    Here's the same map with the borders highlighted (and the corresponding areas and the key numbered - red are the proposed borders and black are the 1913 borders - only the borders on land are highlighted and where it wasn't obvious from the colour difference etc.

    Agreed. As nice as it is as a map, I don't think it belongs in this thread.

    Excellent map, though you coloured in Dutch Guiana (Surinam(e)) as part of War Plan Purple or War Plan Violet, when it wouldn't have been covered by either plan (since it was not a part of Latin America; being Dutch and was also not an independent South American republic at the time)

    Yes, Churchill had the original 3 occupation zones mapped out in his history of the Second World War and I did a map series on it in this thread. The basic outline of the zones was agreed upon from 1943 (the Soviets and the British proposed nearly identical zonal boundaries and zones (British in...

    Think walmart might have been thinking of 1940s into the 1980s when it was plurality Russian. However, walmart is correct that in the early 1990s it was plurality Slavic (not just Russian) in comparison to Kazakhs. Even in 1989 the combined Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian, and Polish population...

    Indeed! And that is exactly the kind of trend I would expect to continue in TTL (and not just with the Commonwealth but with the Entente). The Commonwealth armies would end up under British command in the field with restrictions, reservations and exceptions, much as how the BEF was placed under...

    But out of the eight countries you listed, 5 are either in the British Empire (India) or are dominions in the British Commonwealth (Australia, NZ, South Africa and Canada) and would historically have come under British command in the war more or less anyway (or perhaps have even had their...

    Given that Foch was Supreme Allied Commander in 1918 it does not surprise me that the French wanted that in 1939. The fact the British didn't though is exactly why I feel very doubtful that we would see anything like OTL's NATO structure and activities in this TL's post war world. I don't see...

    But they won. The inclination isn't to put national armies together under joint command, much less to go through various preparations for such armies on a multilateral basis. Note how despite Marshall Foch having been Supreme Allied Commander for nearly 6 months in 1918, the French and British...

    But again, you are referring to exercises by the group (the Entente). Which I question whether or not it would even happen. It's not even about exercises occurring between F/S Union and the Entente, but any military exercises occurring that involve more than one country (such as Britain and...

    I'm not sure multilateral naval exercises will even be a thing in this world. I don't think the first NATO multilateral military exercises were held until 1951 in OTL and the Entente of this world are not NATO as much as we will have a tendency to try to map the familiar from our world onto...

    They probably got confused when people started talking about map porn. Eventually you might get pictures of nude people with map tattoos on them...

    Nice map. Shouldn't Cuba be shown as a US protectorate at this point in time?

    Well not sure what the problem there would be. What chance did they ever really have to claim the Italian throne anyway? The fact that Italy would not be defeated and occupied should mean that Victor Emmanuel III continues to reign as King of Italy until his death in 1947 and would only be...
