Interesting. But I doubt that neither Stalin nor Hitler would be willing to wage fair diplomacy with Poland; It's position between Germany and the Soviet Union makes it a irresistable target.
Then that leaves Hitler with little choice regarding Poland. He can go for Sudetenland instead or continue his claimon the Polish corridor.
Anyhow, I wonder what would happen if this was made public and it looks like war is unavoidable. Will Hitler follow through or will he back off? Neither...
Not well. Hitler would'nt wage war with Russia looming over the East. Most likely choice for him would be a earlier Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, but with notable differences FOTL. One big divergence from ours is that Stalin would have the upper hands in the negotiations, since it would be simple for...
Well, if Hitler was more negotiable and Mussolini more assertive, could some sort of agreement be concluded in 1937-1938? Perhaps using some tid-bits of Austria as bargaining chip?
Is their no way for this to be realistically possible? Also, what would the consequences be for Germany if they...
Is it possible for Italy, instead of the Soviet Union, provided bases in which the German armed forces can be properly trained and supplied?
I remember reading somewhere that Stalin provided areas within Soviet territory for the German millitary to prepare as well as providing crucial tactics...
Have France set up a "Foriegn Military Regulation" on Germany so that whenever they think their military is getting to big, Paris will send Berlin a nice little messege to get rid of this and that. It's a great way to piss of the country while also making it substantialy harder and longer to...
Well, if were talking about a Portugal that is deliberately trying to avoid costly wars a/o conflicts with other European powerhouses, then perhaps the small country would come out of the 1600's as a true model country for foriegn goverments and such.
One thing that would, as already...
Depends on when the free countries learn about the Holocaust. That and the ravaging of Europe will realy put some weight on foreign trade and diplomacy in the coming years; or whenever their neighbors get the chance to find out. Germany was making alot of money with many American companies...
So yeah, this threads all about teams that were or could of been and some stat projections, from simple to complex. Here's the first one for example, open for revision.
Note: Teams do not have to be necessairly different, but must at least have a different record then OTL (Ex: More/less World...
I'm going to be honest here, but Sealion is more likely to fail then bear fruit; depending on who is going to overall command the British forces at land. The British fake the destruction of the RAF and mislead the amount of damage on the RN (Less then a fraction of the fleet needs to be...
Pink Floyd picks The Pros and Cons of Hitchhiking over Bricks in the Wall (The Original concept name for The Wall). More sound quality, lyrics, and the rest replace OTL's Pros and Cons album and eventualy makes it a huge hit. The Wall would be released as a solo album by Roger Waters after...
At your own leisure, answer this challange in your own way.
The topic is that the North stays Republican and the South keeps with the Democrats.
The catch is, you must have the Dixiecrats, after their apearance in 1948, maintain a strong power base in the Southern abode.
How much of the...
Perhaps instead of "Revolting" completley, perhaps most would desert the army. Fighting for your independence is indeed a proud thing to do, but many might not trust the British or they might fear that their wife/wives will run off to another man or simply leave, along with their children (if...
Give or take, a few months. The Battle of the Bulge delayed the Western Allies advance so...It depends on how those forces are used "Defensively".
Hitler has the following choices he can make:
A. Send them off to stem the Red Tide.
B. Keep them in the Western Front to try and create a...
