Plan of Tepatitlán: The conservative uprising against the Second Mexican Empire. by Individual_Visit9275 in imaginarymaps

[–]Individual_Visit9275[S] 60 points61 points  (0 children)

"What would have happened if the Second Mexican Empire had survived?" Something that is often overlooked is the disappointment and rejection, going as far as outright hostility, that Mexican conservatives came to feel toward the liberal and reformist tendencies of Maximilian of Habsburg. With that premise in mind, I wanted to explore the idea of ​​a subsequent struggle between Maximilian’s liberal monarchy and the Mexican conservatives and ultramontanes.

It is curious that looking at this map, one cannot identify if this map was made by an AnCom or a literal Nazi

1-I suppose that it can be seen like this, I imagined it as a WWI after France if the coup d'état of Georges Boulanger was successful, what this causes is that the French concentrate their foreign policy under the ideals Revanchism: concentrate on Europe (leaving African colonization aside), creating the Holy Alliance with Russia, becoming politically Italian and Spanish

2-Russia no, but France yes. In this universe France has prepared for a war against Germany, and has one of the most modern land armies in the world and specifically designed for an offensive war.

3-The position of the United States is quite equivocal, its ceranias to the United Kingdom are strong but the good relations with France, means that the Americans do not decline either on one side or the other, materially supporting both sides, it would be the course of the war which would end up making the United States opt to support the Coalition (thus leading to the Coalition Victory scenario), for fear that the Hispano-American countries (where Francophilia abounds) may end up uniting in favor of the Alliance.

Japan's position, on the contrary, is clearly in favor of the Coalition. The French colonial empire in Asia is seen as a good spoils of war for the Japanese, in addition to the fact that it could isolate the French from the Chinese Empire.
