What if Armenia ISOTs from May 1, 1995 to May 1, 1895?

  I think some of those dates for social changes are rather too early given the viewpoints of the bulk of the world at the time.  Not sure how liberal 1995 was but even if supporting all those viewpoints its going to have limited traction on a lot of the world's population.

  Tech spread would be of some benefit to Armenia but also dangerous as its still a small fish in a large pond without that tech advantage.  It can and very likely will secure a large independent Armenian state and probably some non-Armenian areas depending on how the initial conflict goes.  However too much technology spreading too quickly and its likely to get at best puppetized by someone, probably Russia.  Mind you non-Armenians in the country including all the embassies are in most cases going to spread as much info to their down-time homelands as they can.

  The Russian empire will very likely get rid of some OTL problems but might also go for more moderate targets as well, which might not be in its best interests.  It will be interested in new tech, especially for the military but maintaining and using a lot of what the Armenians have could be a massive task.  The Armenians will have problems any way beyond the short term as well.  Also too much of this knowledge and technology could be unpopular with the Russian [and other] elites if it requires social or political changes and I can see a lot of opposition by Nickolas II and his supporters to anything that restricts their power.  I was wondering whether Armenian medical knowledge could help his son, which might play a factor but Alexei wasn't born until 1904 so is going to be butterflied and its uncertain whether any son he and his wife have will hemophilia.

  Similar issues with a lot of other countries, especially ones under reactionary governments such as China, which is also likely to be thrown into some turmoil on knowledge of both the forthcoming Boxer revolt and its defeat and that the dynasty only lasted another 20 years.  The US will have to decide how it responses to knowledge that it attacks Spain on false premises and the European powers on the devastation of two world wars and the collapse of both European power and their colonial empires.  All that desire to stay great powers will be interested in modern weapons, especially nukes so expect a lot of nuclear programmes to be launched but everybody will struggle with the demands of such a project.

  News from the future will throw everybody into a spin and a lot of people in assorted countries are likely to be asking do we want to/how can we avoid doing what they did OTL.  A lot of political and military careers are going to be cut short.  Not just for reasons of 'future' incompetence either.

  Japan is currently involved in its war with Japan China - which ended on April 17th - but will be most concerned about what it hears about the future, especially if there are signs that Russia is receiving tech form Armenia and might try a desperate bid to 'win' and drive the Russians from Manchuria before too much changes but they could be too strained after the war with China.

  OK corrected thanks.
