... and will get bigger and bigger ;) with time. but colloquially of course it will be known as simply "UK". The constitutional structure will be a unitary, parliamentary, [non-codified] constitutional monarchy with local 'devolutions' of power, which shall be determined by Acts of the...

Absolutely agree!

northeast was very low populated. The ethnic majoroty or plurality Bulgarian territory was ~2.5 times wider then the nowadays OTL one. SO, the Ottoman empire could entrust the autonomy to take care of more or less ALL of it's European / Balkan territories.

Bulgarian liberation is unavoidable. Mainly because of demographic reasons. The number ot ethnic Bulgarians in the empire nears the number of ethnic Turks ( at least in Anatolia ). The trick for the Ottoman empire to win the game is it itself to orchestrate the "liberation", such manner...

In fact UK DID HAVE the constitutional/legal :: framework, history, experience, infrastructure to incorporate the 13 colonies into UK "Homeland nations". Like reversed devolution of a de jure Unitary state. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Union#Details_of_the_Treaty Pls, pay special...

I do not agree. If they have let BG autonomous ( i.e. resolving the BG question themselves then letting the other Powers to interfere ), this would make them stronger, especially by furnishing themselves with strong "internal ally", THUS redirecting their resources ( + the resources of apeaced...

OR successful Constantinople ( Tsarigrad ) Conference, and in 1877 - two Bulgarian regions with wide internal autonomy. i.e. preventing the war, indeed.

Won't a same scale incendiary attack cause more damage and pain then poison would? I still think ( especially, and indeed think more, after your calculations, Alexcoppo ) that chemical weapons haven't been used simply because they do not work.

I guess the simple and true answer of "why they haven't used chemical weapons" is because chems are NOT PRACTICAL for actual military/combat usage.

pa_dutch, Yes. I readed the same demographic figures for OTL pre-WW1 Anatolian populations. In OTL it starts from this ( 6mln. turks, 2mln. greeks, 2mln. armenians, 3mln.others ) and via different demographic mechanisms goes to the present day OTL situation of NO greeks and armenians...

Official - Russian. + Greek & Armenian & Assyrian Aftermath: This *Central powers of 4 win the *WW1 :: A-H takes Western half of Serbia, Moldova, Montenegro, Sandjak, Lybia & Egypt Bulgaria takes Eastern half of Serbia, Albania, Greece, Wallahia, all the ex-Ottoman European provinces less...

Russia sides/backs Bulgaria in the Balkan wars instead of playing anti-Bulgaria as in OTL. If they WERE only smarter and not so much shortsighted, these bloody Russians... Bulgaria takes Constantinople, and then gives it to its ally Russia. The borderlines are at Chataldja and Bulair (...

Combination. Of course. Indeed it is the most logical, because anyway ( even territorialized ) the position of the Bulgarian Exarch is of "head of the Bulgarian people" / "bulgar milletbashi" under the Millet system of the Ottoman Empire. The Exarch is elected for life by the Holy Sinode...

Not just Med-like but part of the Med system the way Black and Asov seas are. USSR succeeded = crazy enough leader + enough money/economics to pay for the charges. Perhaps the PoD could be some PNEs race, equivalent of the Space race? BUT, back to my questions, could a.o. of us make decent...
