[edit] Czarist Russia

"Turtledove never explains why Russia is still Tsarist, since in real life the Russian Revolution was in large part caused by its being defeated in World War I, which also happened here."

A possible reason for this would be that in this timeline, the Germans felt no need to send Lenin in a sealed railway car back to St. Petersburg (the war on the Western front would have been considerably eased without American involvement on the Anglo-French side.)

Added the part about guerilla warfare in Ireland; re-arranged the bit about a lack of explanation for the continued existence of a Tsarist Russia.
