History WMG / Leviathan

*** But since Japan had only open up to the west in the mid 1800's (which is about the same time that DNA in this world was discovered), and only became a Darwinist nation in 1902. So maybe the Japanese were "courted" by the Darwinists and Clankers who provided "samples" of their tech and after Japan chose to go Darwinist they still kept some of the Clanker machines and there's still someone working on the machines. Oh yeah, as for fabs, the Japanese could have {{Pokemon}} and Godzilla in their arsenal!

** But, given that Japan is a total Darwinist state here, and not a Clanker state, wouldn't that just be a gigantic WallBanger?

** Alternatively, they will have Kitsune and the like, but also HumongousMecha. Because it's ''Japan.''

* But if Westerfeld does, the Eastern European front will liturally be flowing with blood. Millions more there will be killed there than they were in our world. The Nazis will probably turn to Darwinist tech to try to create [[{{SuperSoldier}} supersoldiers]] and will have no qualms about creating human/animal fabs. And the Pacific theatre may turn into a much longer conflict than in the real world; it may even be a lot like Vietnam. It also wouldn't be a streach of the imagination for both the Axis and Allies to turn to germ warfare. Maybe instead of the atomic bomb, the Americans devlope a [[{{DoomsdayDevice}} super virus]] to use against the Japanese.

* Think about it, everything in Australia is already trying to kill you. All the Aussie fabricators really have to do is to make the animals more trainable and a bit bigger if need be.

** Their equivalent of Britain's krakens will be resized [[EverythingsBeterWithPlatypi platypodes]] and stingrays.

* Providing the author even decides to go that far into history.

* RealLife WWI Japan had a ship that conducted the first naval-launched air raids, so you can bet they'll have the Darwinist version of a seaplane carrier and biplanes in Goliath. And actual [[{{Kitsune}} multi-tailed foxes]].

[[WMG: Alek and Deryn ''won't'' get together.]]
* Honestly, look at the author's track record with the romance in his various books. {{Uglies}} and {{Midnighters}} being the [[MostTriumphantExample most triumphant examples]].
** Or, they get together and are separated by politics. If Alek becomes emperor, he won't be able to ''properly'' marry Deryn and so, she either has to be his mistress or just leave as they wouldn't wish a left-handed marriage on any children they have.

[WMG:Russia is going to have [Everything'sWorseWithBears Bear Cavalry]

* Much like with Dr. Barlow, he assumed something else. In this case, like the WMG above me, he believes "Dylan" to be gay.

[[WMG: The outcome of the war will be entirly different than it was in real history, with more a a truce than a beatdown.]]
* The author notes in the Afterword that he wants the Automan Empire to stay together.

* But still thinks he is a guy, and so believes him to be gay. Alternatively, this is what Alek believes and it makes him a wee bit uncomfortable...

** {{Jossed}}. As of Behemoth, America uses a mix of Clanker and Darwin technology.

* This troper personally vouches for some sort of isolationist Zeerust utopia. (Note: I have not read Behemoth out, so I've got no clue if there is any reference to it in the book)

[[WMG: WWII will be HORRIBLE.. Hitler (Or whoever wills his role) will use both sides's technology, and will not have qualms about messing about with Human DNA.]]

Ummm, as the first random guess, I predict that Alek and Deryn will get together. This isn't very original, I know.
