The Great War drastically altered the map of the old world and created many new nations. The war, either directly or indirectly, was also the cause of several revolutions, most notably the Indian and New England independence movements. The war was also capitalized on by several neutral nations, such as [[SIam|Siam]] (which declared war on the British protectorate of Konbaung), and Mexico and New Netherland (which supported a revolution in Cuba ousting the pro-British government, and supporting the New England independence movement).

=== Technological ===
Many advancements were made during the Great War, especially in the field of medicine, clothes manufacturing, and military weaponry. One of the hallmarks of the Great War was the heavy use of cryptography by the Tripartite Coalition. In particular, the development of the MC12, a rotor machine developed by French mathematician [[Adelaide de Chantereine]] spearheaded the development of modern cryptography and computing. Chantereine would later be regarded as the founder of modern computer science.
