Great War (Harry Turtledove)

Great War (Harry Turtledove)

"Great War" is an alternate history trilogy by Harry Turtledove, which follows How Few Remain. It is part of Turtledove's Timeline-191 series of novels.

The Great War saga

Smarting from two defeats at the hands of the Confederate States of America, which was allied with the United Kingdom and the French Third Republic, the United States of America has turned to an alliance with the strengthening German Empire. The US military has been reformed along German lines, and the antebellum Republican Party has collapsed, discredited by the defeats, leaving the Democratic Party and the Socialist Party (whose rise was aided by the defection of Abraham Lincoln and his supporters from the Republicans to the Socialists) as the main political parties in the United States.

When in 1914 the Great War breaks out in Europe, both the USA and CSA join almost immediately on the side of their respective allies, and the USA is fighting a two-front war against Britain's primary representative on North America, Canada and Newfoundland to the north, and the CSA to the south. In eastern North America, the conflict soon bogs down into trench warfare, while in the West the battle lines are more fluid.
