Borderline communist. The two main parties are solidly socialist, one democratic socialist party (but farther to the left of most democratic socialist parties in the modern day) and one even more radically socialist party with some elements of fascism (particularly the extreme nationalism). The...

A short update, but I wasn't sure what to pair the battle with. The Second Great European War Part 4: The Battle for Stuttgart Pour la pureté, nous ne pouvons pas avoir la paix. (For purity, we can not have peace) - Pierre Drieu La Rochelle By the end of August in Germany, French forces...

No problem. The way ranks change across services is quite confusing.

Airman as in the rank, not a pilot :p

I don't think so. My dad was an Airman anyways, not in the Army. I suspect that he'd be fine in TTL provided the US airbase(s?) in Saudi Arabia at the time remain unharmed.

Did you mean 'quantity starting to overcome quality' here? And I just realized my dad was deployed in Saudi Arabia while all of this is going on :eek:

I have severe eczema too, as well as my mother, but you can bet if smallpox starts winding its way across my country I'll be hopping in my car and hitting the hospital.

If it's a weaponized strain, which I suspect, the Smallpox vaccine will provide a lot more immunity than one would normally have, but won't be nearly 100% effective.

It may not be left, but it's certainly not right wing. The fact that there was a vaguely socialist uprising portrayed as a bad thing doesn't make it a right-wing movie. You might as well call Interstellar left-wing propaganda because its central premise is climate change and space exploration. I...

Dan Quayle for President!

In the period between the end of the Civil War and the beginning of the Spanish-American War there were numerous proposals by both Central American governments and US politicians for the annexation of various Central American nations and Caribbean islands. As an example, the Dominican Republic...

The Second Great European War Part 3: August 1944 "From war, peace. From peace, war." - Anonymous Soldier, Western Front The international reaction to the outbreak of the Second Great European War was expectedly mixed. In Europe itself, those nations not involved tended to support strict...

An interesting TL within the TL would be the Riyadh bomb going off in Volgograd or Moscow instead.

That's...embarrassing. :o Thanks for catching it!

It had to happen eventually :cool: That will be covered in the next update, but suffice it to say that for now they are staying neutral.

The Second Great European War Part 2: July 1944 "Behind every war is an injustice unremembered." - Harold Wilson In retrospect, the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire was an entirely expected event. It had been at the center of the First Great European War* and fought a bloody civil war...

The Second Great European War Part 1: May-June 1944 "War does not determine who is right, only who is left" - Bertrand Russell On the outbreak of the 12 May incident and the ensuing declarations of war (most of which occurred formally on 16 May, four days into the war), the Soviet Union had a...

The world situation on the eve of the Second Great European War:

It's...aliiiiiveeeee! And, it begins. :cool: Revanche Part 2: Red Sparks While seeking revenge, dig two graves - one for yourself. - Douglas Horton On the other side of the continent, far from iconic Paris or the deserts of Libya, the Soviet Union bided its time. The Soviet Union had...

France and Britain split it on the Chao Phraya, so Bangkok is right on the border, but mostly on the British side. Argentina took the land from Brazil only a few years before the time the map is in now, after the Brazilian government was overthrown by a communist revolution, civil war, and two...
