IIRC the caretakers for his elephants and at least some of his stock were Asian, but they were from the Near East, not India.

The idea that the South could win the Civil War is as ridiculous as the Germans winning WWII. They were outclassed in every single measure and by a significant margin. The Confederates had some very good generals and were able to mobilize armies remarkably fast, but that's it. Unless the Army of...

This is officially a Napoleonic timeline. Vive L'Empereur!

>Weimar >old liberal order ok buddy. Weimar Germany wasn't even old enough to drive when Hitler came into power.

Old Believers settled in Oregon OTL, they might end up in Onallan instead.

Just do a standard Song industrialization POD. Then have the Chinese traders who now have steam ships get into a trade conflict with the Iberians who are pirating their Mediterranean trade for Central European silver and Venetian glass and velvet. They occupy Lisbon and annex Almada to keep an...

The main thing is that the European empires had their cores far removed from their periphery. It was impossible for Shaka Zulu or the Sepoys to march on London and capture the king. This also meant civil wars between internal factions of the government couldn't be intervened in by the ruled. The...

That's So Galen!

The Romans know how big the Earth is. They know it would be suicide to try to take a voyage just as long in the open sea.

tfw everything south of Mason-Dixon and east of the Mississippi becomes Federal Territories

Damn this timeline makes me feel bad for the Russians. Does anyone know of a TL where the 90s go great for the USSR/Russia?

Wow these maps really put in perspective how scary that Ottoman conquest must be for Germans. Turks in the Alps.

So the idea is that the UK, while being a bigger economy than Germany, would go broke before Germany? Germany imported just as much food as Britain, as shown earlier in the thread. Germany was literally starving and had serious supply problems in 1918, but a couple more U-Boats were going to...

It's a possible scenario, but one that is unlikely to hold as Germany grows. Austria will still be brought into the Prussian alliance, and Britain will have soured against the French. France will have to support a huge army for the Rhine and its main benefit will be keeping the Germans from...

I'd say that if the Mongol conquests never happened and someone made a TL where they did happen, people would decry it as ASB and a major Khalka-wank. It wouldn't necessarily be, if the author described in detail Temujin's rise and why he was able to implement the reforms he did, but it would at...

It would be interesting to see Poland and the Ottomans form a lasting friendship. Funny because not too long before this they were nemeses.

He literally wrote the book on modern guerilla warfare. It's called On Guerilla Warfare. There's also another book by him on guerrilla warfare called On Protracted War.

To put this in context for everyone else, the population of Great Britain in 1801 was 10.5 million.

I'm not on the discord. I'm unconvinced by arguments that I haven't seen. And if those resources are untapped, then why are they untapped and how are they useful to the AFS untapped? Is the Comintern in general poorer than the AFS? Because the AFS in 2018 only has a marginal population...

I guess Jeff Davis was too big to fail. It seems like the South(aka the general population) was punished but not the conspirators who actually committed the crime.
