I often wondered waht happens in Europe (and Maybe elsewhere) if Napoleon wins the Battle of Belle Alliance. Lets assume Blücher gets the order to retreat instead of "supporting" Wellington - as further consequence Grouchy arriving early.
As I want to "avoid" the line of discussion that he will...
One Thing that should be "cleared" is how the POD affected Military preparation A) in the Americas and B) Overall.
Except for the most recent PODs something WILL have changed.
The US and Canada did no "buildup" because there was no Need. But if the Relation of the Anglo Brethren cooled down to...
LOL - Thats true in OTL Austria too - all the -nik, -nic, nig(g) are of Slavic descent. Like a certain Schuschnigg, or the Former Styrian Landeshauptfrau Klasnic
Often they are even more Austrian than the Austrians
But we have one more Thing to remember: Until 1945 (Maybe even later) The...
On the "Military Side" the Absence of the US is indeed a sign that the CPs can win
The Ottomans still hold their own in 1916 - and even in 1917 the losses are not that bad in the Palestine area. In Mesopotamia the Situation is more dire after the loss of Bagdad, but the Brits stopped for the...
1943 is a tad bit late (as others posted before), but
WHAT IF
an assassination of one two or all three happend earlier - and not necessarily at the same time.
And not necessarily the assasinations can be traced to Germany?
What if for example if Stalin is murdered sometime after 1938 (when...
There is - Noricum (the Kingdom) had salt mines (very productive) and more important the so called "Ferrum Noricum" was "weapon" grade iron (IIRC high mangane and low phospor content) - in Addition there was (IIRC) Gold found in Noricum.
The "Regnum Noricum" was (one of) the last...
Austria maintained a 300k army just "over the border of Russia"
IF Austria does not do that it:
A) saves Money (which would go into modernisation of the army instead - much needed in later conflicts)
B) does not anger Russia (making diplomacy easier the next decades)
C) the CW does get...
Actually doing better in North America is not necessary to "win" the war - France Needs only to win on "the green table".
;)
I assume that France (and ist allies) Winning the will mean that the French Colonial Empire remains intact and some disputed territories will shift towards the French...
Honestly I alwas was under the impression that "Vorderösterreich" (German name for Hitehr Austria) was to be menat to be part of the deal (except Vorarlberg and maybe a few more territories that were near "Bavaria") I simply did not add it - my fault ;)
Emperor Joseph II wanted to aquire Bavaria wwhen the Bavarian Wittelsbach line died out in 1777. In the end he managed only to aquire the "Innviertel" - that is Bavarian territory on the right bank of the river Inn. (Treaty of Teschen 1779). Bavaria was inherited by the Palatinate Wittelsbach...
Thats wrongly assuming "our modern" "Concept of the age of consent. At the Time (in A-H) you would be considered to be an adult only with your 24st Birthday. When Ferdinand abdicated Franz Joseph had to be declared an adult (Fürst Schwarzenberg proclaimed that) - it would be no problem to...
