But wasn't that strategy completely useless against Iran, considering that it was Iraq that was attacking Iran and so Iraq should have chosen offensive strategies to overcome its enemy.

I watched the Holy Grail, the Life of Brian and some shorter sketches.

Uhhh... What?

Angola could be a candidate. South America is problematic because the USSR had no possibility of supplying a country on this continent.

Could the US have successfully conducted an amphibious landing in North Vietnam, followed by an offensive on Hanoi? And would the US have won the war by taking Hanoi and occupying large parts of North Vietnam?

Does the POD have to be after 1900?

How did you lose this papers? Also, how far on the road to social revolution would Röhm have gone after defeating the Reichswehr and taking power? Would an alliance between "National Socialism" and "Bolshewism" have been possible? And how strong would the antisemitism of the...

Maybe WW2 wouldn't happen at all. OTL WW2 was only possible because Germany was humiliated but not weakened enough to prevent a second war. France wanted to break Germany's back in 1919, foe example by annexing the Ruhr area, but Great Britain was opposed to it for fear of a French hegemony on...

Napoleon III's first step to victory is staying in Paris. He was very ill, he was in great pain and couldn't concentrate. He had an outdated military training and almost no experience. His presence with the army was a liability, his capture meant the end the French Empire. If he stayed at home...

AFAIK Kaliningrad was more of a prize trophy, the heart of "Prussian militarism" now being under Soviet control (a bad comparison: imagine an enemy of the US annexing Philadelphia and confiscating the Liberty Bell).

I think you're underestimating both the prerequisites and the consequences of the Industrial Revolution. The condition for the complete revolution of production, labor relations and scientific progress that was the industrialization wasn't just "placing all the workers" in a central location...

May I ask who "we" are?

Sorry, I can't follow you there.

Kurdistan was actually guaranteed independence (unpartitioned) in the Treaty of Sevres.

Yes but human labor is not enough for a complete revolution of production, transportation and economy.

That's for sure. However, if you're alluding to ancient slavery, it's influence on technological progress (or the lack thereof) is still disputed in historical science.

On the bottom left the gay Nazi stereotype?
