I did not accomplish this meagre collection of webpages alone. To be sure, the inspiration for Tripartite Alliance Earth is mine alone, and I retain final responsibility for the changes resulting in these webpages. Still, it is entirely accurate to say that absent the help given my by other people and other institutions, this history would never have been written.

Firstly, I would like to thank the members of the AHTG discussion forum, particularly Mike Davis, John Reiher (thanks for the FTP account), and Jonathan Edelstein. Jonathan has been quite helpful in regards to the Middle East and the Southern Hemisphere.

I owe perhaps the biggest debt, though, of all of my AHTG collaborators, to Stephen Voss. Without Stephen, Russia, Cuba, and particularly North America and the prelude to Nixon's rise would not exist in anything like the same form. (Too, Stephen is responsible for Hosperger's testimony before the World Court and for Garrison's address, along with many of the quotes ) Without the help of Stephen, or my other collaborators on-list, Tripartite Alliance Earth's history would be far less detailed -- and perhaps more importantly, far less interesting! -- than it is now.

I owe thanks to Benjamin Levy for his provision of the format used in the entries for Egypt, Iran, Mexico, Korea, South Africa, and Thailand.

The USENET newsgroup soc.history.what-if is an invaluable forum for the discussion of all things uchronical. Very often, as I refined a particular webpage I consulted with the denizens of this newsgroups in a s.h.w-i thread, particularly the former. In that spirit, I'd like to thank Douglas Muir (for help on Japanese Micronesia), Sydney Webb (for help on Malaya), Demetrios Rammos (for help on matters Greek and Aegean), and the various participants in the s.h.w-i thread WI A More Gandhian India. E-mail correspondents of mine to whom I am indebted include Lyn David Thomas (for help on the development of the British Isles), Carlos Yu (for help on Filipino emigrants and the post-War global economy's development), P.J.G. Mergey (for correcting my French grammar errors), Vegard Valberg, Jussi Jalonen and Tyge Sjöstrand (for their help with Norden), Perique des Palottes (for help on the Catalan lands), Ivan Hodes and Noel Maurer (for giving me their perspectives on this timeline), and J. Mendivil (for Spanish and Euskara translations).

I acquired all of my research materials through the two local libraries -- the Robertson Library at UPEI, and the Confederation Centre of the Arts Library operating as part of the provincial library network, both based in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Too, just when I was getting bogged down in column after column of obscure data, my Encarta 97 encyclopedia on CD-Rom provided a much-needed general background, as did the Library of Congress' Country Studies and the excellent Rough Guide and Lonely Planet series of guidebooks.

Finally, I would like to thank the Alternate History Travel Guides. When I first logged onto soc.history.what-if in the fall of 1997, little did I suspect what would result from my passing interest. It has been fun.

(Oh. And to all those whom I've forgotten to thank, thank you.)
