Description

It's 1845. the United States sees Texas, who is ethnically and morally related to the Americans, and decides to give small supplies of troops and garrison. While Texas proposed Annexation by the US, the US decided that having another country on their side would be a political advantage against the Mexicans and their European allies. the United States had already made an enemy of the Prussian Empire, and the United States and Mexico weren't all on good terms after the official beginnings of the Texas Revolution from the Mexican Empire. Going into the 1890's, Mexico is struggling with a brief recession and northern rebels. the Emperor of Mexico calls on the united Germany for aid, and receives a few Hessians along with some generals sent by Otto von-Bismarck. When the Mexican Emperor dies without an heir, Bismarck pulls some strings in the Mexican parliament to decide a new emperor of Mexico, who would willingly do what the Kaiser advised in exchange for leniency on trade deals.

the puppet leader planted by Otto von-Bismarck into the Mexican Empire, to combat the US' progression and prevent the US' intervention into the upcoming Great War, cir. 1893, the then-weak Mexican Empire saw a great era of stability, and became allied with the Central Powers in the early 18th century. Mexico had various free-state and fringe territories under their control in that time, their territory also encompassing Na-Dene (aka Navajo) and Mescalero. Their 'states' were later given autonomy following the Great War. the Tribal Jurisdictions of the free state of Tohono and Yaqui were frowned upon by Mexican conservatives, but the current leadership under the young Emperor of Mexico, who had married into the dynasty of House Hohenzollern via the Kaiser's second-oldest daughter, had persisted on the progressive stance of the Mexican Empire, as well as neighboring territories.

Mexico in this world has a rocky relationship with the French, who had attempted to occupy them in the 1860's due to not paying them an alleged war-debt. the French had later occupied some of the Caribbean islands, later under the "Viceroy of Haiti" in 1936. Centroamericana was also occupied by the French for a short period in the 1890s, and a significant population of Belize and Guatemala and the Yucatan still speak a corrupted dialect of French to this day.

the United States, under social influence from the southerners and northern sympathizers, had completely segregated the ethnic backgrounds of Afro-Americans and whites. However going into the 1910s the United States began slow efforts of desegregation, at least in the north. Some native territories and jurisdictions later gained the status of 'free state', inspired by Mexico's system of autonomous regions. "reds", as Natives were often referred to colloquially, were considered superior to the black man but not to the white man. This all-but-systemized social caste persisted within the American republic for a long time. In the late 1920s, progressive governments relaxed the restrictions of movement of African-Americans within ghetto districts. A phenomenon led by priests and other progressives, referred to as the "Great Mulatto Migration" lasted from 1925 to 1930. the state of Oregon, and the associated special jurisdictions granted to the state of Oregon by the United States, would come to see a separatist movement. A first civil-war had occurred shortly after the secession of Texas from Mexico and the US' assistance in Texas' independence, and now it seemed like a second civil war was brewing. the state of Oregon, along with its associated territories, called for secession in 1931. It led to the Second Civil War. Shortly after the declaration of Oregon's independence, the jurisdiction of Deseret, which was occupied by a native and Mennonite-Deutsch coexistent priesthood known colloquially as Mormons, revolted against the United States as well, allying with Oregon if only for the sake of combining their military powers. the United States would often refer to this as the Great Western War. What was seen as "Far-Right Radical Progressive rebels" by the US were able to defend their turf of the rocky mountains well, and Oregon and Deseret would soon be free republics from the US in 1935.

While all of this was happening in North America, Russia, from 1911 to 1919 experienced a Civil War, with the ideologies of Communism on the rise. the Romanov Dynasty fled to the Alyaska fringe territory along with other anti-Commune dissenters, and had bought the Yukon from Canada in 1923. What became known as the Alyaska Parliamentary Republic by 1930 had adopted republican values, learning from the mistakes of their inexperienced and foolish previous autocrat. the Royal Family of House Romanov still has a seat as a place of divine royal prestige, but have no say in Alyaska's functions beyond ceremonial needs, and intervening in judiciary terms-- making sure no one oversteps boundaries. Oregon and Alyaska quickly became friends; the same could not be said for Oregon's relationship with Deseret; the Mormons were still considered polygamous heathens and a disgrace to the will of God, even for progressives such as Oregon. Throughout the 1930s and '40s, many a negro would migrate from the US to Oregon, in search of greater freedoms. Oregon would even establish diplomatic relations with the Viceroy of Haiti under France and the Empire of Mexico and the other spheres of influence later on, due to the acceptance of mixed-race within their respective empires, republics and kingdoms.
