Denmark of 9 April 1940 ISOT to 1 February 1864.

One have to write and learn -


Eastern Theatre of War USA June 1864 IV

Post hostilities the Danish Artillery Officers had a lot of talk with their US counterparts.
The Danes had been surprised that so few and if any reliable maps had been around to fully utilize indirect Artillery fire. They were fully aware that they had done whats possible and that the Machineguns had saved the day.
They expressed the view that the US Army needed more modern Artillery to get value for money it just wasn't possible with available means.
At Petersburg the fortifications had made excellent targets visible to the US Artillery and possible to direct.
At Appomattox Station it had been fire at whats in sight and directions more of pointing where the enemy had been seen by directors.
The Machinegunners had had a field day cutting down the massed Confederate formations.

General Grant did value the Danish Machineguns – the Artillery Observers not so much.

Denmark 30 September 1940/ 26 July 1864

Stauning had been canvassing for almost six months now. He had used everything he had to convince the Danish workers and every other Dane his way being the right way.
Winning a war he hadn't wanted; getting the Nation through its worst time; reestablished friendship with Sweden, Britain, USA, Austria and most of the German lands.
Trade flourished and he had promised to ease the restrictions on private car fuel as soon as possible but this World could not at the moment deliver the needed oil to be refined in Denmark though still the option of converting to kerosene remained.

The West Indies had become party to Denmark once more this time its status had been changed to that of a County as was the case of Greenland and Iceland.
Goods from afar was again available though of a different kind than known before and Danish firms was busy around the World laying Telegraphcables, spreading new knowledge of Health and Medicine and Veterinarian practices making the World a healthier place to be – all thanks to Denmark arriving in this backwards world.

Already the World as it had been known had changed; Prussia had been defeated by Denmark and Bismarck the great Warmonger of our World had been deposed to Brazil; a lot of the Princely States of Germany was looking to Denmark for development and prosperity; the USA had defeated the CSA and slavery in that part of the World soon be but history as was the case in the West Indies.

The Greenlanders had taken up a new way of life that of mining on a large scale and fishing from steamboats which had also become the way of fishing off Iceland and the Faeroe Islands. In Greenland Coal was being mined and other mines such of Copper had joined that of Kryolite. Coal was also mined in the Faeroe Islands. In Iceland the first Hydropower Plant was being projected not far from Reykjavik to light up the dark night. Similar plants but smaller was being built in the Faeroe Islands where fishermen benefit from their new steamboats for fishing on a larger scale than experienced previously.

Being instrumental in defeating Prussia the Danish Armed Forces had become a feared instrument in many lands; thus the Army and the Navy was about to being enlarged – not just with Soldiers and Sailors but Engineers and all sorts of specialist's. As Denmark had had its territory enlarged in the Worlds Western Hemisphere the Navy had its obligations increased – a big opportunity for fit young men eager to make life better in that part of the World but also to serve their country. A large number of young men had already taken the challenge and was serving with the Navy in the rebuilt Marines Regiment in the Far East combatting Pirates in the Nicobar Is.

Civil servants were another sector that needed an influx of bright young men and women; to guide and control the new counties to ensure the Nation would attain the highest level of good government.

Work had been undertaken to register all the riches of the Nation but more had to be done; the Institutions of Knowledge in Copenhagen and Aarhus needed be filled with young men and women eager to attain such knowledge to guide the Nation, to combat even the worst of diseases, to find new ways in Science such as paved by the Great Son of Denmarks Professor Niels Bohr who hadn't made the journey back in time along the rest of us and to teach others our knowledge so as to bring our Nation to the pinnacle of knowledge and prosperity.

Now let us all bow our heads in a moment of silence; to remember those that didn't come along us to this World and to those that fell on the Field of Battle in Slesvig to stop the Prussian evil.

Bow Your head for a minute along me.

Copenhagen 15 October 1940/ 9 August 1864

Elections result:
Socialdemocratic Party: 71 +7
Liberal Party: 28 -2
Conservatives: 12 -14
Ultra-Conservatives: 15 (swallowed NSDAP/Nazi Party)
Social Liberals: 14
Communist Party: 0 -3
Justice Party: 3
Schleswig Party: 1
Faeroe Member 1

The usual muddied Danish Elections result.

Even if Stauning had succeeded in eradicating the Communists he still looked at the figueres and sighed.

So much for winning the war and reestablish the Nation in another time. Bloody fools.
Both Conservatives and Liberals of all sorts had been able to cling to their core constituency though with disastrous result for the Conservatives as the fraction of Ultra-Conservatives had appealed much to the DNSAP which had seen the cessation of its raison d'etre due to the ISOT.
The Social Liberals had managed to stick to numbers – surely P. Munch's work at Frankfurt a.M. had a been a boost.

Copenhagen 15 October 1940/ 9 August 1864

Stauning had invited chairmen of all parties for talks on new Government formation.
Both the Social Liberals and the Conservatives would like to enter a coalition but Stauning knew he only needed 2 more mandates to attain absolute majority so tiny Justice Party would suffice though he really didn't like their political foundation.
It would only be offered one Ministry but it would ask for Min of Justice and Stauning wasn't sure he would be ready for that. Besides the Party was adherents of Henry George for its political foundation certainly would offend the Liberals.
Of course the Liberals had pulled out of the Unity Government on its own but Stauning would like to be able to if needed have 2/3 majority and the Liberals would assure that or BOTH Social Liberals and Conservatives which latter wasn't impossible but might prove difficult and be costly in the long (or short) run.
The Liberals and Conservatives had been at loggerheads during canvassing each blaming the other for the failure of the Unity Government.

Acting Min of Foreign Affirs P. Munch had been at his throat as news of a burned out house at 16 North Eutaw Street, Baltimore in which the proprietor Maggie Branson and some of her friends among these John Wilkes Booth and Samuel Arnold perished. There was also a number of unidentified dead at the site.
P. Munch had warned Stauning of tampering with History though had been rebuffed by Stauning that the arrival of Denmark's at this time in History might have had some higher purpose which none of them would know and had to work to somehow get the best of the situation.

Still P. Munch was very angry looking at Stauning asking ”what else have You set in motion we don't know of?”

Which Stauning replied ”You have been fully informed – I asked for an overview of US History in this time which we supplied our Minister at Washington, You drafted it Yourself.. however the US Minister to Copenhagen have been at Washington. We can't control the flow of information – we are not the Sovietunion.”

That had closed the mouth of P. Munch.

Life isn't necessarily easy but Political life certainly not.

Well Stauning made P. Munch, head Social Liberals shut up but he won't really like them for coalition partner which if you count numbers will have Stauning court the Liberals which left the Unity Government so really isn't an option - Social Liberals more so but still annoying (and doesn't like armaments which Stauning know is a must in this World). Justice Party is just annoying due to their economic view which doesn't fit with Socialdemocratic ideas.

USA July – August 1864

President Lincoln worked hard following the defeat of the CSA to implement his promises for the Negro's of the Southern States.
All had been emancipated from Slavery by the Gettysburg Address and with the Union Army in the Southern States this proclamation issued by him as Supreme Commander was now implemented.
Lincoln would address Congress later in the year at its gathering confirm all Freedmen had been given right of vote. The White population of the South had rejected serving to implement this and Lincoln asked Congress to counter this by Amendmend to the Constitution.
As part of the Union Army occupation of the CSA a Freedmens Bureau had been set up to allotting land in the Southern States to Blacks that had been abandoned by Plantation owners so that they as land owners would have the right to vote.
Going to Congress Lincoln also drafted a Land Allotment in the Western Territories to be parcelled out to Black War Veterans thereby giving them the right to vote when Territories became States.
Lincolns actions in the occupied Southern states was countered by mainly the Democratic Party but other groups of Whites were also against it – even the poor Whites of the South in many ways sharing the fate of the Negro's rejected the vote scheme. White peoples in the Northern States also rejected Black vote.
Lincoln would press on politically using all his oratory ability to make America accept Negro vote.

President Lincoln referring to the Monroe Doctrine warn France of pulling out its troops of Mexico; Nap III ignore the warning and General Sherman is ordered to draw up a Corps of the Union Army on the Texas – Mexico Border.
As Nap III get information of the Corps elements arriving at the border and Union Navy being quite active in the Gulf of Mexico he order the French Expedition Force in Mexico to make preparations for pulling out.
The Belgian Battalions, the Egyptian Battalion and the Austrian Brigade wasn't warned by the French of the impending pulling out.

The collapse of the CSA Army the month before had certainly given Lincolns word weigh though the French Generals observed the positions of Shermans troops in South Carolina and made their dispositions accordingly i.e. the preparations moved ahead slowly and the troops used for their intent of quelching the Mexican opposition to the new Emperor.
