Well, it depends on if the Baltic Fleet munity, either joining or forming the rogue government. If Yeltsin loses control the Baltic Fleet, his chances of putting down the renegades would plummet drastically. Also, it depends on how charitable the Baltic states and Poland would be in allowing...

I'd put better odds on the Soviet government surviving as a rogue state in Kaliningrad Oblast than a Central Asian rump USSR. The Soviet Union is dead the moment its core member and federal capital secedes. If the remaining Central Asian states band together, it won't be a continuation of the...

Chiang (or whoever replaces him) would have to think very long term on this one, and accept that defeating the Communists would take loads of time. First order of business, as other said, would be to root out the Communist spy networks and consolidate its control over the south, though winning...

Bards will sing ballads of the chad who played all sides and came out strongest, if only by the skin of his teeth.

The overlords may have changed, but the scheming never stops.

The Imjin War actually fared as well as the Toyotomi could ever hope for in real life. Joseon was plagued by court intrigues and infighting at the time, which served to cripple their military's response to the invasion and hold back Yi Sun Sin's efforts to defend the kingdom, up to being demoted...

Regardless of whether Katsuyori survives, the Takeda is done for as a major daimyo clan. Even if Katsuyori survives, the most he can do past that point is submit to the Toyotomi, or another major clan like the Tokugawa. Most likely, he'll have to stomach being a mere retainer, as other members...

I feel like Ananda could have remained emperor and established a true Muslim dynasty in China, if he had put in a lot more tact to supporting non-Muslim institutions on equal or more favourable terms than Islamic ones. Sadly, he did too much to affirm suspicions that he's a proto-Aurangzeb, too...

Nonsense! Super Earth is but a benign managed democracy dedicated to exporting freedom and liberty to the cosmos! It's the freedom-hating robots and bugs who are wrong!

Why does that panel remind me of this?

Machiavelli would write entire epics about this man, and how foolish the lords who hired him were.

Real life is not a Paradox Interactive game. At no point in Ireland's history is it ever willing or able to reclaim Northern Ireland by force, a fact that is thankfully acknowledged by Irish politicians both then and now. Of course, in the event of a mass absence of common sense, Ireland can...

With such a meager size, Zheltuga is very unlikely to survive without racking up several miracles at once. In the end, they would have to swear fealty to either Russia or the Qing, and pay tribute to the suzerain to ensure their own survival. It's not total independence, but it's not as if they...

After the Fourth Crusade, yea, not as big of an achievement past that point, and I doubt they'll be able to rebuild its grandeur like the Ottomans had.

Mongol-Byzantine relations were shaky but holding at the time. IOTL, Andronikos II had an alliance with Ghazan of the Ilkhanate. Might end up under pressure to cough up more tribute to ward them off, or even tempted to join the fight on their side in exchange for more territory.
