That is an understatement if I ever saw one. I really don't think the American public would accept sending a million men abroad, where hundreds of thousands would die, spend hundreds of billions of dollars, reintroduce the privations of war at home, for what? To fight a former ally? Without some...

A lot of that is true, but there is also the reverse side of the coin. Without militarism and constant readiness for war, how could this Russia manage to defeat and displace the traditional powers of the region, Poland, Sweden, OE? This made it become a great power in the first place. Imo, if...

Yes I know very well how Soviet domination of Eastern Europe was imposed, I wasn't comparing the two things. I was saying that maybe a much weaker, trully crippled, Western Europe, and a US that is in a much worse strategic position than OTL because of this, with a Soviet Union that has not gone...

Well that would kinda make all the conspiracy nutjobs with Jews controlling Germany think they are right. Even with the horrors of the holocaust, this could really reignite European antisemitism in the long run. Also, remember that the vast majority of Jews that came to Israel after WW2 were...

What if WW2 takes a different course? Say with France, the Benelux and Denmark not surrendering but fighting to the bitter end, with widespread guerrila movements, with Britain sending everything it has in northern France in 1940 (don't know if they had that much else to send really). This way...

True, they were a very fragmented movement and it's kinda hard to see them form a stable centralized government right after the civil war, but the OP was talking about the "future of White Russia" so I am assuming that at some point they would eventually form a government.

Russia in the last 20 years has suffered much more than the US from Islamic terrorism. It is true that if it happened in the same day it would encourage them to cooperate more with NATO, but they were already fighting Islamists in the Caucasus at that time, what more can they do? They still do...

Not nearly to the same extent. There was some antisemitism and discrimination against others but not even fucking close to what would happen if the Whites had come in power. Jesus Christ are you serious? Josef Stalin was a Georgian, go ask today a Russian ultranationalist what he thinks about...

I certainly do not think that a White Russia would be a prosperous, stable and democratic great power. Leaving aside issues such as industrialisation or population size, a White Russia has lots of potential for ethnic strife and major wars with it's neighbours. Many White Russian leaders made...

The later part of Carol II's regime, when he became autocratic, had many fascist features. As Easterling said, he was not lef wing. However, his lack of antisemitism (his mistress and later wife was of Jewish descent afterall) did make him standout amongst all far righters. This might make...

Not really possible since there were always tensions about Basarabia. I actually thing a war between the Soviet Union and Romania in the 20s is more likely than an alliance. After the Tatarbunar rebellion at least many Romanian political figures became very Russophobic and anticommunism became...

I am not sure what does the OP want. There were plenty of homegrown far-right fascist political movements in 1930s Europe. Each with it's own peculiarities. A lot even had anti-semitism as a core belief.

The most obvious one imo is butterflying away Charlemagne and his empire. That way the Papacy wouldn't have the same prestige, without a great power backing it, to go head to head with the Eastern Roman Church in the following centuries.

Agreed, by not having Germany by her side A-H would be in a very vulnerable position. Not only because of facing Russia all alone, but also I could see Romania joining the war on Serbia's side, resulting in a huge front from the Adriatic to Poland/ I don't see A-H winning this war, and when...

I would imagine future emperors would try to reconquer Gaul. It would be a huge prize for any Roman emperor and if the Franks are like in OTL prone to division and lack of central authority than I could certainly see some gains being made in the future. I doubt a distinct...
