I'm curious, are you a cunt in real life as well, or do you simply never leave the basement often enough to know for sure?

I have tried. I am very unimpressed. It now serves as a very large coaster and thing for the cats to lay upon.

Oh god, I bought this book without thinking. Oh god, I paid money for this. *weeps in the corner*

Paul, I must reiterate my feeling that every time you post "improve" or "better" and "political" together that I expect your entry to end with the following quote: While you make this face:

Thank you for all your hard work generating that list. It was long but pointless.

Indeed. I do believe IDU has standards.

By the end of February 1919 the White movement in Germany is effectively dead, collapsing in on itself as 'moderate' military officers and units change allegiances to the National Revolutionary Council. The resistance of the various shades of Reds in the NRC to the Franco-Belgian invasion is...

In retrospect, most historians question the judgment of Generals Ludendorff and Hindenburg in ordering their troops to retreat from the Rhineland rather than resisting the Franco-Belgian invasion force because this might have allowed them to maintain most of their military strength for fighting...

Alright gents, this is a start up for a new TL I'm going to do, which I have dubbed the "Anti-Undecided Peace" (The Undecided Peace was a rather lengthy TL I did back when). That said... This TL is based on the idea on a more successful (but far costlier) Entente campaign in 1918...

After repeated requests for a continuation of the TL I will do so in the near future, we will see how soon.
