Does USA NOT gobble up Mexico in any of Tims projections?

Sometimes they also invade English Canada.  Because for some reason, American territorial aggrandisement cannot defeat pseudo-French speakers.

Wrong.

Also, the likelyhood of America being strong enough to wrest away northern Mexico is nil.

I'd agree if strength meant desire of the populace. We've no need or will to add shitty Mexico to our country. That would do away with the only good things about it (cheap, cheap vacationing).

Well, that and America wasn't a military giant back then.

1920- Five years after the end of the Great War.

In 3 years of carnage in which 6.5 million were slain, the Triple Alliance of Germany, Russia and Italy decisively defeated the Quintuple Entente of France, Britain, Japan, Austria-Hungary and the Ottoman Empire.

Yet the Germans didn't get Alsace-Lorraine.  Right.   

[Ed Anger]

lulz.

Tim bashing makes me happy.

We were stronger than we were in the 1840s when we beat them the first time.

Wouldn't they have already had it?  Maybe they gave it back after winning.

Not relative to Mexican strength.

They have Alsace-Lorraine and Luxembourg. The base map I used as all the world's provinces on it so I know I'm right about Alsace at least. The Germans only took about a quarter of Lorraine so I suppose I could have erred in how much I gave them but it looks right to me.

Italy's invaded Ottoman Libya and the conflict spiraled out of control.

That's not true, the difference in strength was far more
pronounced at the beginning of the 20th century.

As for the provinces annexed, they weren't heavily
populated at the time. They could be developed into
non-shitty places Garbon.
