** The Fall of Nanjing Preparations for the defense of Nanjing were begun immediately upon the arrival of Shi Kefa and his general staff on June 8th. The general was well aware that the end was nigh, but he was determined to meet his face rather than to face the disgrace of surrender. Shi’s...

Excellent response, there. :rolleyes: Anyhow, killing Kings, Empresses, Ministers and even the very President of the United States did little to gain the Anarchists the support or reputation they would have wanted, so I have no reason to believe that killing this guy, Frick, would have any...

I think that a War of Napoleonic succession would be fun. Imagine: Napoleon dies in 1811-1812 and you have the Imperial Army split between those who support Joseph and those who support the infant Napoleon II. Alternatively: Spain in the early 19th century. If Carlos IV dies and...

Ah, the Christmas Special, that sounds intriguing as well.

But I forgot to explain. These threads never go anywhere because the OP is often short and vague and made with incorrect notions about Japan, whereas those who respond often do so with the same basic level of knowledge about Japan or East Asian Affairs, meaning that what they do is throw vague...

This isn't a good one either. Europe is a continent, Japan is an island-nation. Surely I don't have to explain the difference.

Ah, the "Japan doesn't close up" thread of the week. I thought these one came every tuesday, not every wednesday. So much for efficient government. :rolleyes: And so did many Japanese people. Well, not many, but quite a few. The warring states period started in the 1400s. You can't...

Yeah, I'm horribly lazy that way. I guess that's the problem when not putting that much effort in dealing with foreign languages. :p

Actually, the opposite is true: Chile was desperate for an Atlantic Port and for the second half of the 19th century laid claim to Patagonia up to the Desaguadero River, all the moves Argentina made being made solely because the Chileans moved first. Up to 1880 no one (on the Argentine side)...

Alright, stop arguing. Enough with the generalizations and poorly constructed arguments. Neither of you is being racist, just annoying. Just stop derailing the thread.

Does ō read as ou just like if it was an umlaut or was the writer just British and adding Us to everything? Interesting to see Ezo conquered earlier. Way easier to have the Ainu resist more, sadly. Wait, no Siberian Hysteria reference in Ezo? Oh, well maybe next time :p

The lack of interest is disheartening, but understandable since I expect few people to know who Blanqui is. Even I, who know who the guy is, know very little about his life or ideas. Anyhow, there's nothing wrong with the scenario per se, although I do wonder about the difficulties in keeping...

Not anymore than a Canadian-Mexican war in which Texas and Montana are allied with Mexico but the US is neutral. Anyhow, this could theoretically happen, it just would not be the IOTL war. Here's a thought: Rosas is toppled in one of the Civil Wars of 1840: Paraguay, Uruguay and the...

We could have Rosas win the Battle of Caseros in 1852 and have Brazil create a puppet Republic of Mesopotamia with Entre Rios and Corrientes, but that means way too many butterflies. Otherwise, yes, Civil war in 1865, which is not that unlikely.

Vino para decir "che".

Does it need so many pictures? The text is short, coherent and clearly written from a ITTL perspective, nothing to criticize there, but please don't fall into the obnoxious practice posters nowadays have of over reliance on pictures over text.

I'd say something, but I think I prefer this. The Shimabara Rebellion is far gone and I dunno about what you could do with the Keian Uprising or the ronin behind it. On the other hand, Tokugawa Iemitsu's death in 1651 left the Shogunate with a small bunch of underaged heirs, the oldest...

Star Wars, Call of Cthulhu, Kubla Khan, Wrath of Khan, Ozymandias. Can't tell the others. Dunno about the rings bit...it is classic Ironman villain, the Mandarin, lord of the Ten Rings?
