Such a power will really hurt England. They most likely loose the suez, and there is another maritime power in the Indian ocean capable of opposing them. Namagiri I see this as a near parrellel, rather than a far one. One of those "Pretty much the same, but hey, its different!" worlds.

Re: New Reality Seeds
Why hunt? Just buy some used textbooks at the college bookstores.

It will be a good 20 years behind whatever the intelligence agencies have.

Re: New Reality Seeds
The Confederate States of America convince Great Britain to join in the war in 1860 by offering choice regions of the New England. Specifically, regions the Confederacy has no intention to administer anyway.
The war drags on longer by at least a year, but despite inroads into the north, the South still loses... Mexico, more stable in this TL, claims many key coastal cities in the gulf (at least for a time). GB saw the writing on the wall and solidified its gains on the eastern seaboard. It pushed south and eventually claimed most of the East Coast. By 1868, the only parts of the North American continent controlled by the USA are the west and the midwest. In the rest of the world, Europe sees the gradual fall of France to a Britain allied with Germany, and Japan falls to Russia and China, but only in name; the population remains insurgent and restless. Emboldened by the Russian alliance and secure from Japan, China marches south over the most forbidding mountain range in the world to face British forces in India, and the Empire sees some of its only real losses in the world. Holland's colonial interests, along with some British and Turkish forces, split up Africa in a mostly orderly fashion. It sounds a bit hectic, I suppose. If anyone wants to find out what happens next, check out the vDip game it's based on. |

Re: New Reality Seeds
The Cabal needs special snowflakes, because they are flakes who are truely "special." It comes with being conspiratorial wizardlings.

I'm really having trouble seeing a Sino-Indian war going hot in 1960. Both powers can defend very well and project power rather poorly; both of them have strained relationships with both of the established superpowers, leading to a lot of uncertainty in outcome. I think the most you can get is Mao attempting to invade India and failing to accomplish anything of consequence, followed by a lot of sulking and shrieking all around. (Which might be enough to get the outcome you were looking for.) One other knockon effect will be about a 20 year jump in chemistry. Ramanujan's equations published in the 1910s formed the basis of quantum chemistry in the 1960s; it languished a bit because he wasn't personally able to advocate for his work, and because computers capable of providing real solutions to his equations in a timely manner hadn't been built yet. We start getting some interesting synthetic polymers and such in the 1960s, maybe even the 1950s, if his work has continued and been prominent. |
