1865-1870
The Great North American War has ended. The former United States has fractured into the Confederate States of America and the New American Empire. The American Empire rules Canada with an iron fist, while the Confederacy begins considering plans for an invasion of Mexico. Following the Withdrawal of the French in 1867, the Confederates invade and conquer Mexico. They annex the Country in 1868.

The Empire pursues a strategy of coexistence under Grant. Meanwhile, in europe, the rising power of the Kingdom of Prussia is confirmed with victory over Austria in the Austro-Prussian War. Bismarck, hoping to gain the use of the United States as an ally in a possible war with France, begins meeting with Grant.
