The House of Lords would get gently purged and the new chamber is the "House of the People". The people in the house then get issued alot of rubber stamps.
I agree with your concepts. But.... the required conversion of a significant majority may be too high.
For example, the Ottoman Turks initiated Islamic conversion campaigns backed by a "carrot and stick" approach.
Yet, the Ottoman convert batting average in the Balkans was probably about...
The 80% Muslim figure probably included a fair number of indigenous locals whose conversions to Islam were not that deep and who had converted as a requisite for social advancement or.... out of pure, unadulterated pragmatic desire to be on the dominate side (well, dominate at the time)...
Maybe.... A double punch of:
A- Judaism goes officially and actively multi ethnic- then mega ethnic with an expansion campaign of their own. They even develop their own versions of Peter and Paul.
B- Indo European paganism goes Hindu / Ghost Dance with the help of a religious genius and...
Sure it would. "Separate but Equal"-right?
This would create a double irony of southerners experiencing the inequalities of separate "equality" and northerners applying a soft discrimination against both white southerners and blacks equally.
As a side note.....
As you noted, there was a decline in performance of the Red Army in late 1944 and early 1945. This decline over the broad average in finesse probably continued all the way to the fall of Berlin. By late 1944 / early 1945, Stalin knew that WWII was won and was...
I am thinking.....
They go smorgasbord with soupy mix of anything that Himmler was attracted to. But.... they stop short of a religion as they know that the SS (soupy smorgasbord) is simply not going to replace Christianity groups.
Rather, the Nazis present the beliefs as a "philosophy"...
I "like" the concept of going over regulatory on D&D and related games.
Maybe go "tobacco" and declare D&D to be inherently psychologically harmful? It can then only be purchased by adults. But wait, there is more....
- Vendors would need licenses. These could be difficult to get...
I"ll go for Stalin.
As the end of the day, the Germans had a deeper "bench" general talent wise and could better compensate for Hitler's interference.
Meanwhile, Stalin firing and murdering general officer talent would have a far greater proportional impact as the Soviets had a shallower...
If the entire army could be destroyed by diseases, it was not going to be sufficient to defend the Louisiana Purchase.
Manifest Destiny was starting to form in the USA. It did not really matter what the melanin content of any body standing in the way was (Native, French, or say, Creole)...
My guess is that the French would view the unchallenged building of a colonial empire by the UK to be an existential threat. So, they were not going to get distracted.
As a side note, Napoleon did not sell the Louisiana Purchase to the US because he the vast area was not defensible and...
I am thinking that would be the case. At the end of the day, the two countries would be very intertwined with each other economically- and economics can make some very strange "bedfellows".
Then factor in that the CSA was decentralized and that there were really two "souths" including a south...
All of the above points are very true and noted.
And now the big 'but'.... Stalin is interested in the uhmmm..... "new direction" and he does not care what the German refugees think, nor does he care about what the local Germans think.
If Stalin likes the program, it could start in June...
I am thinking very token amounts at best.
I believe that the German effort was to develop spies that would expand into saboteurs and agents provacateurs, then, in time to larger scale armed resistance. But.... even that effort was not getting a lot of traction amongst the IRA.
At the end of...
