China from 1937 to 1894 (start of the First Sino-Japanese War) How much of China? Situation 1937:
Marco Polo Bridge incident 7 July 1937.
All of it, from right before the Marco Polo bridge incident. Manchuria doesn't go obviously. |

All of it, from right before the Marco Polo bridge incident. Manchuria doesn't go obviously. Obviously - it would have been a little too interesting I guess. Seems to me the Chinese - if they are able to get their house in order within a short time may win this one once hostilities break out though they have to move through the Japanese puppet in the NE to get to Machuria and then Korea. And have a lot of Warlords in the back. I don't expect it to be a quick easy win for either part. Even though the Chinese seems to have the modern Navy the question is if they are able to use it. Chennault isn't in China yet so I just hope the locals will be able to use that for superiority to control things.

Aren't the German trained divisions basically OP for the Japanese military of 1894? |

A big tech wank of the entire world. You're ISOTing a modern country to the Renaiśsance. I expect antibiotics and computers to be widely available all over the world by 1540s-50s i also expect Filipino mercenaries to fight in wars all over the world. Tagalog will become the lingua franca of the world, replacing Latin in Europe. |

In fact, the airmy, navy, and the air force at this period is at worst for wear. The modern airplanes in the international airports as Manila, Clark, Cebu, and Davao are useless because 1521 downtime world has no runways. It would also be a mass death scenario for the uptime Philippines because the economy will collapse the wonders of 2009 stuff simply cannot be made. |

There is no way for dll the tech to simply disappear. It will impact the world massively. 2009 Filipino society still has 100+ mln people and enough know how to dominate the world. Pretty sure they can make small arms as nd anno for them. If they lack oil, they may build sailing ships and traverse the world using them. Pretty sure they can build ximple DC-3 like aircraft as well. This would make for a very interesting TL IMO. |

There's no known avionics facility in the Philippines in 2009 and even in present day, there's no plane manufacturing plant here. |

1850 Papal States to 350 BC 2020 Luxembourg to 1618 AD 1928 Germany to 1913 Don't have any off on first one.
Hmm, so You want Luxembourg to stop the Thirty Years War with an outbreak of Covid 19?
Weimar Germany to 1913 - may be interesting. No Great War in the West and a few territories in the East of the Bleeding Borders Germany may reoccupy. Belgium will be elated at getting Eupen - Malmedy. France will be confused at having Alsace-Lorraine on a platter.
No big German Navy - Britannia rules the Wawes.
So when do Germany to East..

No Covid  Let's see what Luxemburg can do in Europe with it's small army and big tech advantage. |
