Timeline-191: The First Great War

Description

Alternate Wiki Info-Box for the First Great War, from the Timeline-191 novel series by Harry Turtledove.

In the series' history, the CSA wins the Civil War due to the Army of Northern Virginia's recovery of Robert E Lee's Special Order 191 (In our world the order remained lost). This is TTL's equivalent of WWI, with the USA and CSA on opposite sides of the European Alliance system, bringing the Great war to North America. The CSA allies with Britain and France, who first recognized her Independence and remained her ally during the Second Mexican War, while the US joins the Central Powers, the US having gone into an alliance with the German Empire after its humiliating defeat in the Second Mexican War in 1882.

Update: I re-uploaded the info-box with some minor edits/corrections.

great job!

A suggestion: The Wiki Info Box for WWI lists the casualties for the major belligerent powers.  Obviously a little poetic licencing would be required on your part but Turtledove gives us a hint of casualties suffered on the North American continent on page 553 of Breakthroughs.  "Better- no worse- than a million dead on our side, likely not far from that for you, and even more wounded..." Col Irving Morrell, USA.  

Wounded ratios were typically twice the number of KIA for all combatants (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wa…) so given this you could extrapolate the following:

USA KIA: 1.1 Million, WIA 2.4 million; CSA KIA 900,000, with perhaps 1.7 WIA.  

As for regular Entente casualties you could assume that German and French casualties would perhaps be reduced slightly given that this alternate timeline Great War lasted about a year less than in OTL (Sept 1917 versus November 1918).  The exception would be the British Empire, which undoubtedly would have suffered significantly higher casualties in this alternate timeline given their commitments to fighting both the Germans in Europe and the USA in Canada coupled with losses suffered by the Royal Navy in the Atlantic (destruction of most of her merchant marine/convoys in 1917 and in/around the Sandwich Islands (Battle of Pearl Harbor which resulted in the loss of the entire defending Royal Navy squadron and land forces (1914), as well as Battle of the Three Navies, 1916).

Just a suggestion if you get bored!  well done.
