Well the key question is how? The USA and the USSR had conflicting strategic interests in 1945, and lets not forget the USA and the other Western democracies were hardly warm towards the USSR before WWII. you would need a very different set of circumstances between 1933 and 1945 to avert the...
Even without the world wars Russia was facing serious internal and external issues. barring substantial political reforms revolution seems inevitable and of course they still have the humiliation of Russo-Japanese War to deal with and the huge naval losses incurred. Without the wars Germany...
Well that's completely wrong to start with. The British had plenty of proof it was real, they just went to great pains to avoid having to reveal the exact mechanics of how they found out about the telegram . Whatever some US newspapers might have said Wilson had been given proof it was real and...
Or more realistically the British knew they couldn't be held, withdrew, and were delighted to see the Germans pour in massive effort to fortify them since they had zero intention of trying to retake them. The German troops manning those defences got to watch on D-Day as the Allies bypassed them...
With inexperienced pilots against an enemy on alert for them? I doubt they will achieve much and what about the next battle? Because this relative handful of kamikazes isn't going to change anything.
Well in 1935 The British and French don't have massive aid to give and since any assistance from the USSR would have to flow through British or French ports I can't see how they would send anything if they wanted to. The only way the British might intervene is if Mussolini prematurely threatened...
The thing is that Shorts already made a superb maritime patrol aircraft in the shape of the Sunderland Flying Boat. Probably more likely that if they decide they want more patrol aircraft they step up the Sunderland production, with the Stirling temporarily pressganged into service.
I honestly don't think it would have made much difference for the RN. The absence of a major engagement is unlikely to make the pacifist/ disarmament stronger than OTL.
The British would continue to fund the RN as it is still vital to their interests. The Nazis, meaning Hitler, might be less enamoured of big warships and the Kriegsmarine gets less resources allocated during rearmament.
I imagine much like OTL it achieves some temporary successes before the Allies adopt counter tactics. It will also bleed out the supply of Japanese aircraft and pilots needed for conventional defence.
Basically this, they were remarkably lucky with the quality of the French leadership in 1940, French Army HQ lacking little luxuries like telephones and radio, and the Soviets in 1941, Stalin refusing to believe an invasion was coming even with practically the entire Wehrmacht on the border and...
Politicians say a great many things in public, in private everyone knew Major was doomed in 1997. His party was succumbing to faction fighting over Europe Black Wednesday had trashed their reputation for economic competence and there had been one sleaze scandal after another.
As for Bush Snr...
