That's not how things work in reality. The US government contrary to popular belief is pretty stable. The federal government has a bad day, sure things get slowed down, there is a bit of a mess, but succession protocols go into effect, the states elect new representatives and the USA goes for...

Maybe not intervene in full... and I would say that depends, and in full has varying degrees of wiggle room in the phrase. It didn't stop the soviets from getting involved in Cuba, in Korea, in Vietnam ... maybe not in full..... But, hey

I would think it would be pretext for what triggered an invasion. The west might be fine with say limited or even joint invasion and split the spoils in a north south manner. Iran did a lot to piss off everyone in 79/80 But as others have said, maybe the USA and the west pick a group that...

If you have a fascist Germany not bent on wars of conquest then why not? Austria was more than willing to join Germany. Austrians looked as themselves as German .. ost dutchen ...yes, but German. Since the end of WW1 Austria lost its empire and was but a shell of itself. Many and most...

Depending on factors of course I could see Germany and Austria merging into one nation. Potential restoration of the monarchy in a qusi constitutional manner. If this Germany is not as hell bent on revanchism and plunging Europe into war, then some sort of peace is made with Poland and...

That was a big part of it ;) This is true, target needs would be the primary concern that standard bombs weren't able to take care of.

Spoke like a Brit ... Just remember who saved your royal keasters. :)

You still have the problem that west Germany isn't that stupid, not does it have the military to take on both east and west .. again.. August 45 ended large scale European war up until now. (Now that said Germany was no solely responsible for world war 1 .. it wasn't blameless .. but...

Amen The 30s and 20s had speak easies ... jazz and blues clubs .. the mythical evil weed ... post fact laws have nothing to do with this.. times change ... the linger it takes change the more taught the rubber and becomes ... then finally it just gives as pressure for changes build...

Going to disagree on your take on Nuremberg. Germany was a defeated nation, the atrocities committed were beyond the pale. The Germans themselves changed laws post ex facto to give legal precedence to barbaric murder. They also broke every agreement ever made between Nazi Germany and the...

I still don't understand .. Nuremberg didn't have anything to do with counter culture .. no one .. cared if Nazi officials hanged or went to prison for crimes against humanity. What really drove the counter culture was the post war boom...korea .. rock n roll.. people free of the depression...

N Nuremberg was justified, how or where is this questioned?! I don't know of an American history book that would say otherwise. I think a part you are missing is the fact that women worked factories during the war, women were just as smart as men (still are), minorites especially African...

While I agree the presence in northern Virginia isn't what it should be, what the metro doesn't cover train does. No metro service is perfect granted, but it is an overall gem for being built so late, well after world war 2 and has constant expansion in mind where it makes sense As for Vegas...

DC metro again.. actually a large portion of metros were built after WW2 .. so not so tricky

Built in 1901 The op either doesn't understand america is more than New York, or two the only subway he has heard of. America has quite a few. Granted public transport is still not that great as america is built for the car. Major cities that can support them, have them . Maybe not...
