How would the world react to Maher and most importantly how would Maher be as a leader? With Syria in chaos and the backlash from the assasination of Assad, could Maher keep Syria together? Could he even win the Civil War or is Syria dead?

With ISIS pretty much kicked out of Syria I feel comfortable asking this WI to my fellow Alternate Historians. What if ISIS/IS/Daesh was able to kill Bashar Al-Assad? Could be as simple as a sleeper cell suicide bomber. I would think a good place would be to blow up at what ever Mosque Assad...

Maybe, after all naming a country after a capital is fairly uncommon. I could see them naming their new country off of the district the capital is in though.

If the Southern Transitional Council succeeds in making Southern Yemen independent. What do you think they'll call their new country? Republic of Aden? Republic of South Yemen? Restore the old Democratic Republic of Yemen? As of now I can't find an offical name for their new country if they...

Under "First Citizen of the Empire" Italo Balbo, do you think the Italian Imperial Republic would be renamed again? To show that he wasn't just another Mussolini?

It's been discussed here plenty of times if Mussolini won and how he could have won. So I'm not here to ask about that. If Mussolini did win though, ideally rejects Hitler as he did seen him as a clown and a barbarian no different then the Germanic peoples of Roman times. Let's say he's able...

Hello Noravea, I was reading through your Alternate History timeline Giovinezza, amazing. Sadly it seems incomplete. In your opinion, in your timeline how long would Mussolini have lived until? And who would his successor be?

Germany sent Vladimir Lenin from exile in Switzerland to Russia to take command of the Russian Revolution. Their goal was to get Russia out of the war. But I was thinking, say Germany wins WW1, and Lenin still succeeds in toppling Tsar Nicholas II. With a victorious Germany, would the Soviet...

I didn't say it was monotheist merely that because of the fact of it being a revealed religion it could have formed into a monotheist religion given enough time and stability. Roman religion never became Monotheist because they were in constant conquest and always adding new gods or at least...

Well yes and no. I just mean the Etruscan Religion was, like Christianity and Judaism, a revealed religion. An account of the revelation is given by Cicero(On Divination 2.50) . One day, says the legend, in a field near the river Marta in Etruria, a strange event occurred. A divine being rose up...

Revealed* Sorry autocorrect is weird.

Haha. It would be fascinating. Plus when it comes to culture and superstition the Etruscans followed a revived faith not that different from Judaism. We could easily see a monotheistic religion in Italy had the Etruscans won. Like Judaism it would be ethnic but like Judaism again there would be...

I know, the founder of Proto-Fascism/National Syndicalism as credited by Benito Mussolini was Georges Sorel. Sorel was a Nationalistic Socialist.

This is past 1900 sorry but, Fascism is a revolutionary third positionist ideology. If not for Hitler, Fascism could have easily caught on. Get Mussolini to refuse to ally with Hitler and Nazism will be discredited as something else. While Mussolini Fascism (Traditional Fascism) will be seen...

I wasn't mentioning anyone specifically when talking about an Etruscan Empire. Simply that when people think about Etrusca replacing Rome they think that Etrusca will create an empire eventually to replace Roman influence in our timeline. Well said all the way with all those alt timelines...
