Even if (a massive if) you had an Irish Government that was crazy enough to consider it. The UK deployment to Northern Ireland in the 1980s was around 10,000 (not including the Ulster Defence Regiment and unionist paramilitaries who'd also resist any incursion). This is still more than the...

The Jewish population would probably be lower or slowly Hellenised. There's always been a strong Jewish presence in Solun but having it run by a state with an exclusively Greek and Orthodox identity would put a lot of pressure on it. Which I guess would give some order to it, but I do feel a...

Long time without an update due to my thesis and work but hopefully can get this updated regularly now. (Prokop Drtina at his office. Prague:1945) Part 7 “How horrible, fantastic, incredible it is that we should be digging trenches and trying on gas-masks here because of a quarrel in a far...

Regarding PODs if it has to be post 1945 then I'd say the Velvet Divorce. If I remember movements for autonomy in Silesia and Moravia did gain some seats before the divorce. Perhaps there could be some way for them to not decline, like they did IOTL.

The man himself in the Duma today.

Dacia does alright if I remember correctly. Though it is owned by Renault now.

Alan Moore is certainly someone I can see doing a splendid job on Dr Who, as long as he can resist putting a naked Dr Manhattan on it. Shame V For Vendetta doesn't get finished though.

Noted and changed. One has a tendancy to get carried away when writing Churchill. :rolleyes: Thanks to everyone for the good feedback, There should be an update looking at the Czechoslovak side of things tonight.

Part 5 “The sight of those two old, visibly decaying, men going at each other with the passion and intensity of a pair of prize-fighters in their prime electrified me and the crowd.” Jeremy Wolfenden: Out and About in London and Moscow From the Oxford Union Debate 1956 Wilson vs...

"If you want a vision of the future imagine a boot stamping down on a set of stairs. Forever"

Hey but that was one mean goat. How could a platoon of elite bodyguards hope to stand against it? On the sidenote I adore the above quote far far too much

At first, huge unpopularity from parliament and the public but I could expect this to mellow somewhat once the excesses of the Nazi regime become more well known. I'd expect a larger amount of people in the present day arguing that it was a mistake not to accept it though. A greater proportion...
