  1. The Co-Prosperity Sphere

    I can already imagine anti-war newspapers arguing that "They already solidly hold China, Indochina, Malaya and DEI. Do you want our soldiers to cross and take all this huge land, with bamboo brigades and kamikazes everywhere ? ".
  2. The Co-Prosperity Sphere

    Also, while the British and US opinion will dehumanize the CPS nations, they will also wonder even more "Why do our men have to die fighting savages in this godforsaken land, fuck this shit".
  3. The Co-Prosperity Sphere

    Criminal but efficient. On top of that, it might push Allied troops to become more brutal and to dehumanize more their enemies. Especially as the Japanese will also start to send suicide bombers as well as old, outdated airplanes as kamikazes against Allied ground forces. Even if the Allied...
  4. The Co-Prosperity Sphere

    Persecuting Protestantism won't create problems at all with Germany down the line...
  5. The Co-Prosperity Sphere

    I can see the USA becoming angry as the Amerika Bomber targets them (even if the actual damage is limited), and that combined with the Germans taking the Caucasus and Moscow, and the Japanese winning in China and threatening India (in other words, the Axis becoming more and more unassailable)...
  6. The Co-Prosperity Sphere

    Can they really use Iraqi oil though ? Logistics will be a bitch there, with distances (across Anatolia and the Balkans), lack of modern infrastructure (in most of Iraq and Turkey), Allied air and commando attacks... Though, even if they don't use it themselves (yet), of course denying it to...
  7. The Co-Prosperity Sphere

    Does Italy know about Libyan oil ? If not, the ACP should be strained with only Romania as a oil source...
  8. Denmark joins the German CONFEDERATION

    I agree with that, but from a Bismarck POV, are those benefits worth alienating Britain and the USA ?
  9. Denmark joins the German CONFEDERATION

    Bismarck might then immediately sell the colonies to UK and USA. To him, colonial expansion was never worth alienating Great Powers (nor a big priority). Also, he didn't even take French colonies in 1871.
  10. The Sun, The Stars and The Sickle: Alt-WWII and a Tripolar Postwar World

    What about Allied ground forces on the Eastern Front, joining the Red Army ?
  11. Separated at Birth: America and Drakia

    The Draka invading Spain, Russia, or both, would be perfect for the USA. They would show to the world that they're willing to rape, enserf and impale millions of European White Christian people (which wouldn't fly well), expand into Europe (so other countries would fear to be next), and would...
  12. The Co-Prosperity Sphere

    Wolfenstein might be about the Soviets (Red Alert-style), or the British or Americans instead of Nazis.
  13. Separated at Birth: America and Drakia

    But the USA might be stopped then through less bloody means : oppressed minorities agitating from their rights within, and occupied countries agitating too, and rival countries banding together, and the cost of occupying countries while facing rival powers rising. With the rising human and...
  14. Separated at Birth: America and Drakia

    Exactly that. The USA forces its protectorates to relinquish control of foreign policy, the Draka enserf their subjects.
  15. Separated at Birth: America and Drakia

    Well, normally I'm not a fan of the military dragging a country into global war for imperialistic purposes, but the target is the Draka, so...
  16. Trapped Fox, a WW2 TL

    Following this with interest, I want to see more of Rommel's failure.
  17. What if Britain had stayed out of WW1?

    Britain neutral in WWI likely butterflies away the Representation of the People Act (1918) that allowed all men and part of women to vote, and expanded the electorate from 7.7 to 21.4 millions of voters. This, in itself, has a huge impact on British society and policies, including foreign policy.
  18. DBWI: No Japanese occupation of North Korea

    One of the biggest successes of LAPA was to brokering a true peace deal (that worked) between India and Pakistan. Of course, regime change in Pakistan helped a lot too. Anyway, both India and Pakistan are thinking about joining LAPA. India was already on good terms with Japan and Vietnam (and...
  19. DBWI: No Japanese occupation of North Korea

    Do you think the LAPA (Latin America and Pacific Alliance) will be a success ? It arose from the growing ties between Japan and Latin America, but soon grew to encompass Taiwan, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Filipinos and Malaya, which were all tired of being pushed around by China, and thrown under...
  20. DBWI: No Japanese occupation of North Korea

    The USA and Europe refusing to support Japan, and even enacting embargo measures, didn't help either. If the West had supported Japan, then China and South Korea would have been forced to back off ; NK guerillas would have been stamped faster ; and last but not least, Japan would have had more...
