Hi Reddit! :)

I'm currently working on a timeline of the Althistory wiki on Fandom, the gimmick is that every page is presented as an article on an AH Wikipedia, as if the event actually happened.

In case you were wondering, yes, this is yet another CSA victory scenario, this time they win pretty much almost immediately and there isn't a civil war. (There kind of is a civil war later on, but we'll get to that in a moment. :P)

The thing that sets this apart from every other CSA victory scenario is that both world wars don't happen because the events in late-19th century America alters geopolitics quite a bit. (Mainly due to a distrust in democracy.)

In this TL, Lincoln is blamed for the loss of the southern states, and in 1864 he isn't even renominated at the Republican convention, in which Salmon P. Chase, a much more extreme Republican, is nominated instead. Chase then loses the presidential election to Clement Vallandigham, a northern Democrat in favor of normalizing relations with the Confederate States. Vallandigham is shot in Boston on August 1, 1866, dying the next day. The assassination sparks a series of riots and massacres that eventually leads to a war that cripples the United States. Britain and France also get involved. The United States is later dissolved on August 22, 1869. ITT, the United States, not managing to last even a century, is seen in a similar fashion to the Soviet Union IOT, a failed experiment with a new concept of government, so republicanism (and democracy to an extent) is seen as a failed system of government that causes instability, and as such Europe stays mainly monarchist, even some already existing democracies become more reactionary.

What I just typed probably takes a lot of thinking outside the box to implement in a realistic way, so that's why I'm making this post. I only have one brain, and the project started in January and hasn't really gotten anywhere. (The encyclopedia has only two pages lol. :P)

I'm open with working with anybody regardless of political ideology, country, or language (I might make foreign-language versions of the articles in the long-term future, plus I love learning about different cultures! :D) I might make a Discord server to organize the project more neatly, though I don't really know what this sub's rules are on that.

I hope I'll be able to get at least maybe around 100 pages done by 2028! Also, sorry if I broke any rules while making this post, as this is probably the longest Reddit post I've ever made! :P

Let's get thinking everyone! :D
