In need of Info from every nation for my timeline

[Carthaginian]

Guys, I think it might be important to remember that the news of this victory probably won't even reach TEXAS before January 1850. The other side of the pond, maybe by March. Add to that a nation such as Texas (OTL) wasn't recognized as independent until 1839 by France, after achieving independence in 1835, makes it seem like many of us are jumping the gun.

Tex,

The delay in France recognizing Texas wasn't due to slow mail, it was due to the fact that a Bourbon was on the throne in Spain at the time. This meant that the French were rather inclined to protect the interests of the Spanish Monarchy- since it was one of their distant cousins and allies.

It was politics- pure and simple- that dictated the long delay... till France was certain that their cousins could not control their American territories, they were loath to admit that the empire of their distant relatives was sundered.
