What Madness Is This? An Alternate History Wiki

<mainpage-leftcolumn-start />
Welcome to the !
Welcome to the wiki for "What Madness Is This?": a dystopian AlternateHistory.com timeline written by Napoleon53. WMIT chronicles a world of hope and broken dreams, where the oppressed yearn to become the oppressors, and where liberty finds its last hope at the point of a sword.
When the United States of America accepted the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union as law in 1783, no one knew what would become of America. In the wake of George Washington's death and the corrupt dealings of the Federalist Party, the United States collapsed under its own weight. Meanwhile, Napoleon Bonaparte defeats the world-spanning British Empire and Napoleonic France becomes the new global hegemon.
Things quickly turn sideways. The French force the Republican Union of America (the U.S. remnant in the North stretching from Ohio to Maine) into an alliance with the Southron remnants (Maryland, Virginia, Carolina, and Georgia) to defeat British Canada. Things go poorly, and the Canadians essentially raze the RU, while the French and Southrons refuse to help until it's too late. In the aftermath of the Napoleonic Wars, the Republican Union barely survives. The betrayal of their allies and the devastation wrought upon them by the Canadians totally and irreversibly twists the American psyche, leading to the rise of the nationalist and racialist American Fundamentalist Church. In the aftermath, the RU slowly devolves from an expansionist, revanchist state into the world's first fascist, cultist dictatorship as its society develops along lines both recognizable and alien to us.
And it just gets worse from here....
