Differences from OTL (1861: Historical Failing)

Here is the main differences from this time-line and OTL:


 * Giuseppe Garibaldi failed to make Italy United (main POD)


 * Technology develops faster, empires and nations start earlier.


 * Ottoman Empire survives, but the nation suddenly changes into a republic.


 * There is no Oceania


 * The Gregorian Calendar is used over the world.


 * Most tribes are destroyed early on, hence why a lot less languages.


 * There was no civilisation appearing in Africa in this time-line, hence why France is domaining almost all the continent.


 * Some sports and companies are different, with some sports (like Formula 1 in OTL) and companies not existing in this time-line, and instead is replaced with something different (like Need for Speed in TTL, instead of Formula 1 in OTL), or with something that would have never really existed in OTL.


 * Most clothing companies in OTL do not exist in 1861: HF. Instead, it is replaced with companies that would never exist in OTL for (sometimes) obvious reasons. In TTL, there are only 10-15 clothing companies total. For fast food/restaurants, only 25-30 of them exist (company-wise, and at least 20 of them operate world-wide).


 * Some car companies in OTL are slightly different in 1861: HF (sometimes under a different name).


 * Some people from OTL have different names in 1861: HF, or don't exist at all.


 * Most nations in the world drive on the Left. UK and East Russia drive on the right. Pacific Union has no roads at all, as they drive off road anyway.
 * Left driving nations: All members of the United Nations (except East Russia).
 * Right driving nations: UK, East Russia
 * No specific side: Pacific Union (they have no roads, they only drive off road).

(may be more differences, but these are the main ones.)
