Sneak-peak Timeline Part 1: Venezuela Crisis of 1895 goes hot!

Early to Mid 1895: Venezuela Crisis begins between Venezuela and Britain. The US intervenes on Venezuela's side, invoking the Monroe Doctrine and telling the UK to submit the boundary disputd to arbitration. The UK is more ruthless in this timeline, and says it would go to war with the US if needed. The US sends some of its navy down to Venezuela to show the UK that the US is ready to fight if needed.

Mid 1895: Britain declares war on America and Venezuela, beginning the Anglo-American War of 1895
