Would getting rid if Hitler actually improve Germany's military situation? While the German military commanders were masters of operation, they had little grasp of great strategy and might not even realize how bad the situation it until it's too late to change anything. I wonder how the...

The interesting thing will be that China will be an internationally recognized regional power from the start. It's part of the American sphere and has a seat on the UN Security Council. I'm pretty sure that the US will exert quite some pressure on Japan to resolve its conflicts with China...

Roman Republican cavalry was weak because, just like Athenian cavalry, it lacked the numbers under the Republican militia system. Also, Rome's early opponents, the tribes of the Italic mountains, fought them in mountainous terrain, so the Romans had no real incentive to develop a strong mobile...

Thank you for the information! So you would prefer the 2017 game over the 1991 one? But which one is more realistic!

If you're alluding to the Popular Front: The leftist government spend more money for defense than the previous conservative governments.

What do you think are the main differences between the original and the new game? I only played the game on steam.

Troy's final revenge!

Suetonius lived under Hadrian. Tacitus, too, was a historian of the early 2nd century.

Just hope that he doesn't decide to become his own lawyer.

Just because he polished up his performance in his memoirs (and also try to trick the readers into believing that he had nothing to do with war crimes) he wasn't a bad general. He was a pretty able commander, actually. The same goes for Rommel. He wasn't an unstoppable military genius, but he...

Jews and Muslim generally had a better status than pagans or heretics. Heresies were banned in a general sense, and heretics subject to systematic persecution under certain emperors. Meanwhile, Jews enjoyed freedom of religion since Julius Caesar, and Muslims were protected against persecutions...

At some point in Byzantine history there was a mosque in Constantinople, for tradesmen IIRC.

But why should France and Britain intervene on the Soviet side in a German-Soviet war? As much as the WAllies dislike Hitler, they are anticommunists to the core, so I don't think they would want to sabotage the destruction of the Soviet Union.

He did continue Lenin's policy, but originally, he wanted to integrate all SSRs into the USSR. That plan was opposed by Lenin.

To know how it happens is pretty important to speculate about what will happen. An unrelated example is a surviving Roman Empire: The Roman Empore of the 1st century surviving will have very different consequences compared to a survival of Constantine's state. The same goes for the scenario you...

The German proposal involved a plebiscite in the west and also in Schleswig (the map doesn't mentions the latter one); it also wanted to reserve to Austria an option to join Germany.

If Austria gets to decide which country it will belong to in the future, this right should be a fortiori granted to Elsaß-Lothringen and South Tyrol. Especially the latter will most likely decide to remain with Austria, as it has no ethnic or historic connection to Italy whatsoever. A...

If he chooses to take on another regnal name, he will have been known as Charles longer than as George. Moreover, I wonder if George will stick if he rules under this name for a couple of years after decades of just being "Prince Charles."

Enrichissez-vous par le travail et par l'épargne – worst defense of the limited franchise ever.

Any sources for that? Only that he accepted the crown as part of the Erfurt Union project. The Union constitution, approved by the kings of Prussia, Hanover and Saxony in 1849 and confirmed by an elected German parliament in 1850, made the king of Prussia president of the union. There was no...
