There's no contradiction as others pointed out, since even slightly lengthening the war increases the casualties by hundreds of thousands if not millions. For example, if the war in Europe had lasted into 1946 many of OTL's Holocaust survivors would have perished while multiple German cities got...

What if Italy had been successful in the First Italo-Abyssinian War of 1896 and successfully established a protectorate over Ethiopia? Would this have affected Italian foreign policy to a degree in the era before the First World War?

I would love to see a chapter on that symbol of American capitalism and cultural imperialism IOTL-namely, Coca-Cola.

By far the second option IMO.

Best Colonialism and Revolutions Era Timeline: Separated at Birth: America and Drakia; Ephraim Ben Raphael

In the best case scenario, Huey Long is a very good President who enacts muscular social democracy in the United States including universal health insurance before US's path dependence on employer based health insurance and so on.

How democratic are the governments of New England and the Pacific States of America? Do they cooperate as both being splinter states of the US?

How could Britain end up retaining some exclaves in India much as Spain does with Spain and Melilla? Are there any potential scenarios where Britain insists on retaining some of its old EIC company possessions such as Calcutta or Madras?

Why would this be the case? South Korea had a large communist guerrilla movement before the Korean War but it did not revive after the conflict due to a mixture of economic growth and a repressive security state. North Korean infiltrators who were sent south to encourage a popular uprising met...

Rhee's economic record was very poor though his land reform probably provided some foundation for later growth. It was Park Chung Hee's dictatorship that presided over fast industrialization.

I'm creating this thread to raise discussion topics, speculation, and questions about Stirling's Domination series that might not merit individual threads. Is it ever mentioned in the Draka books if there are any Jewish Citizens, excluding a handful of post-World War II refugees given Metic...

Does Rushdoony have a similar theology to OTL (ie Presbyterian theocracy)? The radicalization of the Grangelanders has parallels to both OTL US Mountain West which went from a progressive bastion supportive of the New Deal to an area notorious as a haven for the far right and white...

Given the consensus seems to be that he would have immediately resigned due to considerations of age, how about a similar situation arising from a 1990s equivalent of 9-11 carried out either by an Al-Qaeda type organization (not necessarily the same one) or alternatively a far-right group? Given...

This is an incredible timeline. Love the combination of familiar political figures of 20th Century America and Middle American aesthetics/culture with a radically different political regime.

FDR was nothing like a dictator, right-wing libertarian mythology to the contrary.

Mostly lurking in this thread but I don't see how you can say South Korean government has been as incompetent as Argentina (at least post Syngman Rhee). Despite substantial corruption, economic policy has generally been much more competent (witness a liberal like Roh being willing to support a...

In November 2000, Republican incumbent Slade Gorton narrowly defeats Maria Cantwell and wins another term as US Senator from Washington. As a result, Republicans retain a narrow Senate majority with Dick Cheney as the tie breaking vote when Jim Jeffords defects to the Democrats in the summer of...

The discontinuity between the Edo and Meiji periods in Japanese history is quite exaggerated. Not saying that Japanese modernization could have been delayed by contingent events, but there were reasons why Japan was much more fertile ground for modernization than much of the non-Western world...

Free trade alone isn't neoliberalism imo, if said trade agreements are designed to bolster your exports for instance. Japan and South Korea are good examples of this.

I remember coming across a map some years ago that depicted an election in the New California Republic from the Fallout universe. The map showed the NCR divided into various states and described the political parties as well. I've used several different search terms, but came up with nothing. I...
