I'm not sure if Disney could have gone any other way. One of the major difference between the 2008-2016 Great Recession and the Great Depression of 1929-1939/41 was that the former tapped into a much more sober mentality among the population. Instead of using media as a form of whimsical...

Have Japan avoiding wars that they might lose and thus their empire, and continue their... displacing and cultural imposition of the natives until those places become clones of the home islands. In fact a surprising degree of that did occur in Taiwan, with even significant segments of the...

Didn't the refit/rebuild of their older battleships delayed the construction of the Littorios by some months?

I thought my joke was pretty obvious when I said the "while hard" part. I tend to have a more love hate relations with that trope, mostly because I like to write pointlessly evil factions and seeing said factions wallowing in their self made misery.

Which would certainly strike terror in the hearts of the enemy!

Hard times calls for hard men to make hard choices, while hard.

They were also running out of supplies and the rest of the country was still trying to sort itself out from the failure of the great leap forward. They were in no condition to push anything more than then did OTL.

Iowa class are actually battlecruisers for the abortive Montana class, change my mind.

Butterfly effect, presumbly.

Don't they teach all the boots how to make an MRE last at least a day, if not a week? Or is that just a Marine boot camp/MCT/ITB thing? Also for some reason I never seen 22 Beef Goulash before, and how dare you not mentioning the first strike bar? That shit has a higher value than the skittles...

I don't know about that, the first air bombing was in 1912 when the Italians bombed the Ottomans, not to mention WWI actually stunted aviation development as far as top speed and aerodynamics are concerned (I remember reading somewhere that while due to racing pre war aviation development went...

Implies the average person cares enough to bother look at where their stuff came from and will acknowledge the uncomfortable truth. Even in OTL most of us don't care what it took for our cheap goods & affordable gas came from.

The obvious get around would be to get a group of people on discord (or whatever you younglings use these days) and share the pics there, and have each person post 3 pics. Or use an image hosting site and combine 20 pics into one massive pic, but I wouldn't recommend that.

Or you could have something akin to Company of Heroes 2, where it's the Soviet Campaign but pretty much all the Soviet characters are evil, incompetent, and stupid. (note, this is what I remember being some youtuber complaining about the game's campaign back when it was first released, not sure...

Imperial Japan of the 1910s was a very different creature than the Imperial Japan of the 1930s, it was a time before they fully went cray cray. In fact, in OTL one of the reasons they went nuts was being snubbed post WWI, in which they felt that they weren't given the rewards they deserved.

Trust me, I can always go even dumber...

Until oil becomes much more popular...

The man who fed a starving Europe in the aftermath of WWI will bring work to a unemployed America... if he could pull an FDR and greatly expand federal powers. Not as crazy since a depression of that level might as well be a national emergency akin to that of fighting a major war (which was...

I think he's more of an opportunist and a power hungry SOB, like Alcibiades in the Peloponnesian War...

"In the name of the gods, go kill yourself." Rallying cry of the 'basics' in their war against their overlords (which in all traditional and conventional senses were their gods) in what might be perhaps the bloodiest revolt in galactic history.
