Standard Operating Procedure :)

Not sure, you've obviously put some time and effort into this but I don't know enough about the topic to really contribute meaningfully. Sorry

Such a simple statement with so much promise behind it. :D

In this timeline, I think he's going to be extremely highly regarded among historians (not least because he never made any moves to seize the throne for himself despite the enormous level of power and influence that he was given). The fact that his final battle had such a one-sided outcome is...

So it begins...

I believe the bolded part is supposed to be Kantakouzenos? Otherwise, nice update. :)

Ah, that makes sense.

There seems to be some confusion on who is signing to whom. The way it is currently written I got the impression that Maurras could hear the other people but not speak himself. Wasn't he deaf instead?

Always find Cahokia and the Mississippian civilization interesting. It could be argued that they are mentioned in "The Red Road" of the Delaware nation but even if that is true, it's only a passing mention.

Unfortunately, that's getting into the weeds beyond what I actually know from my surface-level knowledge of the period. I think you'd need someone more specialized in classical Greece (like maybe @Hecatee ) to give you some specific PoD for the Delian League.

I tend to agree that Athens had the best chance and Sparta really did as best as it could have in OTL. I'm unsure if perhaps Thebes or Corinth had opportunities that could have been used as a springboard or not. Perhaps Thebes after Leuctra? Unsure.

Definitely unwieldy. The Angevin Empire alone was so unstable that the court was almost always on the move. I don't think Henry II spent more than 2-3 weeks in any one place for his entire reign. It wasn't until John managed to lose most of the continental holdings that the government began to...

Interesting scenario, sadly I don't know enough of the Japanese political scene to even speculate on what changes might develop.

Absolutely, I'm not remotely justifying the VC/PAVN in the least. I was just highlighting what I saw as the differences between them and the KR. Vietnam was a civil war and (like most civil wars) there were remarkably few "good guys" to be found at any level. I think that Vietnam is only...

I'm not going to claim any particular knowledge of the situation but my layman's assessment would be that it's a difference between committed Ideologues and Pragmatists. The Khmer Rouge were communist zealots first and soldiers second (not to mention they attracted a lot of criminals who viewed...
