Susan B. Anthony is arrested after attempting to vote in the 1872 election. In court, she notes the inequities of the law and purposeful conservative interpretation of the Constitution. She notes that there is to be no taxation without representation, and that the recent amendments to the Constitution, which guarantee the right of black men to vote, should guarantee all citizens of age to be able to vote.

She is shut down in court and sentenced to 6 months in prison, however the Republican-held Supreme Court finds this unconstitutional and overturns the decision. It is decided that the Fourteenth Amendment's equal protection clause must apply to all people, women included.

Precedent of the Supreme Court now dictates that it is lawful for women to vote.

After the war, the french citizens, and some of the french government scoffs at the forming of the German Empire. Why couldn't they make it without their land?

Conscription resets to %2 due to the halting of the war.

The Shogun lowers his demands to merely include Taiwan and Manchuria (for now) and decides to open up to trade, asking the US and the UK what resources they would accept for military supplies. In unrelated news, Japan begins putting funding and resources towards modernization.

[Kringleberg]

hey japan let us become friendly and trade? _{^{wink wink nudge nudge}}

[Nonnel]

the US will look into helping Japan modernize by selling them anything they may need at a generous discount

[Gojira]

[Kringleberg]

Encouraged by the successes in the United States, the suffragettes gain steam in the UK.

map, populations, armies, etc. updated (ongoing wars and significant events are still WIP)

colony populations have been added to the manpower pool

egypt has extended a white peace to the ottoman empire (all land held is kept)

(also are you sure you want to invade hejaz? it's actually arabia right now)

as mentioned before, many japanese are either resistant to western incursions while others are accommodating. the government has shown its true colors, and now fighting has broken out. western-aligned imperialists seeks to restore the emperor to the throne, a young man named meiji with plans of reconstruction and modernization. the current shogunate prefers the traditionalist sword-bearing ways and as such has taken up arms against the rebellion.

a civil war has broken out

---

a similar situation has erupted in the qing dynasty where, following two humiliating wars against western nations, the chinese have begun their steps towards modernization and are now seeking assistance from capable allies.

in the meantime, a hundred days' reform has begun to assist in bringing education, the government, and the military into the modern era
