I think there was also another encounter in which they ran from Malaya.

A couple instances in which they were scared off from attacking convoys by an escorting battleship...if they had the firepower to engage, they might have gone for it. However, the German operational doctrine was always extremely cautious to try to avoid any engagements with their handful of...

The "Nazis cannot into science" camp....:rolleyes:

That's outrageous, unless they're trainers or cheap COIN aircraft. Scratch COIN - too many maintenance and logistics issues for that. Only if you're leaving some of them alive. The Germans will have a significant edge in ballistic missiles, right? Also, I'm curious how much farther they...

F-22 in 1991? I don't think anyone in the Soviet Union would be looking to have another Afghanistan anytime soon.

It's utterly incredible that Paraguay, in the 1860s, managed to attain such a horrifying death toll, which proportionately far exceeds that of even WWII Japan or Russia.

I see a lot of the "you're not asking to rename New York/Jersey/Hampshire" defense thrown around, but quite frankly, I'd also be interested...

My money would be on the Axis fleet, but the whole thing would be a gigantic mess.

The Confederacy might be able to establish some small colonies in Africa, but that is contingent on not crossing Britain or France or any other major naval power.

Genocide is the traditional means in this region.

Imagine the Tutsis, who militarized pretty heavily after being raped and massacred enough by the Hutus in Rwanda and the Congo, had responded to the genocide and civil war and actually managed to form their own breakaway state in Central Africa from Tutsi land in eastern Congo and Rwanda and...
