Crimea-2

This parallel diverges early in the Crimean War. The British forces were led by a different officer because the originally assigned officer died of food poisoning. Where in Homeline history the opportunity of a surprise attack was dismissed, in this Q6 Low Mana parallel, it was taken. The city of Sebastopol fell with shocking speed.

The lessons that the western allies learned from this war in Homeline history were ignored here. Except in Russia. As in Homeline history the Czar and the Russian court pursued industrialization and the modernization of the military.

The local year is 1890. Although America learned brutal lessons from the ACW Europe's militaries are surprisingly old fashioned, except for Russia.

Florence Nightingale still modernized nursing but logistical support of Soldiers (outside of the USA and Russia) resembles the 1840s on Homeline.

Centrum is trying to modernize the British military. Homeline is trying to keep Centrum from taking over the parallel. The Cabal is more focused on gaining influence in the USA. Hollywood is coming. They have plans for that.
