Alternate Great War

This map shows an alternate history World War I ( Great War ) scenario.

In this scenario, Russia does not participate in the partitions of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth at the end of the 18th century. Because of that, the various historical events occur slightly differently, with the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth taking the place of Russia in many events. It eventually becomes a Republic of Three Nations ( the three nations being Poland, Lithuania and Ruthenia, with all three of them having a truly equal say in governing matters ).

As a result, during the Great War, it is the Republic of Three Nations that's a part of the Triple Entente, and not Russia ( Russia itself becomes a relatively peaceful republic shortly before the Great War ).

This map shows exactly those alliances: the Triple Entente and the Triple Alliance, as they were shortly before World War 1.

The flags and the filter that I used for the Republic of Three Nations flag are made by Minefield, who made an awesome filtered flag pack for the game Victoria II.
