Scenario Intro: In the year 1861, the secession of the South threw the United States into turmoil. Napoleon III of France, assisted in part by England and Spain, took advantage of the War Between the States to re-establish a monarchy under King Maximilian in the New World. Only months after Fort Sumter fell, a French force landed and took over most of Mexico. Historically, the republics of the United States and Mexico managed to overcome their respective problems; Mexico repelled Maximilian in the late 1860's, and the U.S. conquered the Confederacy in the 1860's, the Indians in the rest of the 1800's, and finally, Cuba in the Spanish-American War. Will Democracy triumph again, or will tyranny, slavery, or colonial ambitions pave the way into the twentieth Century?
