Right, which is why i said at least 3 Million staying in the Pale of Settlement, and I meant 'the Russian Pale of Settlement' (since there was no Polish or Lithuanian one).
There were over 5 Million Jews in the Pale of Settlement in 1897 (see here, one of my former professors: https://yannayspitzer.net/2012/07/22/a-new-map-of-jewish-communities-in-the-russian-empire/). Based on your map, most of those areas remained part of the Russian Empire. I'd say at least 3...
Feels like something is missing here... maybe it should be "but the referenda, scheduled for 1918, would not come about before the fragile truce would shatter once more..."?
Also, good on the Russians for actually winning at this stage! Wonder if they have a Brusilov in store for the later...
This honestly has (to my mind) some pretty serious ramifications in terms of the future, beyond the Arabian campaign - I'm thinking about the battles of Cynoscephalae and Pydna against the Roman Legions. A more flexible phalanx (which this sounds like) with more varied combat capability might be...
Fascinating, and great stuff!
Opis here is just what it was in OTL, yes? That was a great speech, to be honest. I'm guessing you're mentioning it here for context with the rest of Alexander's reforms?
Alexander's reforms are very interesting. Obviously, they're meant with the Arabian style of...
Yes, but there's more than that. The Jewish calendar is based off the Babylonian one, and they add an intercalary month, but there's also the fact that they have day begin at sunset
This is all excellent, and I can't wait to see more! Also very impressed by the appendices, clearly you know what you're talking about! Also, the calendar stuff was fascinating, because this is a system very similar to the one used by the Jewish religion.
Urgh, sad that Magnus doesn't get full credit and that Westmoreland isn't more vilified... but all's well that ends well. Anna seems to be doing excellently and will continue to do so... let's see how she faces the last of the 20 Years War.
Ahhhhh, yessss, I was right, so happy to see it. Sad Magnus couldn't survive to enjoy it, but I'm sure he'll become a Britannic hero for killing Richard.
Hmmm, wonder what will end up happening in Bradbury. Honestly, if I was Ui Neill, this is the time to make peace. You've probably freed...
Fucking hell, victory and defeat all in one. This cannot be fun for John, winning victories only to then see Bohemia lost, along with his most capable military commanders and civil administrator. On the other hand, the strategic situation for him is actually the best - the north and east flanks...
Interesting, no Gloucester line nobles in here... I guess even though their lands might be restored, their fortunes now lie in Prussia, with England just a nice source of capital. I assume Magnus's lands were passed to his grandson, and the Gloucester lands held by a steward?
No official...
Something's wrong here - the Prince is called Louis, but then the text says 'Henri's son Louis', impying he's Henri and his heir is Louis, but the text continues to refer to him as Louis. I think you mean 'Louis' son Henri'?

Interesting stuff, hope everything in your life is going well...
My god. In this timeline, Lebanon and Israel are actually Levantine in the old sense of the word, that is, essentially Europeans?
Seems to me like in this timeline, the Middle East and Egypt got off a lot better
