The War Between the Provinces is one of the many Fantasy/Alternate History stories of Harry Turtledove. In a Fantasy version of The American Civil War, he turns the war upside down, left to right, and every which way. To summarize, the Kingdom of Detina is engaged in a civil war. The recent ascension of King Avram to the throne has split the North from the South after the king announces he intends to free the blonde serfs from their bondage to the land. His cousin Geoffery splits apart the Kingdom and leads the North to keep the serfs and preserve how they live. The Southron armies in gray march to reunify the Kingdom, while the Northron Armies in blue prepare to defend their new country. The three books in the series focus mainly on an altered version of the Western Theater of the real American Civil War, only with his twisted version of events and characters.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The series contains the following books: Sentry Peak Marching Through Peachtree Advance And Retreat

Automatic Crossbow: The Southrons develop repeating crossbows that are the Fantasy equivalant of the repeating rifles used towards the end of The American Civil War. Most of the footsoldiers are regular crossbowmen before being equipped with this.

Fantasy Counterpart Culture: Detina is a monarchial version of the United States, only upside down. The South is the industrial center, the North is the agricultural heartland, and serfs replace slaves. Also, the colors are reversed, as the Southrons are in grey uniforms, but is for a united Detina, while the North is blue, but for a split kingdom. Also, the action takes place in the Eastern Theater for them. Also railways are glideways, for low-level flying carpets on set paths, and finally, crystal balls are their telegraphs. Got all that?

Cool Horse: Unicorns are the cavalry mounts for the main armies. Those horns on the end aren't just for decoration.

Istanbul (Not Constantinople): The many places of Detina are parallels to our real world locations. It is in fact possible to follow the story with a real history and map of the Western Theater by simply reversing the directions and recognizing the puns. Examples include:Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })
