And to add another glaring problem: Olson's platform and programme in the OTL. "We, therefore, declare that Capitalism has failed and immediate steps must be taken by the people to abolish Capitalism in a careful and lawful manner, and that a new sane and just society must be established; a...

The issue with this hypothetical Panzer III/IV is that, it actually was tried and failed utterly in 1938. The idea was to place the turret of Panzer IV on the new, modified chassis of the Panzer III E named Daimler-Benz Einheitsfahrgestell. The production of the Panzer IV was to be discontinued...

Monarchist Mexico was added essentially to appease some demanding people on the forum, it was neither our original idea nor intention to add it to the DHKR to begin with. The content was then ported over to the KR4 and now is getting removed. I'm shedding no tears. Within devs back then, I...

As far as I know the GHQ originally wanted to abolish the bicameral system completely and it took some efforts from the Japanese government to persuade the GHQ why unicameralism wouldn't work in Japan. Another issue is that the House of Peers itself being a notorious hotbed of...

*shrug* No, second one can't even be called a possibility, and the very idea that the bureaucratic, centralized quagmire that was the Ming dynasty can be compared to the feudalic, decentralized situation in the British India shows you're simply ignorant.

The Wokou crisis of the 16th century did not resulted in an invasion of Japan. I'd expect same in this case of a hypothetical Spaniards' invasion as well because I think those invaders would be seen as pirates, regardless whether they're just private 'adventurers' or an officially sanctioned...

I personally liked the explanation of the book 1587, A Year of No Significance - The empire only grew bigger and bigger, so did its bureaucratic quagmire, and by the point of the year 1587 it grew so huge that even the emperor himself - the supposed heavenly son - couldn't challenge the system...

Plainly absurd.

I have absolutely no idea, my only knowledge on this topic is that navigating beyond the Bojador became only possible with the development of the volta do mar technique.

Surely this is not the point of the OP but I think that's very unlikely to happen.

The unification of the Spain wasn't written on the wall, so avoid the formation of the united Spain and that would be the easiest POD for the survival of the Portuguese state. Another possible change would be to take the Scottish step and diplomatically align the Portuguese Kingdom with those...

I'm sure 'the problem' was the other way around.

So your claim is that the Thirty Years' war was fought over colonial markets. Obvious troll. By the way, hi Smith - or should I call you Sumeragi?

1. No. It could not. Everyone with right mind will see this point. And indeed, contemporary like Mori Terumoto, in his letter from Korea to his family retainer after the conquest of Seoul in 1592, noting how they simply have not enough manpower to administrate Korea, questioned the viability of...

Plainly absurd.

Perhaps other forumites with more knowledge may have different opinions than mine, but I believe the only way to preserve the empire was to not get involved in the World War II at the first place.

No. And from what I understand, even the British policy-makers of the time perfectly understood it, that another world war would irreparably damage the empire. When they were embroiled into the Second World War, the British allowed itself to fall under the United States influence because there...

The thing is, during the Mongol occupation of the 'mainland' part of Korea, the Wang dynasty was nothing but a puppet of the hereditary dictatorship of the House of Choe. When the House of Choe crumbled, the royal house turned out to be the proponent of surrender, so the Mongols backed the dynasty.

All German invasion plans from 1936 to 1938 revolved around cutting Czechoslovakia in half for an obvious reason. The German 10th Army's motorized thrust was added only because Hitler was sensible enough to see that assaulting the most fortified sector (the part that was called 'Czech Maginot...

Not happening. There's a reason why Hitler rejected the peaceful transfer of Sudetenland at Bad Godesberg.
