Given that the Napoleonic and Revolutionary wars could be described as "Britain and France fight nonstop for nearly twenty years" I think this might be a tad awkward. It's why I talked about how Joan of Arc would probably fade into obscurity TTL since she was a symbol of French resistance to...

William after his conquest had a fairly uninteresting reign outside of some massacres here and there and creating the doomsday book.

I figured that due to a great deal of territorial overlap between his empire and the ECF and how his legends paint him as a restorer of civilization to lands lost to barbarism and someone tirelessly devoted to building a new and unified Europe (even to the point of proposing marriage to Empress...

"History is the second world war, the age of exploration, the crusades, the Carolingian renaissance, byzantium, the roman empire, greece and a bit of Egypt with some token Indian stuff. What do you mean there's a bunch of other stuff between all that?"

The Saudis were still the most hardline dynasty out of them, the Hashemites and the Rashiduns. I'm not sure if the 1979 seizure would even happen given that it was inspired by the Iranian Islamic revolution while TTL's Iran is a secular socialist state.

There'd probably be a dedicated nature documentary and a dedicated children's programming channel given the popularity of those among television viewers. Children's programming is probably split into two channels, one for under fives and one for older kids. Could possibly be split further by...

Though thinking about it, voting might be mandatory the world over on pain of fines or even jail time depending on where you are. I could see the latter in places like Singapore.

More "neighbourly" apartments are rather close to communal living. The apartments where everyone knows each other and often celebrate holidays together in particular. That's the TTL ideal instead of a lonely house surrounded by picket fences keeping away neighbours like a castle. Americans...

They have a somewhat short time window to do so and of course, in an open shooting war (albeit one that only part of the Czechoslovak army even partakes in) more might become casualties.

The Sudeten agreement goes ahead as planned but the German occupation of the rest of Czechoslovakia is by violent invasion after Section 9 and the GUGB help organize a revolt in Czechoslovakia by anti-German elements in the army. It's a valiant but ultimately utterly doomed fight as Hungary and...

The people on the Island of Cuba are immaterial, the most important resource Cuba has to the ECF is its geographical proximity to continental North America. In the high stakes game of grand strategy, the entire population of the island is expendable as long as its ability to be used as a port...

Stalin's consolidation of power was largely a response to the isolation of the USSR and its lack of allies and reliable trade partners, thus for the CPSU to hold onto power and develop the Soviet Union resorted to intense methods of control so as to root out attempts at overthrow and also to...

Well, the response the commander got is probably not suitable for a star wars film. ;)

I do like this but I am confused a bit by the usage of citation marks with no citation at the bottom. My only criticism though is that "liberterian" remains a leftist term. OTL Properterians are just called Market Liberals.

A short true story piece about the Integralists in the Rainforests. Ghosts of Bogata Ever hear of the story of how a Cuban Mobster, a Colombian girl, an Amazonian native, a Rabbi, and a former Indian soldier teamed up to kill a Green Guardsman who fled into the Amazon? Sounds like the lead...

I'm not particularly sure, though here Chaing is mostly asking the Japanese to please consider how much trouble they're making for him with their lackadaisical attitude to the misbehaviour of their troops. It's hard to present yourself as legitimate when your patron throws babies into the air...

They didn't like Chiang Kai Shek very much to begin with.

Excerpt from China in the Second world war by General (class AAAAA) Leang Dragon dance The commencement of operation Onikaze fell on 5:30 AM on the 13th of July 1939. Japan and the traitor Chinese objectives were to crush the spirit of the Chinese army and to drive the front lines as far...

No problem. Quick question, are you in the discord server?

I really don't think that people in the Comintern would fall into the OTL mistake of calling social liberals and right social democracy "socialism" or fall into other "socialism is when the government does stuff" memes.
