The Disaster Upon the River Plate

Because this is a different, far more competent Hitler. He's shown a lot of practicality and flexibility in this TL.

Well when it came down to it, the Soviet Union ended up patronizing the Orthodox Church in WWII to get more people to fight Germany. If it's a war of survival, then I bet this Hitler would rather be practical than go full Cultural Revolution during a war.

I wouldn't say they were close to parity any more than China is close to parity with NATO and Japan OTL. Definitely too powerful to collapse or invade, but it has significantly less than half the GDP of NATO and Japan. Way better ratio than the Comintern vs NATO and friends, but not close to...

Revolt on the Nile? I wonder what the basis is. Most likely Muslims angry at Christian law, but then again, the Copts never liked outsiders. Also I would love to hear about the status of the Coptic Pope. Like what his relationship with the Venetian state and now middle-class Copts is.

And yet nobody was prosecuted

Yeah the FBU worked with the Comintern against the first fascist menace. Why not this one?

What I don't understand is how it's a crime to resist arrest from a federal marshal, but forming an army and marching on Washington with the intent to overthrow the government isn't a crime. It's a clear example about how the rich and powerful can do literally whatever they want.

Not really. The USSR, China, Spanish America, and Japan are quite a bloc. Better than the historical Comintern for sure.

Well the TL isn't called "Spiraling Towards Freedom: Moving Forward, Not Backward"

I mean if you go far enough. But if you go far enough I'm related to Napoleon II.

Not the Eaglet. He is pure Bonaparte-Habsburg.

This is a very exciting TL and I would love to see a map of the new Ottoman Empire and the North Sea Empire. It's also interesting that it looks like both the Qing and the Mughals are experiencing a revival of good governance.

Hitler's fantasies of conquering all of northern Europe were deranged. He would have to defeat both Britain and the USSR, each of which have an economy the size of Germany. Even if he got Italy on his side, that just offsets the huge advantage France and Russia had against the Germans. My...

I wonder if Liao will go through a population boom in the 18th-19th centuries that the Qing did? In 1700, India and China had approximately the same population. In 1800 it was 200 million Indians to 330 million Chinese. In 1850, India's population had grown negligibly and China was now at 430...

OTL they messed with Virginia and split it into two states. They could extend that courtesy to the rest of the south.

So I saw this map on reddit It has given me some great ideas. Why not have the republicans carve out new, black-majority states out of the old ones? Cement black representation in Congress and black rights in most of the south.

If we can just pick anywhere in America, I'd say California. But we can't. Oklahoma is already Indian Territory. OTL it was opened for white settlement and the land was stolen, but since this isn't ASB, the best we can hope for is just for their situation to not get way way worse.

Best case scenario is that Oklahoma remains Indian territory.

I couldn't find specific numbers for the 30s or 40s for some reason. My numbers were from 1929, which is admittedly outdated, but only a couple million tons behind the German 1939 numbers, which were much higher than German 1929 numbers. The UK imported steel from the US because it had such a...
