. I really like it. I wonder if you need some help with the Russia page, seing as its not very good. Since I'm a Russian I could help you with it.

Responsibilities to the TSPTF
Don't feel too bad, I've had a lot on my plate as well and didn't find out Mitro had put me in charge till like 2 weeks after his resignation. Got Dragon Age 2 and got sucked into that for 2 weeks only to have the girlfriend get real sick and had to take care of her and the kid as well as working 10 hours a day. Just keep up with doing what you can for now, and when you feel you're up to it you can get back in the stride.Oerwinde 07:56, May 10, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. BTW what exactly are the boundaries, imean could you give me some general ideas or a sort of framework i can work with, so that I dont mess up your althist. Ayaa 13:15, May 10, 2011 (UTC)

Feedback of FTBW
I'm liking the parallels, but you should be careful of just rehashing OTL. What is more important to me is the treatment of Quebec and the Pacific Republic. It seems to me that Quebec controls majority English-speakign areas like Nova Scotia. And more importantly, the Pacifics have been independent for a long time. Ther has been a bloody war, but even so, I doubt the Pacifics woyuld give in so easily. Mumby 17:30, May 12, 2011 (UTC)

Oh don't worry, I'm not saying your whole thing is a rehash, and I understand those difficulties. As an aside, whats kicking off on my home turf? I like to know what life would be like for me in alternate histories. Mumby 18:32, May 12, 2011 (UTC)

So no hope of a united Britain then? Or will England become some sort of North Korea analogue, and Scotland becomes more English from migration from an increasingly oppressive and stagnant regime. Mumby 16:16, May 13, 2011 (UTC)

UN o LoN in FTBW?
Hi Tbguy! How are you? :) I read the section about Quebec and Scotish Missle Crisis here and i noticed that you mentioned to the United Nations in 2 parts: French and US Ambassadors to the United Nations in St. Petersburg. And a UN inspection team would oversee this process. According the same article, the organization by this time in FTBW is the League of Nations, nor the UN. jejeje ^^U Was a confusion or you will change the organization? Regards! :) --Katholico 20:16, May 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ohh i see. Well, if you ask me, might be Council of Sovereign Nations (CSN) or Organization of Sovereign Nations, (OSN). I used a similar term for a IO from one of my timelines in spanish wikia jejeje. What think? :) Regards! --Katholico 01:05, May 13, 2011 (UTC)

Hello! I do not know if you noticed, about the south american nations, i wrote the history of Chile, Peru, Argentina and Bolivia until the end of the Third Global War, because you are currently working in the years after this war and i don't know which is exactly situation of the continent is this epoch, yet. I think that when you finish with this years, I will continue writing about the history of countries. :) Regards! --Katholico 21:41, May 20, 2011 (UTC)

500
We have now reached 500 articles on Napoleon's World. Thanks for all your continuing support and interest!

KingSweden 16:18, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

I finished WW1 on The Last Chance for Peace. I could use an implausibility check, and just to see if I missed anything important. Thank you.Azecreth 23:34, June 30, 2011 (UTC)

Umm... not trying to tell you how to do your work or anything, but on the British Waterloo page you forgot to add Delaware as a state in the United States. Just a note. Good Luck!

Novels
I'm gonna finally get around to start working on some of those Napoleon's World novels I've always wanted to do. I was wondering if you had any suggestions what time period/events would make for the most interesting setting?

I had a few ideas, but I wanted to hear from you first.

KingSweden 00:09, July 22, 2011 (UTC)

I definitely agree that the Anarchy would be a great place to explore. There'd be a wealth of stories you could tell there. The Iron Revolution would be good, but it would require shrinking in size and focusing on something specific, like a certain person caught up in it... maybe from the perspective of Pierre Tital in the midst of the chaos and focus on the social aspects of 1920's France?

The only current project I have is about a left-behind in the Pacific Northwest following the Alaskan War who falls into crime, which I'm not really happy with so far.

KingSweden 02:15, July 23, 2011 (UTC)

I need to flesh out the French Civil War here first before I can reliably portray it properly. The Roman Revolution would be an interesting aspect of the Civil War to explore, especially because it isn't tied into France per se.

That's the problem with the top-down approach - picking what you want to write about when there's such a variety you could do :P. That's also the problem with writing about whatever I want to whatever day I feel like it, since I don't have a long, thought-out and established timeline in the chronological way you did.

KingSweden 19:32, July 23, 2011 (UTC)

Venezuelan war
Hi Tbuguy1992! I read about the Venezuelan war, and I found some big errors. First I think you should use Marcos Perez Jimenez as the revolution leader, along the generation of 28 (Betancourt, Leoni, and other important venezuelan figures) could fight along against the invaders. Then Perez Jimenez could take the power and modernize Venezuela like he did in OTL, then maybe a failed coup made by his "allies" to take control, maybe Delgado Chalbaud, so he kill most, and I forgot maybe he could exile the generation of 28 after he took power as a dictator, son then people unhappy with the dictatorship after a decade of foreign control do a revolution and the generation of 28 return to power, (Lusinchi, would possible not existed), finally AD, URD, and COPEI create a tri-partidism system that may last until today or could collapse in the 1990s, with new leaders of other parties taking power, maybe Henrique Salas Romer or Irene Saez, and for today Capriles Radonski, Leopoldo Lopez, Antonio Ledezma, or Manuel Rosales. Regards VENEZUELA 23:39, July 28, 2011 (UTC)

Fascism (French Trafalgar, British Waterloo)
Regarding the use of the term "Fascism" for the political system, *here* it came to be used because groups of like minded people were called fascio (meaning bundle) in Italy and the one that came to form the basis of the Italian Fascist Party was the "Fasci italiani di combattimento". If the ideology emerged from France, it probably would have a different name, maybe "integralism" which was coined by journalist Charles Mauras. Marcpasquin 23:49, July 28, 2011 (UTC)

Guyanas in FTBW
Hi Tbguy how are you?! :) I have a question, what is the situation of the Guayanas countries (i mean Guayana, Suriname, French Guyana) in FTBW? In the map after the Third Global War appear only one territory. Regards! --Katholico 01:31, August 11, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, this sound fine. :)

But i have other questions, i hope don't mind you jeje. First, what is the name of this french overseas colony? French Guyana like OTL or other name? And, other point that i will like ask is about the carribean situation. The initially reunites all the islands, but this country eventually collapse and is succeded by the government of the, right? What islands remain under control Hispaniola and what others fall under control from another countries like CSA, Britain, etc? Regards and thanks! --Katholico 23:45, August 12, 2011 (UTC)




 * Jejeje I just search unclear points in the timeline :P Thanks for your patience :) Well, i made a preliminary map about the alliances in America after Brazil Collapse. The only doubt related this that I still have is the, because originally you wrote here that the country join to the US sphere, but later you placed the country as a affiliate of the . As a puppet-state of Brazil maybe join along with Brazil to the Frenchs. What thinks? Regards! --Katholico 01:48, August 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yep, sounds perfect the idea of a coup. The new government probably would lead by thw peruvian Francisco Morales Bermúdez and bolivian David Padilla. Regards! --Katholico 03:19, August 23, 2011 (UTC)

Riel's Canada
Hey, Tbguy, I was wondering if I may adopt your timeline, Riel's Canada? Just let me know on my talk page whenever you read this. ChrisL123 17:20, August 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * I understand. But I would be ecstatic for it to be a collaborative project between the three of us (if Yank is okay with that). I did ask him on his talk page (LG let me know that he was apart of it, too.) I do see this timeline being a great one. ChrisL123 03:36, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

Next Meeting
You said you'd only be available for another meeting in September. It's now September, and I'd like to ask you when you would like to meet next.

Yank 04:48, September 13, 2011 (UTC)

I'm good for next Tuesday. Same time, same place. 4:30-6:30 in the St Vital Mall Food Court. I'll amend it if it turns out I can't come on the 20th.

Yank 03:52, September 17, 2011 (UTC)

What does a test on Friday have anything to do with it? I said I was available Tuesday.

Yank 04:11, September 17, 2011 (UTC)

If you're not available on September 20th (though I still don't know why a test four days earlier prevents it), would you be available on the 26th?

Yank 15:55, September 17, 2011 (UTC)

Ideology in Brazil (FTBW)
If the United States promoves the Democracy, and the rules the French Empire... in the Brazilian Empire there was some ideology in specific? Regards! --Katholico 06:21, September 24, 2011 (UTC)

Help with my timelines

 * OK, understood.
 * I really glad in help in your timeline, is a amazing work (countries, wars, ideologies, etc)!! And thanks for you offer! :D Would be a honor if you could help me. As you maybe know, only in the spanish wikia i have own works:
 * Chile No Socialista: timeline focus principally in the chilean politics; the Christian Democrats and the Rightist sectors defeat Allende in 1970, and eventually formed an alliance that govern Chile until today. There is too a failed socialist revolution and an war in South America based in the OTL Beagle Conflict.
 * Presidente Portales: A timeline which POD is the survival of the Tri-Minister Diego Portales in 1837 (key in the consolidation and stability of the Chilean Republic) Originally this history stay inactive for a time, but later I read your timeline, and I must say that FTBW inspired to me to continue with Presidente Portales. jeje ^_^U However, i'm revising the articles that i wrote until now, and I realized that probably several things (like countries or wars) are impossible or need to be improved. Because this, for example i asked to South Writer for help for the US history after the American-Mexican War and the Civil War. Probably, in this timeline you could help me. In my case, the history of North America and Europe is my weakness. Regards! --Katholico 21:48, September 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * OK, no problem :) i put the links just for that you to have a look to the timelines. Anyway, yes i have questions... one of the countries with more "protagonism" in PP (Presidente Portales timeline), for the moment, is France. I wrote that the Second French Empire survives and Bonaparte Dinasty of Napoleon III continues. How i made that this happen? Originally i put that France defeat to Prussia in 1870, but later Prussia take revenge in a major war in 1875 (which begin due to an european involvement in a late american civil war this year) and create the German Empire; an civil war erupt in France against Napoleon III, but somehow ultimately he result victorious. :/
 * However, now i see that this result is very complicated and probably make no sense. What thinks? Is possible somehow the survival of the Napoleon III's Empire? Regards and thanks! --Katholico 03:48, September 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for resolve this doubt. :) I will follow your opinion for the French Empire.
 * Another thing that i like ask is about the fate of Alaska (stay under Russian control or is sold to the US) and if could become in an independent nation. In OTL the russian territory was sold to the US in 1867. In ATL, Lincoln was elect president in 1864; his first term principally focuses in a threat of an new conflict with Mexico. As soon as this ends, the American civil war erupt in 1868 and end an stalemate. Considering this US scenary, what thinks? Maybe I need consider the situation of the British Canada? Reards! --Katholico 22:17, September 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * OK, so Alaska remain as an Russian territory. Effectively, I think that the russian-british relations would be same to OTL. Thanks, I will read Wikipedia for continue with the Canadian history.
 * By the way, you think that the survival of the Second French Empire (about that we had spoken before) might cause some effect in the geopolitics in Europe or in the colonialism in Asia and Africa? or basically the things continue in the same way until the First World War at least? --Katholico 00:46, September 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your help! I will consider the issue of Bismarck. For the moment, i think that i will continue with the timeline until the beginning of XX Century, and i will explore the history of Asia, another continent that i need improve. By the way, i'm reading this page of FTBW and i noticed maybe an mistake in the next paragraph:


 * The majority of the fighting took place in Western Europe, in the Confederation of the Rhine and the Netherlands, and ultimately into the French Empire itself by 1862, but not before both Prussia and Britain were nearly defeated in 1860.


 * This line is about the First Global War, where Prussia and Britain won, no were defeated. I don't know if this is written correctly or maybe I'm reading wrong (After all, my english is STILL basic xD jeje). --Katholico 03:21, September 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh i see, then, i read wrong xD
 * No problem, in fact the other day i moved the peru-bolivian confederation from the EDA to Juneau Pact, according that we had spoken before.
 * By the way, maybe have another doubt; i will explain to you the situation: In my timeline, the American-Mexican War was won by Mexico due to the intervention of Chile and Brazil, which was lead by the chilean minister Diego Portales. However also I made that Spain interfering in the conflict as result of the chilean-brazilian diplomacy. I'm trying that the join of Spain to the latin-american's side take place maybe when the war arrive to his climax (a mexican counter-attack in Texas), as a form for that the US government consider surrendering... as US don't accept this initially, the spanish army invade Florida, and finally when to war reach to the Mississippi, the US accept his defeat. In the aftermath, I consider give Florida to Spain (Despite that a couple of decades before Spain sold this territory), while Mexico don't lost the territory that lost in OTL and also recovers Texas. However as this northern mexican territories (California, New Mexico, Arizona) by this time has not much population, and as the efforts of Mexico are still focused in to build a solid government, they give to Chile and Brazil the territory of California for his administration. Well, what thinks about alll this? Make sense or some things like the intervention of Spain, are unrealistic? Please be free for correct me. Thanks!! --Katholico 03:34, September 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, actually, the POD is precisely which explain the change of the US-Chile relations; Diego Portales was an important critic of USA in Chile, he don't trust in them. One of much things that seem to me very intersting to write this ATL is precisely this point. Bassically, He was a visionary leader, and with the timeline i explore the course of the history if he don't be killed yoo young. But well, anyway, thanks for you help! I will change some things so. :D Regards! --Katholico 05:13, September 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Understand now the things, thanks. :)
 * By the way, i can ask to you some help for my other timeline Chile No Socialista? Specifically, about the international situation in the timeline. For the moment, the principal changes are limited to South America, but principally due to a war in 1978 between Chile, Argentina and his allies. I have been treating to see if are possibles some another changes in the world but it seems that probably the history in general would have remain the same. Also, I tried to change some presidents in the USA, put Ted Kennedy in 1981 (because he would have an important role to finish the war in South America)... but besides the vialibity of this, now i realized that i haven't a coherent plan for the U.S. for my timeline... stay the same would the better for a history as the mine?... Anyway, if you give any opinion, i would be glad. Regards! --Katholico 03:46, October 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * I had not seen the 4,000 edits xD jaja Thanks!!!
 * I now undertand, thanks very much for the explanation. In this case, maybe it would be better to leave the U.S. presidencies without changes... honestly, about Kennedy, i think that originally i put him just for have a important international change in my timeline, but without considering the consequences... the central idea of my TL, is that South America remain anti-communist but the dictatorships end early and the democracy is consolidated more rapidly. Regards and thanks! --Katholico 05:19, October 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. In my timeline, the Falklands War don't happen (because instead in 1978 the South American War took place). So, what changes you think that this could bring to England's government? Regards! --Katholico 04:01, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

FTBW questions and other
Almost i forget another things that i noticed in FTBW... in this article you wrote Pan-Eurasian Defensive Alliance... i assume that you refer European Defensive Alliance... is correct? --Katholico 02:13, September 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Just an doubt... Argentina was not one of the before Third Global War? Regards! :) --Katholico 04:10, October 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi tbguy! I hope you don't mind but i fix some things in the Nations page. As the Peru-Bolivian Confederation fell under US influence change his government simply to dictatorship. Regards! --Katholico 04:36, October 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi again! I'm working in the south american articles and I was asking me what you think about the possibility that Sorelist governments were elected democratically bewteen 1960's and 1970's in countries like Chile and/or Argentina? i mean, given the international scenario with the Venezuelan War put Brazil and Colombia at the edge of the abyss, the US support the venezuelans, and the French Empire with 1973 revolution, what you think that could happen? Regards! --Katholico 02:38, November 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * mmm, ok, but... if an Chilean sorelist win by narrow margin but in 1968 (before the french repression)? The reason for which I ask this is because I was thinking about something similar to Allende OTL (but with different final)... my idea is that this government would not have a successor (in 1972 the election will be won by liberal-conservatives or socialists/radicals)... at the end just would be a minor case in the Tri-Powers Conflict. Anyway, is just an idea. Regards! --Katholico 03:30, November 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * That's a good question... just we decided that south america would be divided between US and France, but we not talked about the specific case of Chile. According this section, only after the collapse of Brazil, Chile, like as the other South American nations, Chile join to the Juneau Pact... but in the page of the you put that Chile enter to the alliance in the year of 1953. I'm not sure what think you is better? before o after to the fall of Brazil? Regards! --Katholico 17:49, November 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi again! I fix the construction template in Pacific Republic, but also i noticed that you translate the name of the country as República Pacifica but the correct spanish name i think should be República del Pacífico. Regards! --Katholico 03:12, November 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * You're welcome! Is a honor help you in your really great timeline :D But, what think about the previous matter? When Chile join to the Juneau Pact? Regards! --Katholico 02:41, November 16, 2011 (UTC)

Americas in FTBW
Hi, Tb, it has been a long time. I don't know if I ever congratulated you on FTBW, so, congrats. I like the idea of the south winning, and even the 'occupation' after the global war. I figure this would be because the two nations were on different sides during that last conflict. Anyway, I'll look over the time line a little more, but it looks about right as you describe it. I'm busy trying to jumpstart the American articles on 1983DD right now, but I'll be glad to look at whatever you develop in the latter 19th and early 20th century for the Americas. SouthWriter 03:30, September 26, 2011 (UTC)

Well, I have to concede, you are doing a fine job, but the work is far too biased toward a socialist worldview. If you develop the Democracies into more conservative, capitalistic nations, perhaps you can move toward a balance that would 'make sense.' If you need any help in developing some conservative republics, based on the US constitution and traditional values, let me know. I might be able to put together some scenarios that might just work. Meanwhile, study up on the principles of American conservatism, especially economic theory. You state that you're for free enterprise, as long as its regulated (a bit of socialism never hurt - lol), so capitalism is not foreign to you. Try to look at things from different points of view and stack the facts against the opinion. The real world never works the way we want it too, and neither should good fiction. SouthWriter 00:14, September 28, 2011 (UTC)

Welcome back!
Hey TB, long time no see. I'm a much better map gamer now, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Check out the Axis vs Allies Revised Map Game. It's pretty sweet, with a United Nations where we can vote on resolutions, etc. PitaKang- (Talk | Contribs) 22:24, September 27, 2011 (UTC)

Wait, do you mean the Axis vs Allies, or Axis vs Allies Revised? Because the first AvA failed pretty miserably. Also, check out Principia Moderni if you haven't already. Detectivekenny "invented" the idea of an algorithm to figure out wars, and it's working pretty sweet. AvAr also has it. PitaKang- (Talk | Contribs) 23:31, September 27, 2011 (UTC)

Hello Again!
Hey man! It's been a while. Hows school going?

I was looking over FTBW, very impressed - you've done some excellent work. Taking inspiration from real-world events led me to begin developing my Cinco De Mayo timeline, but that thing's got some work. Anyways, I had some ideas for the Gulf States Confederacy, at least in regards to the various dictators who could have been in control of it. People like Richard Russell, George Wallace and maybe even Jimmy Carter could have been members of the single-party dictatorship (maybe Jimmy Carter being somewhat analogous to Gorbachev in his slow but steady movement towards a reunification with the northern parts of the Confederacy.

Let me know what you think!

KingSweden 04:07, October 21, 2011 (UTC)

A good resource for the Southern United States is usually SouthWriter - I've never spoken to him myself, but I know he's very highly regarded on this wiki and knows a lot about the history of that region, which due to the dominance of the Democratic Party in that region from the late 1870's all the way to 1994 lends itself well to a single-party state. In the 1940's and 1950's, the Republicans often didn't even contest general election races in places like ALabama or Mississippi, since the Democratic primary more or less determined the winner. Althists with a "List of Presidents of the Confederacy" could be good too, as long as you keep an eye on what states the people are from.

I'll do what I can on sports, maybe cook up some new team names for the ATL US states. My expertise lies mostly with collegiate and professional football.

KingSweden 15:46, October 21, 2011 (UTC)

Perot and Byrd
I spotted something I thought may be worth pointing out - Ross Perot is a Texan, which from what I've surmised isn't a part of the United States in FTBW. Is he from the North in this TL? Also, Robert Byrd was from West Virginia - otherwise, he'd have been a Confederate ;)

KingSweden 06:13, October 23, 2011 (UTC)

I definitely liked the picks! Just thought I'd point that out, but you've obviously already thought of that. Ted Turner, I like that its a good choice.

Overcategorization
The title sums it up, really. It's already in the Scandinavia category, so there is no need for the others. Thus, overcategorization. Lordganon 05:41, October 24, 2011 (UTC)

Titanic & SAC (DD)
Hi! Ok, i read the discussion and i liked you idea about the Titanic. Almost 28 years since the Doomsday, and the scientific explorations in differente areas, obviously, should continue. The Titanic search seems to me a good option. Now, about an possible SAC's involvement in the matter, i think this perfectly paussible, given that the South America is one of the continents that leads in technological advances in Doomsday. However, there is not, YET, a official scientific branch in the SAC (the article in itself need improve in several parts), which could lead this expedition. So, we should create first a entity for this. Scientific institutions from Brazil, Argentina, Chile and Venezuela should the first for to contribute in this area, thought. In any case, i coincide with LG in the point that probably in 2012, just begin the search. The discovery should occurs in a couple of years more. I hope that this helps you. If you need any other thing, just let me know. Regards! --Katholico 04:37, October 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * I see, yes, the generator seems to me a good idea, as well as the dates of the beginning of the search. Regards! :) --Katholico 18:07, October 26, 2011 (UTC)

HELLO THERE!!!!!!!!!
Hello there! I liked your CYOAH timeline! I have a new timeline, called: China's Decision. In this POD, China will decide whether to westernize or not, that will lead to a different course of history. Do you like it?

RandomWriterGuy 22:13, November 4, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Re:HELO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry about it. The China's Decision TL in this TL was actually a proposal. Sorry for the confusion.

RandomWriterGuy 17:11, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

Re:re:HELLO THERE!!!!!!!!!
The POD of China's Decision is this:

Japan, still grasping to its traditions, angrily refuses Matthew Perry's offer, forcing him and the Japanese to go to battle. The Americans get the upper hand and squash the Japanese. Yet to make up for this failure, he decides to go to China. He gets to China, asking the government to open trade to western governments. The Chinese are between a rock and a hard place: they don't want to trade, but after hearing new about the incident in Japan, they have a difficult choice to make.

And the player decides which route to take.

Hope this answers your question!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

Fractured America
Hi, basically the Dutch are planning to invade France, take some of North France, and some French colonies. Germany can join in and take some French colonies as well as some of France proper too if they like; VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 20:49, November 15, 2011 (UTC).


 * Well you wanna join in with my invasion of them? You could take some of European France, and then claim some of the French colonies as war reparations. The Netherlands are looking at taking Some of North European France, French Guiana, Saint Marten, Saint-Barthelemy, and French Congo. You can take whatever else you like :D VonGlusenburg (talk to Von!) 14:36, November 16, 2011 (UTC).

FTBW Questions
Hello, I have a few questions for you: Enjoy these questions! :D
 * 1) Why would Napoleon make peace with Britain? I doubt he would do that if he actually did win Trafalgar.
 * 2) Why didn't Napoleon want to conquer the rest of Europe (including Russia)?
 * 3) Does France have any large colonial ambitions?

 * 5) Will Latin America gain independence?

P.S.: Can I make the article "China's Decisions" in the CYOAH?

Napoleonic Wars
Hi.

I trying to make an TL, were Napoleon wins the Napoleonic Wars (I know very common), but I was wondering if you any POD's that could work, besides Waterloo. Enclavehunter 07:33, December 21, 2011 (UTC)

What if Admiral Nelson was defeated at the Battle of the Nile. Could that work?Enclavehunter 16:45, December 21, 2011 (UTC)

I think I would do an TL, where the Louisanna Purchase dosn't go through-appreciate the idea-, but how can I put that without being implausible. I was thinking if Thomas Jefferson wasn't elected, or if John Adams was the 3rd President and Thomas Jefferson was the 2nd President. Enclavehunter 08:32, December 22, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the advice. And good luck on your TL.Enclavehunter 23:09, December 22, 2011 (UTC)

FTBW Sports
I can actually do both for you, with a bit of background information. I've made logo edits with MS Paint since most logos are such simple designs that edits can be made relatively easily without the need of a more sophisticated product. I would love to do gridiron for you, but I'd like to know a little more about the nature of the Confederate States (even after the post-WWII split) to figure out what the sports in those states would be like.

FTBW Plans
Do you have any plans for the 2010s period for FTBW? RandomWriterGuy 00:39, January 3, 2012 (UTC)

War of 1812 in FTBW
I am a little confused on the concept of the War of 1812 in FTBW. If America is going to war against Britain, why can't France support America? I mean, could they gain land from Britain by doing this? RandomWriterGuy 04:49, January 3, 2012 (UTC)

Joseph McCarthy (FTBW)
Maybe you noticed this, but for safety I ask you jeje McCarthy dies in OTL in 1957 but due to his alcoholism. You will changes this in the TL or to the President? Regards! --Katholico 21:36, January 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * Understand, thanks :) By the way, the Association internationale de Football (AIF) is the OTL FIFA, right? --Katholico 01:34, January 4, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks. If need help to expand this article, i will be glad to assist to you. Regards!! :D PS: Not forget put about the Chile situation in the . --Katholico 00:32, January 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * I hope don't mind, but i read something from that you wrote to Enclavehunter and i believe that i must applied the same thing to my TLs, because i also wrote first an list of wars and now I have had to revize and to modify several things that i wrote. jeje ^_^U Regards! --Katholico 05:15, January 6, 2012 (UTC)

I have a request
i will be gone for a few days, i will ask Saamwill, Imperium Guy, and Crimson Assassin to help with this.I need you to take over for me on my map games. I would realy apreciate it if you could do this for me, thanks a bunch if you can, I realy hope you can, and dont worry about me announcing your taking control on the map games, your an admin, theyll trust you. The reason I have asked you and 3 other people si because if some cant or they bail, my countries will be screwed over, and I can t allow that.
 * 1) Fractured America: I am the United States of America, expand the Tanzania colony as much as you can every turn and dont forget to mention it. Defend all of your possessions and if questioned on the talk page about the referendum results, defend my results, I actualy did use the Random.org for them. Stay at peace if you can, if not, make sure you can win and get as much out of it if you can, if you can, back down at the least cost.
 * 2) American Empire: Stand up against Russia and continue to help France in its war against Prussia and Austria. 28,000 troops are in France and Prussia under US Command, you currently occupy Munich. try and keep Russia on your good side.
 * 3) Mesaíonas Map Game: Persia: try and expand as much as possible without angering User Controlled Nations.
 * 4) States of America 4: You are the CSS (Southron), keep expanding your military and navy as well as industry, nuclear research, and agriculture. When 1934.0 arives, avoid alliances and expand as much as you can without causing war against other nations. DO NOT join WW2, last time I did I got crushed.
 * 5) Principia Moderni: You are the Incan-Colombian Republic, or ICR, keep at peace as much as is possible. Your allies are Russia and Turan.

thanks,

Meeting
Unfortunately I cannot meet you today. My parents had to go to a friend's funeral. I may be able to meet with you later in the week, but I have to discuss it with my mom when she returns.

Yank 23:55, January 3, 2012 (UTC)

I'll be in Winnipeg tommorrow sometime arround noon. I have no idea when I am going to be in the St Vital Area so I have to ask you something. Do you have a cellphone I can contact you with?

Yank 03:42, January 6, 2012 (UTC)

Hello.
Hey. I made an new timeline called Puissance Réelle, it was inspired by yours and Napoleon's World (I know, very common?), I was trying to make it orginial, and I was wondering if you can review the two pages: the actual page, and the List of Wars. Hope you like it, and please construction criticism is helpful. Enclavehunter 02:21, January 6, 2012 (UTC)

First, sorry for making it feel similiar, and thanks for the criticism, and I promise I won't try to make it all similiar to yours. How do you think Napoleon would deal with Russia. I was thinking of him waiting and invading Russia during the Spring of 1806, which would give them summer and autumn to conquer the Russians. Enclavehunter 03:35, January 6, 2012 (UTC)

Okay. So if Russia is knocked out of the fight, as is Prussia and Austria, did Napoleon have any other enemies in Europe he would have to deal with in order to achieve continental dominance. Well, besides Britain, I have plans for them. Enclavehunter 05:19, January 6, 2012 (UTC)

Hey again. I was wondering if you can give me your opinion on what I was thinking when I get to the years after the Atlanitc War (War of 1812) parts of the timeline. In this TL, Britain lost the war, due to being invaded by France, while its main army is distracted by the Americans. What do you think about the following? Enclavehunter 02:30, January 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) Russia keeps Alaska, and claim the remainder of British Canada.
 * 2) The US claims southern Canada.
 * 3) France claims Quebec, Newfoundland, and Labrador parts of British Columbia.
 * 4) Ireland gets Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales declares independence.
 * 5) Much of the former colonies gain independence.

Video Games (FTBW)
Hey. I have an few suggestions (Don't have to accept them) for the video games section of your TL. Here they are:

Supreme Ruler 2020 (2009): An strategy game in which you can control any nation of the modern era, such as the United States or France, and fight for world domination.

Fallouts 1 (1997) and 2 (1999), as well as Fallout 3 (2008), after an fictional nuclear war between France, United States, and other countries. Civilization must recover, and some new countries may emerge from the ruins, such as the New California Republic or the French Legion. Enclavehunter 05:32, January 11, 2012 (UTC)

AIF World Cups (FTBW)
Hi again Tbguy! I has been thinking, and, if you want, i can help you with the football cups in FTBW. Maybe i have a couple of ideas for the event. I don't know what you think or if you already have an idea for? PS: You have a new idea for Latin America situation in the present of FTBW? --Katholico 17:26, January 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * Ok, thanks. Then, I will begin soon the AIF article, and I will consult with you what think about.
 * That sounds very interesting. Will be maybe something like the, but with other name?. Regards! --Katholico 17:51, January 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * I created the article, but i want consult with you some things: As the Olympic Games began early in 1888, then, i also put the world cups begun before, in 1922. What thinks about? And, i think that is better put in the same page, the list of World Cups, and you? Regards! --Katholico 06:13, January 14, 2012 (UTC)


 * I was considering some location in a "neutral" country as in OTL is Switzerland, but if want Bordeaux, for me no problem. :) Now i will write about the world cups. If need that i change something, let me know. Regards! --Katholico 06:40, January 14, 2012 (UTC)


 * Make sense. However what country should be the first host? I put to Uruguay like OTL but because would be a "new" nation after the Second Global War and maybe consider as neutral. The other option in mind was Sweden because remain neutral during the war. I don't what you think is better? By the way, i noticed that you put Chile as winter games host in 1978. Originally i was thinking about that date the country fell into economic crisis due to Brazilian collapse. Is possible to change the date? Regards! --Katholico 07:16, January 14, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks very much! Well, i put France then as first host, and added others until the war. I thinking put Persia also as host time before the first middle eastern war. Regards! --Katholico 22:31, January 14, 2012 (UTC)


 * I assume that the African Football League that appear in the Media article is the main federation for that continent, but for the rest of the continents? How they should be organized? I mean, Asia should include Australasia or Europe include some part of Asia? I ask because maybe as in the Napoleon's World timeline, the political scenario of FTBW might influence in this. Regards! --Katholico 03:01, January 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * So, what you think should be the continental federations? --Katholico 04:51, January 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * Jeje In this case, thanks for trust in me for this. I will try to made the better it. And If later you have an suggestion for the game, let me know. Regards! PS: Do you heard about the Football War between El Salvador and Honduras in OTL? --Katholico 05:18, January 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * Well, i'm not exactly suggesting that be between latin america nation like OTL, maybe in other side of world, in other year, with countries in similar situation, but just was an idea. You decided if is useful or not. Regards! :) --Katholico 06:18, January 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * By the way, i forgot to say that i finish with the selection of host for World Cups, what you think? Regards! --Katholico 03:54, January 27, 2012 (UTC)

Brazilian Empire End?
According the timeline, the Empire of Brazil continues, at least, until the Third Global War. After that, Brazil appear being ruled by Emílio Garrastazu Médici (a dictador?) by the time of the Venezuelan War, and after, the country fell into an civil war. In the mid time between that events, what you think that happen with the Brazilian Monarchy? My first thought is that Brazil became an dictatorship (we talk before about that the Brazilian Bloc in fact was composed by some dictatorships in South America) after the 1950's, but since the country WON the Global War, this seems to me unlikely, or at least maybe need be discussed... what is your opinion? Regards! --Katholico 01:26, January 14, 2012 (UTC)

Nice new work with Brazil, i will add this to the article! --Katholico 03:00, January 17, 2012 (UTC)




 * I changed the Brazilian flag and coat now that is a republic? Regards! --Katholico 04:46, January 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * In this case, is ok if i try to made a new flag for Brazil? --Katholico 16:12, January 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * Probably i will use as base the OTL Flags. When i have a prototype ready, i will show to you. Regards! --Katholico 16:22, January 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * Ok, here is my first version. I used the coat (without dates because i don't know how added) and part of the flag of the United States of Brazil. What you thinks? Maybe add some stars? Regards! --Katholico 15:00, January 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * mmm, well, in that case, what you think of this other? --Katholico 17:21, January 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * Demons! Honestly, I won't noticed before that it looks like to the French flag! XD I was trying to make an flag different to the OTL design (the gold diamond, etc)... but there is an OTL proposed flag that might be according your description: Project of Oliveira Valadão, 1892. Regards! --Katholico 18:18, January 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * Seems that you finally decided for the OTL proposal... Maybe, I should have begun that flag xP Regards! --Katholico 03:07, January 26, 2012 (UTC)

Argentina Post-1946
Hi! I want tour opinion for Argentina in FTBW, after the Third Global War and fall of Natso Regime... since that Brazil (along with Chile) occupied to Argentina for some time after the war for the reconstruction, the country should become in an dictatorship or an parliamentary republic (with the President as an figurehead)? --Katholico 03:00, January 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * When you says that Brazil managed to eventually force its own man in charge, you mean, a Brazilian officer or a pro-brazil argentinian? jeje And later, he became in a dictator? Regards! --Katholico 03:38, January 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * No problem! Thanks! :) --Katholico 04:51, January 17, 2012 (UTC)

Portuguese Colonies
Sorry for disturb you, again, but while i was seeing the nations in the maps (for the Football article), i noticed that Portugal still have colonies today in Africa; specifically Mozambique and a part of Angola. Since the Portugal was defeated in the Second and Third Global Wars, this territories if not was annexed by other nations, maybe might become independent during the 50's? Also, i should say that i asked because i think that a new nation in Africa, would be some good for the football article since the continent only have 6 nation (7 with Sudan in 2004), the rest are colonies. Regards! --Katholico 17:48, January 19, 2012 (UTC)

Help?
You need help with the wars or the new timelines from FTBW? (I noticed you remove some interesting lines about the war in SA) Regards! --Katholico 23:01, January 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Ok, when you are ready just let me know to help. :) --Katholico 04:55, January 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * That's fine for me :) Just, maybe we need to decide for where i begin... for avoid edition conflicts, i mean jeje... by the 1800s timeline or other? --Katholico 05:24, January 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * Oki, i already has begun and i have a little question XD When the Hungarian Revolt mentioned here took place? Regards! --Katholico 06:37, January 29, 2012 (UTC)


 * For the wars in South America, previously i wrote in the countries articles some things about the development of the conflicts inside each country... always according the general lines of FTBW pages... you might use some of this when you write more about the wars... ? Regards! --Katholico 04:46, January 30, 2012 (UTC)

Hi there, I love what you've done with FTBW! Its been a long time, so I thought I'd just tell you what a fine job you're doing and urge you to continue. Mumby 17:57, January 12, 2012 (UTC)

End to the Cold War in FTBW
Is ther any end to the Cold War in FTBW, and if so, how? RandomWriterGuy 04:30, January 16, 2012 (UTC)

Russia in FTBW
I like the concept how Russia became a democracy instead of a communist state unlike OTL. However, I have to warn you one thing that will shock you:

In OTL, when Gorbachev was democratizing the country, this allowed a new force that would ultimatly destroy the country once and for all. This force began right at the Baltic States, when many peoples, especially Lithuanians, demanded total independence from the USSR. Gorbachev tried everything to keep the union togetherm but that force that began in Lithuania spread to other USSR republics. Gorbachev proposed the New Union Treaty to keep the union intact. However, before it can be signed, the August Coup occured that attempted to eliminate everything Gorbachev tried to achieve. Although it was a horrible failure for those who planned it, it sparked the USSR republics to leave the union. By 1991, the USSR was just another piece of history.

Now remember: if Russia becomes a democracy in the FTBW timeline, you must remember the nationalist force that brought down the USSR. If Russia's going to hold itself together, something must be done to keep it together.

So what comes in your mind when you hear this and what do you think should happen?

RandomWriterGuy 06:22, January 18, 2012 (UTC)

Well apperently, in OTL, Gorbachev would do anything to make sure they stay in the country. My theory is that maybe Gorbachev would probably establish a New Union Treaty (inspired by the New Union Timeline by NuclearVacuum) to make sure the multiple enthic groups and the government can have their way.

How does this sound? RandomWriterGuy 03:23, January 20, 2012 (UTC)

Turkey in FTBW
I like the idea of how the Ottomans collapses into civil war after the Second Great War and led to the creation of new states in the Balkans and Anatolia, but how does that explain their holding of the interior. Was there a Saudi Emirate of sorts already established in Eastern Arabia?

Also, considering how Post-War Turkey fell into the NatSo alliance between the Civil War and into the obvious Sorelist state in the post-war Scenario. Could you elaborate on how that might have occured, and how it could've affected their situation against France, Persia (and I also assume Greece as well) during the war. I ask this cause it seems that Turkey hasn't really been elaborated on since the fall of the Empire and I'm kind of a stickler for both Ottoman and Turkish history. Razgriz 2K9 04:43, January 19, 2012 (UTC)

I apologize if I had not been clear earlier on the subject, so here goes, when I was talking about the interior of the Arabian peninsula, I did in fact mean the Saudis, since I know the Ottomans had not been mentioned to have ever occupied or controlled the Arabian interior. I've always assumed that the Saudi State, (or the Emirate of Diriyah until the Turkish CIvil War) had nominal control of the interior and served as an influence against Ottoman rule, but then that's me talking out of my head there.

As for the idea of Turkey's involvement, I like the idea you have there, depending on how you look at it though, the occupation of Istanbul by the French Empire could've forced Turkey to surrender, or, as was the case with Italy in OTL, the NatSo party in Turkey would continue to fight in what would be another Turk Civil War, with the French-backed Sorelists and the German-backed National Socialists over Anatolia. But that's my two cents. I may try to expand what you have their as well as a few inputs of my own, but with my house internet down I probably would not be able to pass it forward until next week at best. Razgriz 2K9 15:30, January 19, 2012 (UTC)

I just recently got a new modem for my home and I've gotten time to digest the information you gave me in detail. You had the Ottoman Civil War deal with the Balkan conflict and its issue with the Romanian, Bulgarian and South Slav (Serb, Croat, Montenegrin, Albanian and Macedonian Slav) seperatists as well as Greek irredentists.

But what of Anatolia? I know you had some of the conflict based on the Greco-Turkish War of 1919, so I assume the conflict would spread to Western Anatolia. But what of the Armenians and Kurds? Since Russia never collapsed ITTL, that would mean a Armenian Nation-state in Russia would be held back indefinitely, but with the instability in post-Ottoman Turkey, with what the Empire most likely divided into various factions internally, would it have been possible to have an Armenian nation-state during the Civil War period? Razgriz 2K9 20:42, January 25, 2012 (UTC)

Sure, I can take a stab at helping you with fleshing out the history of Turkey, the Balkans and Egypt/Libya. I've been reading up on the material since I've gotten a book talking about the Decline and Fall of the Ottoman Empire for Christmas two years ago. I'm also still trying to flesh out what I can about the Ottoman Civil War that I started over the weekend.

I've managed to score up a bit of free time here, and I've been able to complete info on inter-war Turkey, should I send it to you privately for review or do you want me to put it up one-time? Razgriz 2K9 18:40, February 3, 2012 (UTC)

Some idea to FTBW timeline
OTL in 1811, Polish nobleman and Russian Senator M. Oginsky offered to the Enperor Alexander I to create an autonomos state, the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, in the western Russia It would be not the same that Middle Age or modern Lithuania, but Polish State under the Romanov dinasty rule (more or less sush as 1815 Congressional Poland), with Polish as the state language and the Lithuanian Statut of 1588 as constitution. It was proposed as buffer state between Russia and the Napoleon Empire, and pro-Russian counter to the pro-French Grand Duchy of Warsaw
