=== <u>SW Timeline of North America</u> ===
* '''Alaska''': No lore yet. Survives under the premise of Russia having a stronger pacific colonial effort.
Put overarching SW timelines/details for North America here. For country specific information, check country-specific section.
* '''Amerikaanse Free State''': Lore for the Voortrekkers is done, AFS creation lore in the 1903 war is done. But still needs to be written on the wiki. 2nd Boer War (conflict in the 90s) is on hiatus until the rest of the countries are figured out (especially Mexico).

* '''Florida:'''
==== Pre-SW Context ====
* '''Mexico:'''

* '''New England:''' No lore yet, except during the 2nd Anglo-Dutch War (1660) where they lose their claims west of the connecticut river. Other than that, its pretty blank.
* '''1931:''' NNL & Mexico start winding down their economic and political rivalry in the aftermath of the Floridian revolution.

* '''1935''': NNL & Mexico have joint talks about the "European threats".

* '''1937''': New England Independence supported by NNL, Mexico & Virginia
* '''Opdamsland:''' Lore is built up until John White Owl's military junta. Return to democracy lore is still blank. Also, the early lore should probably be worked out too, like how the different tribes got there in the first place. So far we have got the Cherokee, Chickasaw, Shawnee, etc who were pushed out of their homeland by the Iroquois.
* '''1937''': Tussenland pulls out of the Great War in fear of the North American alliance forming- American first parties win power
* '''Rupert's Land:''' Sells a huge land area west of the Nelson river to Tussenland in 1871. The rump Rupert's Land is a british dominion until modern day and is heavily reliant on their neighbors.
* '''1937:''' Mexico and NNL supports Cuban rebels
* '''South Tussenland:''' It is created after the war in 1850-1855, and is basically a theocracy based on Zoekerism, and is predominantly composed of African-descent people. No real lore/events have been created yet after their creation though.

* '''Tussenland:''' Solid lore is done up until the 1861 Tussenland act and is currently being written on the wiki by [[User:Wannabee]]. We have vague lore for the creation of the other provinces as well in the future.
==== SW Part 1 (1935-1965) ====
* '''Virginia:''' Virginia's early 'internal' lore is empty. Needed to be figured out is how the british colonies become one large blob that is Virginia. However, we do know that Virginia gets involved with three wars against britain: (1) British-Virginian War in 1830s due to Britain abolishing slavery, (2) Successfull Virginian Independence war in the 1850s (we need figure out how this ties with the rest of the TL, year is still flexible), and (3) Britain and Virginia get to war over Virginia's colony 'Salvatia' in Africa (britain believes Salvatia's presence disrupts the order in Africa).

* '''1940''': Russia reorganizes Alyeska into a new Autonomous National Republic (protests ensure from Alyeskans who aren't happy with the more direct rule)
* '''1940''': New France starts sliding into Anglo sphere.
* '''1941:''' The Westerzee National Movement starts agitating for a Boer-state in the pacific north-west.
* '''1942''': The British start a process of heavy modernization of their Rupertsland & Greenlandic military bases and depots
* '''1943:''' AFS starts building strong ties with the RNR.
* '''1943''': Mexico & NNL become more concerned with Russian and British encroachment on the continent and talks begin in Tussenlandt for closer ties.
* '''1944:''' Fears of insurgencies in South America and rumors of Russian agents in the ACB islands threatens NNL government.
* '''1945:''' Tensions continue to rise- (British spy discovered sabotaging Mexican Nuclear program?, or maybe something with the Canal?)
* '''1948:''' In a united effort, which includes the formation of a so called American security council Tussenland, Mexico, Virginia, NNL and NE meet to discuss a path forward for pushing European influence out of North America (maybe have success in swaying New France)
* '''1949:''' More formal talks start on the creation of a permanent structure of American cooperation are accelerated when a British bases in Rupertsland is discovered to be outfitted with (Nuclear armed?) long distance bombers (maybe they perform exercises over Tussenland airspace?)
* '''1950:''' American leaders meet in Tussenland to start the formal negotiations of what would eventually become the ANAN
