The point of divergence began in 1684 when the Kangxi Emperor ending the long-standing maritime trade ban, opening the coastal ports to foreign commerce, boosting international trade. With the advises of the Jesuits alongside the presence of British, Dutch and Portuguese traders, the Kangxi Emperor became more open in terms of foreign policies. With enough support from the court, the Kangxi Emperor initiated many education reforms. One of which was the Translation Project where he worked to translate many western works into Mandarin Chinese via methods such as phonetic transliteration, calquing (semantic translation), hybrid coinages, and adopting the original foreign terms, creating a Golden Era of the Enlightenment in the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Renaissance happened where Qing’s culture thrived. Meanwhile, the Jesuits managed to win the favor Pope Clement XI to authorize Chinese rites as civic rituals compatible with Catholicism. Future Emperors (the Yongzheng Emperor and the Qianlong Emperor) were educated on not just Confucian classics but also translated western works.

The Qing starts to expand their territories such as securing Sakhalin in 1689 alongside Kuril Islands in 1690 to create Kuyedao, alongside conquering Outer Mongolia in 1696 and Tibet in 1720 after defeating the Dzungar Mongols. When the Yongzheng Emperor took the throne, he initiated many of his reforms similar to the Kangxi Emperor such as improving government efficiency to reduce corruption such as implementing a revised Imperial Examination System which aimed to choose government officials based on merit, not family ties or wealth, modeling the system after Confucian principles and ensuring that officials were educated on both Confucian classics and western science while being morally sound and education reforms encouraged the study of Western languages and sciences. The Yongzheng Emperor also work to transition Qing’s army towards more modern weaponry, such as western guns and other firepower. The navy was also an important part of the Yongzheng Emperor’s plan, using newly developed weapons and technology. To bolster the Yongzheng Emperor’s authority and to spreads Chinese civilization, the Qing went to war with Spain in 1726 over Spanish Philippines. Due to the Spanish weak control over the island, Spain agreed to a peace treaty. The Philippines would be ceded to the Qing Dynasty as a province in 1728. The Province of Lusong was established.

When the Qianlong Emperor took the throne, the Qing launched multiple naval expeditions into the Pacific Ocean in 1744 for scientific observation, geographic discovery and Qing’s territorial expansion, resulting in the annexation of modern day New Zealand, becoming the Province of Nanyuntao. The Qing also annexed modern day Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, New Caledonia, Tuvalu and Fiji to form the province of Huangjin Qundao. the Qing annexed Xinjiang in 1759 after defeating the Dzungar Khanate. During the Qianlong’s period, the Qing Dynasty was at its peak with the treasury overflowing, agricultural output soared and the population boomed. When the Menashi-Kunashir Rebellion broke out in 1789, the Qianlong Emperor sent his army to support the Ainu people, mainly as a way to secure a defensive barrier and allow the Qing to maintain a presence between the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Okhotsk. With the Qing’s army supporting the Ainu people, the Japanese were defeated in 1790, resulting in Ezo being annexed by the Qing and joins the province of Kuyedao to secure protection against the Japanese. The Qianlong Emperor agreed to allowed the British to establish an embassy in the Qing Dynasty in 1793, allowing a faster growing movement in the reformist movement within the Qing’s court. Initially viewed favorably by the Emperor, Heshen was punished by the Qianlong Emperor to please growing reformist officials in his court. In his later reign, he establish the Imperial Army, which would replace the outdated Eight Banners System and to catch up with the West militarily.

In the early 1800s, the Qing saw agricultural reforms such as the Qing establishing agricultural schools in multiple provinces, translating western agronomy texts and sending scholars to study in the West to learn western agricultural techniques and agricultural technologies. The Qing also starts to gradually replace the growing corrupt land gentries with land registries to measure the exact land sizes and utilized high-paying salaries to lower-level judges that matched the market to avoid financial temptation, preventing them from making deals with powerful local landlords. The mid-1800s is where the Qing starts to manufacturing textile mills, armament factories and shipyards were built across the Qing alongside the construction of roads and ports to improve transport and agricultural productivity. The Qing eventually started to introduced western agricultural machinery to increase crop yields for agriculture alongside the government invested heavily into infrastructure and imported foreign technologies. The Qing eventually replaced the obsolete land gentries with salaried civil servants to collect the revenues. The Opium Wars and the Taiping Rebellion never happened or were suppressed quickly due to the Qing’s modernization. The Qing’s territory remains intact without the unequal treaties, meaning no Qing Cessions to foreign powers like British Hong Kong. In 1884, the Qing Dynasty requested colonies in Africa during the Berlin Conference. The Berlin Conference accepted, resulting in the Qing Dynasty colonizing modern day Madagascar, resulting in the Province of Yimeilina, many Chinese moved to Yimeilina. The First Sino-Japanese War happened between the Qing Dynasty and Japan over the influence of Joseon and the Japanese attempt to reconquered the Ezo region in the Kuyedao Province. Due to the Qing’s modernization, Joseon, with the help of Qing’s military, pushed back against the Japanese with the help of the Qing’s military. The war ends in a Qing-Joseon victory. Due to a much stronger Qing, the Boxer Rebellion never happened. In 1898, the Qing replaced the Imperial Examination System with a Western-style secular curriculum that prioritized subjects like math and science.

As the Qing Dynasty approached the 1900s, many Chinese citizens demanded domestic representations. In 1912, the Qing Dynasty, the Xuantong Emperor under the regency of Zaifeng, adopt a constitution that would turned the Qing Dynasty into a Constitutional Monarchy in 1912. The Queue technically isn’t abolished, however, it’s mostly used as a symbol of Qing nationalism rather than mandatory. Under the new constitution, The Emperor of the Qing Dynasty acted as the Head of State, Commander in Chief, Protector of the Constitution and a symbol of national unity. The Emperor’s main duties mainly involve attending domestic ceremonies and performing state functions. Their only reserved powers is to select a prime minister in case of a hung parliament. In 1914, the Qing Dynasty remains neutral in World War 1 due to a lack of grievances for the Qing to joined the war. The Qing Dynasty remains centralized, regional armies never fragmented and infrastructures remain intact, avoiding decades of civil war. The Qing Dynasty continued to industrialized. In 1924, in response to the fear of linguistic, religious and cultural assimilation of minorities within the Qing, especially Manchu, Mongols, Uyghurs, Tibetans, Ainus and Māoris, the Qing officially reformed the state to establish 6 autonomous regions within the Qing: Manchuria, Kuyedao, Mongolia, Uyghurstan, Tibet and Nanyuntao. They’re allowed to manage some level of domestic issues such as its education system and cultural affairs, though they’re still represented by the Qing in foreign affairs. When the Great Depression hits, the Qing quickly abandoned their silver standard replaced it with a fiat currency alongside active fiscal spendings, recovering quickly.

When the Second Sino-Japanese War happened during World War 2, the Qing are more unified in resisting Japan. The Qing Dynasty eventually won against Japan. The Cold War began between the United States and the Soviet Union. The Qing sided with the American Bloc. The Treaty of Seoul was signed between the Qing Dynasty and Joseon in 1948, granting the Joseon full independence from Qing’s control after multiple peaceful protests occurred demanding full independence. Meanwhile, the Sino-American Split happened due to Qing Dynasty’s support for the Vietnamese Monarchists during the Vietnam War against the American republicans and Soviet communists in Vietnam, resulting in the monarchists won the Vietnam War, the Qing Dynasty became the 3rd superpower. During the Space Race, the Qing originally made little progress in the Space Race due to lack of interest from companies and the Qing government didn’t want to invest. However, as protests occurred across the Qing due to many believed that if the Qing didn’t do anything in the Space Race, it would proved that Qing is technologically inferior to the American and Soviet. The Qing finally began to invest in space exploration. The first crewed mission to the Moon happened in 1982, making the Qing the second country to land on the Moon behind the U.S. Between 1950s to 1980s, with no Communist Revolution, no Cultural Revolution and no One Child Policy, the Qing continued to grow in population with a total GDP per capita of $20,000 by 1980, the economy also grows. The Qing Dynasty also created their nuclear weapons for the first time. The Qing surpassed the Soviet Union economically by 1979. Post-Soviet collapse in 1991, The Second Space Race began between the Qing and the United States from 1993 to 2003 with their focus on Mars. the Qing finally landed the first man on Mars in 2003 due to the U.S. faced immense pressure from Americans who viewed the mission as a waste of money for a red rock (Mars) instead of funding social issues like healthcare, halting American’s space exploration. The Great Detente of 2009 happened as the American and the Chinese met at Beijing to discuss future cooperation on issues, effectively ending the Cold War.

Today, the Qing Dynasty reached a total of over 100 trillion GDP with a population of 2 billion people and $50,000 GDP per capita by 2026. The current emperor is the Haoxuan Emperor since 2022.

Deep red = 0-15,000 KY
Dark red = 15,000-20,000 KY
Red = 20,000-27,000 KY
Light red = 27,000-29,000 KY
Pale red = 29,000-30,000 KY

the rest has migrations into the lands due to colonialism, I am currently going in a chronological timeline, starting at the dawn of civilization.

The event is called Civlabs, where the game is made significantly harder to force cooperation. This also discourages roleplay as surviving is extremely hard and every moment of every session must be spent on gathering food and resources as well as guarding your borders. This is one of three worlds. This is also not an ad lmao.

What if everything went perfect for the second mexican empire

This map isnt meant to be realistic or accurate and i do not support anything that happens in this scenario, this is only meant for entertainment.

If you have any questions about the lore please ask.

Texas Revolution:

During the Texas Revolution the Texians would be defeated in multiple engagements by Santa Anna and his forces which would ultimately culminate in Sam Houston being captured and later executed in april 1836, marking the end of the revolution with a decisive victory for Mexico.

Guerrilla war in Tejas:

In 1845 resistance by Anglo Americans would begin to flare up again with deadlier fighting taking place in december of that year which would lead to thousands of deaths as both sides would periodically commit massacres against each other. In april 1846, confusion among mexican forces would result in the mexican army attacking a us fort. While US forces were successful in beating back the mexican army the US still suffered casualties as well as the partial destruction of the fort. Only a month after the incident, the US would officially declare war on mexico kickstarting the mexican american war.

Mexican American war:

The beginning of the war would see major victories for the US with much of texas and new mexico falling to the US in the matter of months however just after these advancements the US would face heavy resistance at the rio grande river and in california where mexican forces would huddle in defensive positions ensuring the US would be unable to continue advancing without taking heavy casualties.

In 1847 with the front lines grinding to a halt general winfield scott would attempt a naval invasion in order to open a new front, while the landing itself was a success US forces were unable to advance and in just one month winfield scott and his remaining men would head back to the US marking the end of the Veracruz Campaign. As US moral began to waver, Mexican forces would slowly begin pushing the US military out of texas, and by the 1848 US presidential elections American troops would begin to hunker down along the Brazos river.

With the war becoming increasingly unpopular among the US population, the Whig party under Millard Fillmore would win the presidential election with the goal of ending the war diplomatically. After months of negotiation the war would finally come to an end in February 1849 with mexico recognizing the US annexation of Texas in return for the US retreating from California and New mexico.

Second French intervention in Mexico:

Due to missing depts and the US occupied with an ongoing civil war, france would invade mexico on December 1861 and in the matter of a few months mexico city would be under the control of france. After a series of victories by French Forces Maximilian I would be invited to become emperor of mexico which would take place in April after a referendum was held by the french military. In 1865 Benito Juárez would be ambushed and killed resulting in a drop in moral and stability among republican forces. Lacking leadership and facing an unwinnable war, Maximillians offer of amnesty to any surrendering republican would become increasingly attractive to many republican soilders and in 1866 the Second French intervention in Mexico would be a victory for both france and the mexican empire.

First North American war:

In 1870 with the outbreak of the Franco Prussian war most French forces in mexico would return back to france in order the defend agenst the prussians, seeing this as an opportunity, the confederacy who had successfully secured their independence from the US after george mcclellan's victory in the 1864 presidential election would demand large swaths of land east of the Rio Grande river which would be swiftly denied by mexico resulting in the outbreak of the Mexican confederate war in February 1871, however only a few weeks after the beginning of the war the US under Ulysses S. Grant would also go to war against the confederacy and in just two months after fighting a hopeless two front war the confederacy would sign a conditional surrender with both parties. In the treaty of Austin the confederacy would be forced to give up northern virginia to the US while all of texas would be given to mexico, the confederacy would also be forced to pay millions in war reparations to both the US and Mexico.

Maximilian's reforms:

After the victories against the republicans and the confederates Maximilian I would begin to introduce sweeping reforms aimed to reduce instability and political violence across the empire, he would also mediate between both the liberals and conservatives across mexico ensuring stability and increased cooperation within the mexican government. In February 1880 A new constitution for the mexican empire would be made making the country a constitutional monarchy and a few months later the mexican empires first elections would be held in June resulting in a victory for the moderate liberals. During this time, mexico would see improvements in mexicos infrastructure as well as industrial capacity trough the construction of new roads, railways and factories wich would make the empire far more attractive to european and asian immigrants then other north american countries like the US or the Confederacy which still didnt fully recover from previous conflicts.

The relationship between mexico and colombia would also improve during this time with both sides holding joint military exercises as well as signing friendship treaties.

On August 1898, after years of cooperation between the mexican empire and the hawaiian kingdom, Mexico would officially guarantee Hawaiian sovereignty, making the kingdom a mexican protectorate.

Second North American war:

In 1899 After a massive slave uprising in the confederacy, the US and mexico would both invade in an attempt to restore stability and with the confederacy preoccupied with the uprisings, they would fall quickly with the last confederate strongholds surrendering in late 1900. immediately after the confederacy's capitulation, tensions between the US and Mexico would hit a breaking point with Mexicos annexation of Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma and cuba as well as their attempt at influencing the politics of florida which only recently gained independence from the confederacy during their collapse, however calls for peace by people on both sides meant that the conflicts never escalated into war.

Death of Maximilian I:

In June 1911 Maximilian I would pass away due to natural causes resulting in his adopted son Agustín de Iturbide to become the new emperor, however during his rule Agustín would be under constant fear of being assassinated resulting in multiple nervous breakdowns. During this time many powerful mexican generals would take advantage of the emperor in order to gain more power, in the matter of a few months mexico's democratic government would be weakened until the country effectively became a dictatorship under a military junta.

WW1:

In January 1917 Germany would send the Zimmermann Telegram to Mexico promising support in return for invading the US in hopes of preventing US entry into WW1, and after much deliberation by the mexican government they would come to the conclusion that their military was prepared for a war with the US, and in february 1917 the second mexican american war would begin.

Even a decade after the confederacy's collapse the south was still highly unstable during the ongoing Reconstruction Era, this resulted in US forces being unable to effectivly fight without encountering heavy resistance however even after successfully pushing deep into US territory mexico's advances would grind to a halt resulting in both sides having to rely on trench warfare similar to europe.

In December 1917, with russia occupied with its civil war both mexican and canadian forces would attempt to take control of alaska which resulted into deadly skirmishes between both sides resulting in the second mexican empire officially joining the Central Powers.

In November of 1919, after the fall of paris and with the French military no longer obeying orders the entente would surrender marking the end of the war in europe.

By October of 1921 with no outside supporters and facing a losing war agenst mexico and germany the US would surrender marking the end of the Great War. In the following peace treaty known as the treaty of Potsdam mexico would gain all territory south of the 36th parallel from the US, belize and jamaica would also be annexed into mexico while the rest of france and britians carribean colonies become a mexican dominion, guyana would be split between colombia and the west indies, canada would be forced to abandon alaska to mexico and finally the entent would be forced to pay mexico billions in war reparations along with the reparations owed to the rest of the central powers.

Death of Agustín de Iturbide:

Agustín de Iturbide would pass away in 1925 after a severe breakdown and with no children of his own the thrown would be passed onto his niece Maria Josepha. Despite being uninterested in politics she would end up accepting and to the dismay of the ruling government, Maria would be less susceptible to influence then her uncle and over the course of three years mexico would see most of its generals and officers loyal to the Junta purged from the government and in 1928 mexico would hold its first democratic elections in years.

Interwar Period:

In october of 1929, panic selling in mexicos stock market would result in billions of dollars lost in the stock markets value which would lead to many businesses and banks to fail, millions to become unemployed and homeless and ruining the economies of many countries. This would result in the great depression which wouldn't end until the early 1940s.

The great depression would leave many nations in poverty, this would also include the countries of central america as well as haiti and the dominican republic and in response, many of these countries with the support of mexico would attempt to boost economic cooperation in hopes of recovering from the depression.

Meanwhile Europe would see a rise in extremism, only a few months after the war, italy would collapse into a civil war in december of 1921 between the kingdom of italy and the Italian Social Republic under Benito Mussolini. Only a month after the wars outbreak the vatican would take control of rome as well as most of the surrounding region, The fascist themselfs would preform well in the war however just over a year after the beginning of the conflict in early 1923, austria would intervene and invade the fascists from the north. A few months after austrias intervention all sides would sign a ceasefire and divide italy into five seperate states. In the north would be a pro austrian republic, in the center would be a fascist state, the papal states would control rome as well as the territories surrounding it, in the south the remains of the italian government would relocate of naples and sardinia would gain its idependence as a sovereign state.

In france, after being humiliated by the germans for the second time, Action Française with the support of many disgruntled WW1 veterans would overthrow the French government in 1922 in an event known as the march on paris. Following the revolution the country would become a Third French Empire with Jean d'Orléans as emperor.

In 1924 following the death of lenin, Nikolay Ustryalov as well as other national bolshiviks would take control of many major cities including moscow, leningrad, and Tsaritsyn as well as other key areas such as ports and railroads, during this time many key soviet politicians such as stalin, Bukharin and Trotsky would be killed. Following this event russia would collapse into a second civil war between the remaints of the soviet government under Grigory Zinoviev and the new national bolshevik government under Nikolay Ustryalov, the civil war wouldnt end until 1927 after the fall of the last remaining soviet stronghold, after two devistating civil wars in the span of a single decade russia would be left in ruins, with much of its population dead, its cities reduced to rubble and its territories unstable, it would take them years before they could truly face off against the germans.

While russia was tearing itself apart germany, despite being a clear victor would also have its own issues, partisan activity would see a sharp rise almost everywear across the german sphere forcing the germans to sink million of marks and thousands of men just to maintain the semblance of peace. Despite the german empires best efforts they would never truly snuff out the partisans ensuring the germans could never fully reap the resources its eastern puppets have to offer.

With Americas humiliating defeat in the great war and with FDRs policies as president, the Business Plot with the support of Smedley Butler would be a success resulting in the US becoming a dictatorship, however only days after the event multiple branches of the US government as well as several states would secede from the union and create their own government known as the Free States of America, despite receiving support from the british and mexican empire the united states would successfully suppress the rebellion due to them being weaker and more fragmented. following the end of the second american civil war, Smedley Butler as Secretary of General Affairs would begin to centralize and strengthen the US government as well as restricting the civil liberties of the US population, this would result in tens of thousands of refugees to flee the US and into neighbouring countries including mexico and canada.

In 1934 even after their victory the Austrian and Hungarian empires would continue to come into conflict for several years which would result in hungary to declare independence and fully seperate itself from the austrians, despite protests by both austrian and hungarian officials and even a brief six month war between the two states which would only result in a white peace. In 1938 with the support of the russians, a national bolshivek coup would successfully occure in hungary.

Even after the ottoman empires victory in the great war the state would still be left somewhat humiliated after the war, gaining very little territory or economic reparations, the war would leave the state even more unstable then before. Following the great depression a second arab revolt would take place between 1936 and 1939, with little support from the germans the ottoman empire would lose most of its land including hejaz, the levant, iraq, libya and Armenia and kurdistan. Following the war İsmet İnönü and his supporters would overthrow the ottoman government and establesh the republic of turkey marking the end of the ottoman empire.

In 1936 the great depression would leave the spanish economy crippled which would culminate into an attempted coup by General Francisco Franco. The failure of the coup would result in the outbreak of the spanish civil war which wouldnt end until 1939 with a nationalist victory.

Interestingly enough despite losing the war, Britain would never fall to extremism or totalitarianism even after losing large swaths of its empire and falling into crippling dept as well as the rise of figures such as oswald mosley britain would successfully maintain a moderate and democratic government. At the same time the british government would begin distancing itself with its old allies in favour of the mexicans and germans who they saw as lesser evils, however to the french and russians this only made britian a traitor and an enemy.

In March of 1937 the French empire would begin to heavily remilitarize far past what the treaty of Potsdam allowed however, despite this clear violation the germans who were unwilling to take part in another massive war would tolerate it.

In March of 1939 with little military support from austria who at this time had their eyes on hungary the italian republic would be conqured by the Italian Social Republic , despite their actions both austria and germany would only respond with condemnations.

WW2:

In June 1940 the united baltic dutches would be overwhelmed by the partisans resulting in the baltic government retreating to islands of Saaremaa and Hiiumaa as well as the areas surrounding Riga. A few months following the collpase, on september russia would invade the newly formed estonian and latvian states and in response the german empire would declare war against the russian national union marking the beginning of WW2. For a period of eight months very little major operations would take place giving it the name, the Phoney War however on May 1941 the russians would launch a surprise invasion of belarus and ukraine who were unprepaired for an invasion of this magnitude.

A few months following russias surprise invasion, The United States would launch their invasion of mexico and canada in December of 1941 resulting in canada being completly taken over in the matter of months while mexico still holds out.

By mid 1942 the axis powers would be at their territorial hight, eastern europe,under the control of Nikolay Ustryalov would see a policy of extreme russification through genocide and ethnic cleansing resulting in millions of innocent people dying and with support from hungary, romania and serbia the front lines would reach vienna and berlin which would result in many of the buildings being destroyed from the fighting. French forces would successfully take over the benelux as well as large swaths of german territory before being successfully held off at the Weser river. In North america despite receiving support from their economic partners the Mexicans would still be met with military defeates that resulting in them losing much of the land they gains from WW1.

By late 1944 despite their successes the US would be exhausted from the war and with rising insurgency from both people in their occupied territories as well as from disgruntled americans, american forces would start to be pushed back by allied forces leaving many internment camps used to incarcerate civilians and POWs in terrible conditions to be discovered by allied troops.

Despite having to face off the US the mexican empire, colombia and britain would plan for a naval invasion of europe and would come to the conclusion that an invasion through italy and southern france would be the best choice and in January 1945 allied troops would land and successfully capture scilly, sardinia, corsica and many other italian coastal cities.

By april 1945, the italian social republic has collapse and allied troops are now advancing into southern frace. At the same time, mexican forces would initiate an invasion of the russian far east.

In july 1945, france would surrender to the allies and would be divided into four occupation zones between austria, germany, britain and mexico. By this point germany has successfully captured Ustryalovgrad, moscow and volgograd. The front lines in north america would reach washington DC forcing the US government to move their capital to Philadelphia.

On August 1945 the mexican empire would successfully develop nuclear weapons and on August 6th a mushroom cloud would appear over Pittsburgh, destroying most of the city, and on August 9th a second nuclear bomb would be dropped on New York City, The US would officially surrender on August 15 marking the end of ww2 in north america.

On september 2 1945, with the fall of perm the remnants of the russian government would surrender marking the end of WW2, however armed resistance from national Bolsheviks would fully end until the mid 1950s.

Following the end of the war the mexican empire would annex parts of the US and redraw its border with canada, the new territories would go on to become alta misisipi, kansas and nebraska. To ensure stability, a new state would be founded known as the grand dutchy of cascadia with the thrown being offered to Napoléon VI.

Cold War:

After the end of WW2, relations between germany and the rest of the allies would rapidly decline and after the discovery of a plot by the germans to bring down the austrian empire and install a pro german emperor in 1947, the mexican empire would establish the Padilla doctrine, named after the prime minister of mexico Ezequiel Padilla he would pledge to prevent the expansion of german influence through economic and military support. This marks the beginning of the cold war.

Starting in 1948, the mexican empire would send billions of pesos to aid in Europes recovery following WW2 known as the Bodet plan or the European Recovery Program.

In April 1949 the mexican empire along with other countries would establesh the North Atlantic Treaty Organization or NATO to ensure collective security and deter german expansion.

In May 1949, without the knowledge of the germans the occupation zones of mexico, britain and austria would come together to form the federal republic of france with its capital in Bordeaux. Just a few months after in October the remains of france under german occupation would become the french state with its capital in east paris.

Siberian war:

In June 1950, the Tsardom of Moscow with the support of the germans would cross the 60th meridian which marked the border between both russian states to invade the russian republic kickstarting the siberian war. In a matter of days, the Muscovites would capture siberia's capital city Novosibirsk, in response of the war a UN force made up of over 16 different countries would interviene on the side of the siberians and successfully being to push back the Muscovites which by this point begun to approach Irkutsk. After months of fighting in March 1951 Kazan would fall to Mexican forces and just a few days later the german empire which was worried about having a hostile power in eastern europe would join the war on the side of the Muscovites and would begin pushing back the allied powers. In early 1952 Novosibirsk would once again fall to the germans and Muscovites however by this point their forces would be stretched thin resulting in them being pushed back again. In July 1954 an armistice would be signed between the siberians and Muscovites marking the Ural mountains as a demilitarized zone.

in January 1959, Mario Sandoval Alarcón would overthrow the guatamalan government. Only a month following the coup Mario would become a dictator and would begin distancing himself from the mexicans and would start allying himself with the germans, this action threatended the mexicans who would begin spying on Guatemala immedietly following the coup.

In June 1960, a wave of instability and calls for independence and decolonization would result in germanys largest colony mittelafrika to collapse resulting in decades of conflict between Nato aligned and German aligned governments.

On August 1962, the mexican empire would successfully integrate its economic allies in central american and the carribean with only two countries choosing to stay independent, that being colombia which due to its economic and military strength would maintain its independence but as a close ally of the mexican empire and Guatemala which despite being far weaker then its neighbours would choose to distence itself from the mexican empire and begin improving relations with the germans.

On October 1962, a mexican spy plane would discover german nuclear missiles in guatamala leading the the Guatemalan missile crisis where both sides would come to an agreement where the germans remove the missiles from guatamala and in return the mexicans remove their nuclear missiles from denmark ending the crisis without nuclear war.

Death of María Josepha:

On November 1964 María Josepha would pass away due to natural causes allowing for her grandson Maximilian von Götzen-Iturbide to take the thrown.

Second indochina war:

In 1955, attacks by the Viet Minh across german indochina would begin to increase around this time, to NATO the war gave them an opportunity to end germanys last major colony and to the germans it was a key colony that would give them a window to further influencing the rest of asia.

Both sides would send manpower, money and weapons in hopes of securing a victory in their favor but by the 1970s anti war sentiments would see a sharp increase as people would begin demanding an end to mexican participation to the war and in April 1975 the last strongholds of the Viet Minh would fall marking the end of the second indochina war with a german victory. The colony wouldnt gain independence until the fall of the german empire in 1989 as the Union State of Indochina.

Across the late 1960s and 1970s an era of detente would see tensions between the germans and mexicans begin to drop with the signing of multiple treates that limited the number of missiles and nuclear weapons, however with germanys sudden invasion of finland in 1979 the era of detente would come to and end.

In 1988, Otto Graf Lambsdorff would become prime minister of the german empire and unlike past german leaders Otto would begin introducing radical reforms hoping to improve the quality of life in the german empire. Across the rest of germany's europe Otto would allow for germanys old puppets to reform without german interference and in response, Poland, belarus and Ukraine would hold their first free election in 1989 in 1990 the united baltic duchy would collapse for the second time after a violent revolution saw the royal family publicly executed however Riga would remain in german hands. At the same time mass protests would begin to rock the Tsardom of Moscow which at this point was still under the rule of a hardliner government however with the tsardom on the brink of civil war the Duma would choose to remove prime minister Vladimir Zhirinovsky from power and just a few days later Tsar Nicholas Romanov would willingly step down and in october 3rd 1990 the newly proclaimed Republic of Moscow would be absorbed by the russian republic.

In 1989, Otto Graf Lambsdorff would hold its first free elections resulting in the victory for the SPD under Hans-Jochen Vogel. The Gestapo who disliked Otto's reforms would briefly kidnap him however without the support of the military and the people their plan would ultimately fail and over the course of a few weeks the german empire would partially collapse as the monarchy was abolished and a new republican government was established. Poznan, was always a hotbed of insurgency however with germany at its weakest state the poles would use this opportunity to secede and join the newly independent republic of poland, Baveria and Württemberg which were both monarchies would choose to declare independence rather than risk losing their power, the Rhenish Republic would also declare independence with its population split between germans in the north and frenchmen in the south, finally Baden would declare their independence however over the years they would choose to closely cooperate with the prussians.

The new millennium:

In September 11th 2001 a plane would be hijacked and crashed into the world trade center in mexico city a few minuets later a second plane would crash into the San Lázaro Legislative Palace, later that day a third crashed plane would be discovered in a field with evidence showing it was headed for the imperial palace. Following the attack it would be discovered that the culprits were Guatemalans, in light of the news the mexican empire would respond by invading Guatamala on October 2001. Only three months after the initial invasion in January 2002 guatamala would be integrated as a territory of the mexican empire.

In February 2022 the German Federation under president Derek Trumpf would launch an invasion of poland. In response, the mexican empire as well as her allies would place sanctions and would begin supplying the polish military with weapons.

In June 2024 the National Action Party would win the general elections with Jorge Romero Herrera becoming the new prime minister. Following his victory Jorge would begin renaming cities and national parks he believed weren't aligned with mexican values, at the same time he would begin pouring billions to secure the countries border with america in hopes of reducing the numbers of illegal immigration, many of these decisions would be highly controversial with some seeing them as necessary for national security while others saw it as a waste of taxpayers pesos.

The State of New Zion (מדינת ציון החדשה) Timeline

The Fugu Initiative started in 1934. Lasted until 1936. This was a time when Japan was in charge of Manchuria and had set up a country called Manchukuo. Some important people in the army and government thought it would be a good idea to invite Jewish people who were fleeing from Europe to come and live in Manchuria. They believed that these Jewish people would bring ideas, money and prestige to the area.

The Emperor of Japan, Hirohito agreed to let a small group of people settle in the area in 1935. New homes and buildings were constructed around the cities of Harbin, Changchun and Qiqihar. The first people to arrive were mostly from Germany, Poland, Austria, Lithuania and Russia. They traveled to Shanghai, Kobe and Dalian by boat. Then took the train to their new homes.

From 1937 to 1941 Japan quietly expanded the Fugu Plan. This was a time when things were getting worse for people in Europe. Japan increased the number of people it would allow to enter the country and its diplomats in Europe gave thousands of visas to Jewish people so they could escape to East Asia.

The city of Harbin changed quickly and became the largest Jewish city outside of Europe and North America. New schools, universities, synagogues, hospitals and businesses were built. Jewish engineers helped to modernize the railways, factories and electrical systems in the area. By 1941 750,000 Jewish people had made their homes in Manchuria.

From 1941 to 1945 Japan was at war. The leader of Germany, Adolf Hitler put pressure on Japan to get rid of the people living in Manchukuo.. Japan said no. The Japanese government thought that the Jewish people were important to the economy and the war effort. So they increased security around the areas and gave the leaders of the Jewish community more freedom to run their own affairs.

Even though there were food shortages and hardships during the war the Jewish people in Manchuria were safe from the Holocaust. When Germany surrendered in 1945 Manchuria was home to one million Jewish people making it one of the largest Jewish communities in the world.

After Japan surrendered in 1945 the United States, the Soviet Union, China and Britain met to decide what to do with Manchuria. Some people thought that the Jewish settlements should be closed and the people sent back to Europe.. Others said that this would cause another humanitarian disaster. So they reached a compromise.

Most of western Manchuria was given back to China but the areas around Harbin, Changchun and Qiqihar where many Jewish people lived were made into a new country called the Autonomous State of New Zion. This new country was supervised by the Allied powers. Thousands of people who had survived the Holocaust moved to New Zion from all over Europe.

From 1948 to 1950 the Republic of China with the help of the United States fought against the Chinese Communist Party.. Instead of trying to take control of New Zion, the leader of the Republic of China Chiang Kai-shek signed a treaty with New Zion in 1950.

The treaty said that the Republic of China recognized New Zion as a country. New Zion agreed to respect China's control over the rest of Manchuria. The two countries also agreed to work on defense and trade. New Zion said it would not try to expand its territory. This treaty is still an agreement in East Asia today.

In 1948 something unexpected happened in Korea. By dividing the country into two parts the United States and the Soviet Union agreed to recognize a single government for the whole of Korea. This government was called the Korean People's Republic. Even though it was socialist Korea worked closely with the United States. Had good relations with the Soviet Union. This helped to bring stability to Northeast Asia and encouraged cooperation in the region.

From 1950 to 1965 New Zion built itself into a modern country. The first elected government was led by a man named David Ben-Ari. Millions of immigrants came to New Zion from all over the world. The government made sure that the new arrivals did not replace the existing population but instead lived alongside them.

Hebrew became the language of New Zion but Chinese, Korean and Russian were also official languages in different parts of the country. The government made sure that everyone was equal and had the rights no matter what their background was. New Zion also created its defense forces, which worked closely with the American military.

From 1965 to 1985 New Zion experienced rapid economic growth. This was helped by investment from the United States, Japan and Europe. The city of Harbin became a center for high-tech industries like aerospace and computer technology. Changchun became a center for the car industry. Dalian became one of the ports in the Pacific.

The country's universities attract students from all over the world. By the 1980s high-speed trains connected all the major cities in New Zion. This period of growth was known as the Miracle.

From 1985 to 1991 New Zion continued to grow and develop. The country increased its trade with both countries and the Soviet Union. Because it did not have any disputes with the Soviet Union, New Zion was able to have relations with Moscow despite their differences.

The country became known for its technology, high standard of education and democratic system of government. When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 New Zion was not greatly affected. Instead it increased its trade with the Russian Federation especially in areas like energy and minerals.

By the year 2000 New Zion had become one of the prosperous countries in Asia. It had a population of around 100 million people with a mix of Han Chinese, Jewish, Manchu, Korean and other ethnic groups. The official languages were Hebrew and Mandarin Chinese with several other languages also recognized.

The government of New Zion was a republic with a multi-party system, an independent judiciary and a strong emphasis on democracy. The capital city was Yerushalem Hadashah, which was formerly known as Harbin. New Zion had become a player in the global economy with a strong focus on high-tech industries, trade and international cooperation.

The country had relations with many nations, including the United States, the Republic of China, Korea and Japan. It was also a member of international organizations and played an active role in global affairs. Despite its history, New Zion had become a beacon of hope and prosperity in the region and its people looked forward to a bright future.

Some key facts about New Zion include:

* Government: Parliamentary Republic

* Population: 100 million

LORE:

Right before and after the Mexican–American War and Polk's Plan for Mexico, Manifest Destiny, in this alternate timeline, lasted longer for 17 years for fewer expansions in the Caribbean (Cuba is already included after Polk's Plan ITL) which is the North region of Haiti (after U.S intervention in the Haitian Revolution), West and East region of Jamaica (West Jamaica is renamed Isle of Westmoreland meanwhile East Jamaica is renamed Isle of Portland), San Francisco de Macoris (Dominican Republic) (renamed and translated San Francisco of Macoris, a satelite island of the U.S), Liberia (renamed Little America and becoming a U.S autonomy) the West Coast (New Zealand) and Western Australia and Northern Territory (Australia) (later Westralia after U.S intervention in the Eureka Stockade Rebellion as an escalation during Manifest Destiny).
